35 <p>The hard part of connecting a gooey, thinking brain to a cold, one-ing and zero-ing computer is getting information through your thick skull—or mine, or anyone’s. The whole point of a skull, after all, is keeping a brain safely separate from [waves hands at everything].</p>
36 <p>So if that brain isn’t yours, the only way to tell what’s going on inside it is inference. People make very educated guesses based on what that brain tells a body to do—like, if the body makes some noises that you can understand (that’s speech) or moves around in a recognizable way. That’s a problem for people trying to understand how the brain works, and an even bigger problem for people who because of injury or illness can’t move or speak. Sophisticated imaging technologies like functional magnetic resonance can give you some clues. But it’d be great to have something more direct. For decades, technologists have been trying to get brains to interface with computer keyboards or robot arms, to get meat to commune with silicon.</p>

63 <p>After years of building political pressure for antitrust scrutiny of major tech companies, this month Congress and the US government delivered. The House Antitrust Subcommittee released a report accusing <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/congress-unveils-plan-curb-big-tech-power/">Apple, Amazon, Google, and Facebook</a> of monopolistic behavior. The Department of Justice <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/what-google-does-illegally-according-doj/">filed a complaint</a> against Google alleging the company prevents consumers from sampling other search engines.</p>
64 <p>The new fervor for tech antitrust has so far overlooked an equally obvious target: US broadband providers. “If you want to talk about a history of using gatekeeper power to harm competitors, there are few better examples,” says Gigi Sohn, a fellow at the Georgetown Law Institute for Technology Law & Policy.</p>

87 <p>A federal judge in Pennsylvania has blocked a Trump administration order that would have banned TikTok from operating inside the United States as of November 12, finding that content creators who use the short-form video platform to make a living would suffer "irreparable harm" if the ban were to go through. </p>
88 <p>The "significant and unrecoverable economic loss caused by the shutdown of the TikTok platform" was grounds for granting an injunction, Judge Wendy Beetlestone of the US District Court for Eastern Pennsylvania wrote in a ruling (<a href="https://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/gov.uscourts.paed_.575844.35.0_1.pdf">PDF</a>) today.</p>
89 <p>President Donald Trump in August issued <a href="https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/08/trump-plans-tiktok-wechat-ban-declares-apps-national-emergency/">an executive order</a> declaring TikTok (as well as another China-based app, WeChat) to be a national emergency. That order gave the Department of Commerce 45 days to put a list of banned actions into place. Commerce did so, <a href="%22https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/09/tiktok-wechat-to-be-pulled-from-us-app-stores-as-of-september-20/">prohibiting new TikTok downloads</a> after September 20 and banning nearly every other TikTok feature after November 12.</p></div><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/?p=1718625#p3">Read 5 remaining paragraphs</a> | <a href="https://arstechnica.com/?p=1718625&comments=1">Comments</a></p><div class="feedflare">
