Twitter introduced a new policy that aims to make sure the social network does not amplify or recommend disinformation during an international armed conflict and crisis. The new policy will be immediately applied to misinformation surrounding the war in Ukraine. Twitter and other social media platforms have wrestled with how to limit abuse, rein in hate speech and slow the spread of false information while facing criticism from lawmakers, users and advertisers. This effort, like many others, may be undone if Elon Musk buys the company.

The 2020 census undercounted people in six states and overcounted them in eight states, a new report by the Census Bureau found. The revelations come after the population totals from a census beset by the pandemic and years of interference from former President Donald Trump’s administration have already been used to divvy up seats in the House of Representatives, as well as votes in the Electoral College for the next decade. Some data from the 2020 census is still delayed – the longest in census data memory – and the bureau said it would not be able to publish the data until at least May 2023.

Cryptocurrency’s near-$2 trillion loss in value devastated an untold number of investors and is prompting some to question if the market could trigger a broader economic slowdown.

In a report released this week, the American Clean Power Association said 10 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity set to go online last year was delayed, and the trade group expects issues like inflation, supply chain and regulatory action to have an impact on future growth.

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said America faces a crisis on its roads following a report that traffic-related deaths were up last year. Americans drove about 325 billion more miles last year than in 2020, which contributed to the increase. Friday marks the annual Bike to Work Day event, meant to raise awareness around riding and celebrate the efforts of those able to avoid driving or public transit. Researchers discovered in one study that commutes involving more physical activity, like walking or biking, correlated with less stress and better performance at work.
