Strip health officials probe Wynn Las Vegas for Legionnaires’ disease after two travel-associated cases

The Southern Nevada Health District is investigating two travel-associated Legionnaires’ disease cases linked to Wynn Las Vegas. Environmental sampling found Legionella, prompting immediate water-system remediation; Wynn Las Vegas reports guest notifications and ongoing cooperation. Latest tests show no detectable Legionella in affected areas, and both patients (who stayed at the resort in September 2025 and February 2026) have recovered as the investigation continues.

EU pursues digital sovereignty to curb US Big Tech dominance

Europe remains heavily dependent on US Big Tech for cloud and digital services, with EU data largely housed by Amazon, Microsoft and Google. EU lawmakers are pushing for digital sovereignty through homegrown infrastructure, open-source platforms, and initiatives like Eurostack, but independent decoupling is costly and will take time (estimates range from about €300 billion to over €5 trillion). Pioneering projects like Schleswig-Holstein’s switch to open-source and Helsingborg’s resilience testing show it’s possible to reduce dependence, yet full replacement of US tech is unlikely in the near term. The EU plans to continue cooperation with the US and other partners while steadily expanding European alternatives, a shift requiring big investment and changed procurement practices.

Meta responded that it never claimed the accounts were officially PG-13 rated, but simply aligned its content moderation with PG-13 standards. The dispute highlights concerns over the accuracy and implications of Meta's content labeling for teens.
