Reddit has been ordered to appear before a grand jury as the Trump admin tries to unmask anonymous online critics. “We should be very, very, very concerned that they’ve now taken one of these to a grand jury,” EFF’s @davidgreene.bsky.social told @theintercept.com. theintercept.com/2026/04/10/...

A Redditor Criticized ICE. Trump Is Trying to Unmask Them by Dragging the Company to a Secret Grand Jury.
An ICE summons to get the user’s identity failed. Advocates worry the move to a grand jury signals an escalation of the war on dissent.

Rick Beato doesn't need promotion, but his recent episode with @bennjordan.bsky.social is a great conversation that gets into Jordan's (incredibly important and fascinating) work on privacy, sonic weapons, how AI music works and why it sucks. Highly recommended for any audio nerds and privacy nuts

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins
Paxos, the issuer of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin, accidentally minted 300 trillion of the supposedly dollar-pegged token. For context, this is approximately 2.5x the global GDP, and around 125x the total number of US dollars actually in circulation.
Paxos later announced that the mint was an "internal technical error", and that they had burned the excess tokens.
While PayPal promises its customers that "Reserves are held 100% in US dollar deposits, US treasuries and cash equivalents – meaning that customer funds are available for 1:1 redemption with Paxos," there clearly isn't much in the way of safeguards to ensure that is always the case. As with most stablecoin issuers, Paxos merely issues self-reported and unreviewed portfolio reports, and monthly third-party attestations (not audits) of reserves.
