Several major cellphone carriers, including Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint (now merged), have been fined nearly $200 million in total by federal regulators for unlawfully sharing customers’ location data without consent. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced the fines following investigations revealing that the carriers sold access to customer location data to aggregators, who then sold it to third parties without proper authorization. FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel criticized the carriers for failing to protect sensitive customer information, highlighting the importance of safeguarding such data against cyber threats. The carriers attempted to shift responsibility for obtaining consent onto downstream recipients, resulting in many instances where valid customer consent was not obtained. Despite warnings, all four carriers continued to sell access to location information without implementing adequate protective measures, USA Today has reported. read more: https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2024/04/29/verizon-att-tmobile-fine-fcc-data/73503403007/ Links for B.C.

In February, home prices surged to a new peak despite soaring mortgage rates, exacerbating affordability challenges for many Americans amid a persistent housing shortage. According to the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller index, national home prices rose by 6.4% compared to the previous year, accelerating from the prior month’s 6% increase and marking the fastest growth since November 2022. On a monthly basis, prices climbed by 0.4%. Various factors are contributing to the affordability crisis, including years of underbuilding, rising mortgage rates, and expensive construction materials. Additionally, sellers who secured historically low mortgage rates during the pandemic are hesitant to sell, further constraining supply. Economists anticipate that mortgage rates will remain high throughout 2024, with a potential decline only occurring once the Federal Reserve begins to cut rates, Fox Business reported. read more: https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/home-prices-surge-another-record-high-february Links for B.C.

China’s aggressive buying of commodities has raised concerns among analysts about the possibility of the country resorting to the “economic nuclear option.” Speculation abounds regarding whether China is preparing for a significant devaluation of its currency, the yuan. Such a move could stimulate exports but would also trigger global economic repercussions and exacerbate trade tensions with the United States. China’s recent accumulation of resources like gold and oil suggests a strategy to bolster financial security and bargaining power in the event of a currency devaluation. The country’s central bank’s continuous gold purchases and increased crude oil imports indicate efforts to diversify assets and mitigate risks amid geopolitical tensions, Newsweek has reported. read more: https://www.newsweek.com/china-may-preparing-deploy-economic-nuclear-option-1894985 Links for B.C.

Both candidates have secured their party’s presumptive nomination, setting the stage for a rematch. Recent polls show a tight race, with Trump holding a slight edge in polling averages, The Hill reported. read more: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4630438-trump-leads-biden-major-battleground-emerson-hill-polls/ Links for B.C.

A recent survey conducted by The Hill and Emerson University indicates that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. could significantly impact the upcoming election. The poll suggests that Kennedy’s candidacy might hurt President Joe Biden’s campaign while benefiting former President Donald Trump’s chances. In a head-to-head matchup between Trump and Biden in key swing states, Trump leads by various margins. However, when Kennedy is included as an option, Trump’s leads tend to increase. Kennedy’s presence expands Trump’s lead in Georgia and contributes to his advantage in other states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and Nevada.

House Democratic leaders have pledged to support Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican, against a potential conservative coup led by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. This move aims to stabilize chamber business and prevent internal turmoil. Greene’s threat to oust Johnson stemmed from disagreements over deals he made with President Biden, including on federal spending and aid to Ukraine. Despite Greene’s motion, only two other GOP members have backed her, while some Democrats have promised to shield Johnson. The Democratic backing ensures that Greene’s efforts to remove Johnson will likely fail, The Hill has reported. read more: https://thehill.com/homenews/house/4632521-speaker-johnson-marjorie-taylor-greene-democrats-motion-to-vacate/ Links for B.C.

A former National Security Agency employee, Jareh Sebastian Dalke, received a sentence of nearly 22 years in prison for selling classified information to an undercover FBI agent posing as a Russian official. U.S. District Judge Raymond Moore described Dalke’s actions as a deliberate betrayal, bordering on treason. Despite Dalke’s claims of remorse and mental health issues, the judge emphasized the seriousness of the offense. Dalke’s defense argued for a lighter sentence due to his traumatic past and mental health struggles, but the judge remained skeptical, noting the lack of evidence provided.

Hamas is considering a new proposal from Egypt to release up to 33 hostages taken from Israel in exchange for a halt in hostilities in Gaza, sources informed CNN. The proposal, supported by Israel but not yet fully accepted, involves two phases. In the first, 20 to 33 hostages would be released over several weeks in exchange for a pause in hostilities and the release of Palestinian prisoners. The second phase aims for a “restoration of sustainable calm,” involving the exchange of remaining hostages, captive Israeli soldiers, and bodies for more Palestinian prisoners. This proposal could potentially end the war, but failure to agree may lead to an Israeli ground invasion in Rafah, Gaza, risking civilian casualties. Israel awaits Hamas’ response, with mediation efforts ongoing in Cairo. Yahya Sinwar, Hamas’ leader in Gaza, is expected to respond soon, CNN reported. read more: https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/29/middleeast/hamas-israel-ceasefire-proposal-cairo-talks-intl/index.html Links for B.C.

The United States called for a halt to arms sales to Sudan’s warring factions, citing the alarming situation in Darfur, where a genocide occurred two decades ago. U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield warned of a potential large-scale massacre in El Fasher, the only Darfur capital not held by paramilitary forces.
