Today’s Hacker Newsroom looks at how information becomes leverage: from a reporter describing threats allegedly tied to a prediction-market bet, to a firsthand account of a deadly attack in Gaza that sparks debate about narrative and evidence. We also dig into Canada’s Bill C-22 and the recurring ‘lawful access’ vs. security dilemma, a study on how corruption affects trust differently in democracies, warnings about government dependence on a single data-platform vendor, and a potential SEC move that could reshape market transparency by changing quarterly reporting.
