GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) — The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) sent a text and email notification to parents and guardians with children from four to six years old whose records in the state system show their children may be overdue for the MMR vaccine.

“Measles is extremely contagious and can cause severe health complications, but it is almost entirely preventable,” said Dr. Rachel Herlihy, state epidemiologist for CDPHE.

To get you or your child the MMR vaccine, visit your primary care doctor, any public health agency or a local pharmacy.

Microsoft bans US police departments from using enterprise AI tool for facial recognition
Microsoft has changed its policy to ban U.S. police departments from using generative AI for facial recognition through the Azure OpenAI Service, the company's fully managed, enterprise-focused wrapper around OpenAI technologies. Language added Wednesday to the terms of service for Azure OpenAI Service prohibits integrations with Azure OpenAI Service from being used "by or for" police departments for facial recognition in the U.S., including integrations with OpenAI's text- and speech-analyzing models. A separate new bullet point covers "any law enforcement globally," and explicitly bars the use of "real-time facial recognition technology" on mobile cameras, like body cameras and dashcams, to attempt to identify a person in "uncontrolled, in-the-wild" environments.

EU plan to force messaging apps to scan for CSAM risks millions of false positives, experts warn
A controversial push by European Union lawmakers to legally require messaging platforms to scan citizens' private communications for child sexual abuse material (CSAM) could lead to millions of false positives per day, hundreds of security and privacy experts warned in an open letter Thursday. Concern over the EU proposal has been building since the Commission proposed the CSAM-scanning plan two years ago -- with independent experts, lawmakers across the European Parliament and even the bloc's own Data Protection Supervisor among those sounding the alarm.

Apple adds more carve-outs to its EU core tech fee after criticism from devs
Apple is tweaking how it applies a new fee that can affect iOS developers in the European Union as it continues to configure its approach to the bloc's Digital Markets Act (DMA): Developers of free apps will be able to avoid the fee entirely under changes it announced Thursday, which apply from today, while other developers earning under a certain revenue threshold will get longer before they have to pay Apple the fee. The core technology fee (CTF) remains opt-in for iOS developers in the region, as Apple continues to offer its standard business terms, but those wanting to take up new entitlements the DMA has required Apple to offer -- such as allowing sideloading of apps, third-party app stores, and support for alternative payment tech than Apple's own -- must agree to the set of business terms that include the CTF (as Apple calls it).

TechCrunch Minute: Where CZ’s sentencing leaves the state of crypto
Four months behind bars and a massive fine, that's what CZ is getting from the government for his crypto exchange's misdeeds. There's effort by some in crypto to promote the technology element of blockchains over their well-reported ability to generate new gambling opportunities. Chris Dixon of a16z frames this in "computer vs. casino" terms, which I think is reasonable.
