This is one of many copyright lawsuits filed against broadband providers, and it's not the first time an ISP has handed names of subscribers over.

One month into Donald Trump’s second term, government agencies have been demolished, thousands of federal workers have lost their jobs, and egg prices have gone so high they’ve become a meme.

There have been 11 aviation disasters, including 3 commercial airline crashes, in one month of the Trump administration. 90 people have been killed, yet Trump just fired hundreds of FAA employees. We created a resource to track aviation disasters and any future cuts to aviation safety.
