A federal judge rejected the FDA's plan to release Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine data over 75 years, instead ordering the agency to produce 55,000 pages per month.

Adam Curry reads the specific technical requirements of the court order issued to Apple, which demands the creation of a "Signed iPhone Software" (SIF) file. This software would disable the auto-erase feature and passcode delay on a specific device to allow the FBI to perform a brute-force attack.

The EU media report suggests that internet user data should be made available via court order to identify those "harming others" through media.
