EU requests details on porn platforms' actions to protect children.

 The European Commission has asked internet platforms Pornhub, Xvideos, and Stripchat what steps they take to protect minors and prevent the spread of unlawful content online.
By July 4, the corporations must provide thorough information on the steps they have taken to assess and reduce risks for children online, as well as prevent the spread of illegal content and gender-based violence, the Commission said on Thursday.

According to the Commission, among other things, "details on age assurance mechanisms adopted by these pornographic platforms" are required.
Last year, the European Union added the three adult content firms to its list of companies subject to strict new online content laws.
The Digital Services Act (DSA) requires enterprises to exchange data with authorities and academics, manage risk, and undergo external and independent auditing.

They also allow the Commission to levy fines for providing inaccurate, incomplete, or misleading information in response to a request for information.

After trading between 1.3715 and 1.3763, the loonie fell 0.2% to 1.3750, or 72.73 U.S. cents.

   [caption id="attachment_59317" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] image credit: Nvidia[/caption] Nvidia shares will drop to 10% of last week's price for good cause.

Stock splits lower share prices by giving present holders more shares, making it easier for more investors to buy a stock. Nvidia split like many other tech companies whose shares had soared, so it reined them back and prepared for a new growth phase. Alphabet, Amazon, and Tesla all divided stocks in recent years.

First, some stock split details. After trading closed on June 7, Nvidia

 Tesla shareholders were ready to approve Elon Musk's $56 billion pay plan, which was considered a vote of confidence in his leadership and an incentive to keep his focus on the electric vehicle company. Musk released a chart on his social media platform X late on Wednesday showing that the resolution and another vote to relocate the company's legal headquarters to Texas were expected to pass by large margins, though shareholders can amend their votes up until the commencement of the annual meeting. A source familiar with the preliminary voting results confirmed that Musk provided an accurate count of the figures.
