The EPA drafted a proposal weakening leak inspections and equipment upgrades at more than 700,000 low-producing oil and gas wells while reducing methane controls across the industry.

A proposed US class action accused Meta of extracting biometric information from Facebook and Instagram photos, while China’s Supreme People’s Court issued guidance for civil disputes involving AI deepfakes.

Pakistan’s medical regulator ordered colleges to send home most of the more than 200 Afghan medical and dental students enrolled in the country, citing missing PMDC registration.
