Colab's collaborative tools for engineers line up $21M in new funding
Engineers Adam Keating and Jeremy Andrews were tired of using spreadsheets and screenshots to collab with teammates — so they launched a startup, Colab, to build a better way. The two met as undergraduates at Memorial University of Newfoundland, where they studied mechanical engineering together. While they were completing their last internships prior to graduating (Andrews at Tesla, Keating at health startup Reflexion Medical), they noticed that professional engineering teams were relying on clunky tools — namely spreadsheets and Powerpoint decks — to get collaborative work done.

EU 'closely' monitoring X in wake of Fico shooting as DSA disinfo probe rumbles on
European Union enforcers of the bloc's online governance regime, the Digital Services Act (DSA), said Thursday they're closely monitoring disinformation campaigns on the Elon Musk-owned social network X (formerly Twitter) following the Wednesday shooting of Slovakia's prime minister, Robert Fico. The bloc has been formally investigating X since last December over disinformation in civic discourse and the effectiveness of the platform's crowdsourced 'Community Notes' content moderation feature, among a bundle of other concerns -- though, so far, no sanctions have been forthcoming. Yesterday Musk personally responded to -- and thus amplified -- a post on X, by the right-wing political influencer, Ian Miles Cheong, which sought to link the shooting to views he suggested Fico holds rejecting the World Health Organization's pandemic prevention plan.

EU opens child safety probes of Facebook and Instagram, citing addictive design concerns
Facebook and Instagram are under formal investigation in the European Union over child protection concerns, the Commission announced Thursday. The proceedings follow a raft of requests for information to parent entity Meta since the bloc's online governance regime, the Digital Services Act (DSA), started applying last August. The development could be significant as the formal proceedings unlock additional investigatory powers for EU enforcers, such as the ability to conduct office inspections or apply interim measures.
