Vermont Bans Paraquat Over Parkinson’s Risk, First State Action in the U.S.

Vermont Bans Paraquat Over Parkinson’s Risk, First State Action in the U.S.

Vermont becomes the first U.S. state to ban the herbicide paraquat, citing NIH-linked research that exposure raises Parkinson’s disease risk; the law takes effect on November 1 but allows state regulators to issue special permits through December 31, 2030 for use on certain fruit crops. It requires annual reporting of paraquat use and funds a state study on alternatives. While some lawmakers worry about farmers’ competitiveness, supporters say the health risks justify action, and other states are weighing similar bans amid ongoing lawsuits against the chemical.

FCC Bans Foreign-Made Routers, Forcing a Waiting Game on Security Updates

The FCC has barred the sale of new foreign-made routers in the US, effectively freezing most of the market and risking that devices won’t receive security updates after March 1, 2027. Experts advise delaying new router purchases until the scope of exemptions is clarified; for immediate needs, consider an older budget model and prioritize securing current devices while updates remain possible.

UK weighs court-ordered ban on X under Online Safety Act amid AI image controversy

Britain’s Ofcom has opened a formal probe into X under the Online Safety Act over risks from illegal content and inadequate safeguards for users and children. If breaches are found, the regulator could seek court-ordered “business disruption measures” — effectively a de facto ban — though such action is described as a last resort. The government has signaled support for a ban, but Ofcom stresses it must follow due process, and penalties can include up to £18m or 10% of worldwide revenue. The investigation timeline is uncertain and could range from months to a potential expedited process depending on findings and remedial steps.

MTG Implements Major Ban Update Across Multiple Formats

Wizards of the Coast announced significant bans across multiple Magic: The Gathering formats, including banning Vivi Ornitier in Standard to curb deck dominance, along with bans on Proft’s Eidetic Memory, Screaming Nemesis, and others to promote diversity and balance. Additionally, they banned Entomb and Nadu in Legacy, and re-banned High Tide in Pauper due to problematic gameplay. Several pre-bans were also issued in Historic and Brawl, reflecting a focus on maintaining format health. The next bans are scheduled for February 9th, with hopes for a more balanced metagame.
