Not so fast? DOJ may appeal mask decision |
| The Justice Department said Tuesday that it plans to appeal a federal judge's ruling that voided the federal mask mandate for travelers if the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention believe masking remains necessary. |
| "The department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health," the Justice Department said in a statement. "If CDC concludes that a mandatory order remains necessary for the public's health after that assessment, the Department of Justice will appeal the district court's decision." |
| Airlines and other travel-related companies dropped their mask mandates after U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle's ruling Monday and the Transportation Security Administration's decision to no longer enforce the mandate. |

📺 Netflix: Not so chill after latest quarterly report 📺 |
| Netflix has suffered the first loss in worldwide subscribers in a decade, deepening troubles that have been mounting since a surge from a locked-down audience during the pandemic's early stages began to fade. |
| How bad is it? Management predicted a conservative gain of 2.5 million subscribers. Instead, Netflix reported its customer base fell by 200,000 subscribers during the January-March period, according to a quarterly report released Tuesday. |
| "The big COVID boost to streaming obscured the picture until recently," co-CEO Reed Hastings said in a letter to investors. Another culprit is widespread password sharing, he said. Hastings estimated that Netflix is being shared with over 100 million households worldwide, with about 30 million in the U.S and Canada. |
| Hastings also hinted that new features that would force users to pay in order to share passwords with people outside their home would be coming to the U.S. within a year. |
