California Scrutinizes Electric Bikes
California legislators are proposing new regulations to combat online child sexual abuse on major technology platforms. The hearing addressed the issue of workers losing an estimated $4 billion annually in stolen and unpaid wages. Many of these workers are reportedly never repaid. Experts suggest that the data currently driving concerns regarding e-bikes may not provide a complete picture. The scrutiny comes as officials evaluate safety or usage standards for the vehicles. City officials previously stated that no approvals have been granted for related projects and that a full environmental impact report would be required. The Pew Research Center reported this month that most new data centers are being proposed in rural areas. One proposal involves targeting manufacturers and sellers who market these devices as e-bikes.
