華華：昨天不是愚人節嗎？我弟弟不知道從哪裡弄來了一些作弄人的糖果，騙我說要請我吃吃看，結果不但把嘴都染黑了，還害我過敏，整個腫起來，晚上我去醫院拿了藥，今天還比昨天好一點了。

翻譯 Translation
Qingqing: Hey? Huahua! What happened to your mouth?
Huahua: Don’t bring it up! It’s all because of my younger brother! It’s so infuriating!
Qingqing: What happened? It’s so swollen. Did you see a doctor?
Huahua: Wasn’t yesterday April Fools’ Day? My brother somehow got hold of some prank candies and tricked me into trying them, saying he wanted to treat me. As a result, not only did my mouth turn black, but it also caused an allergic reaction, swelling up. I went to the hospital last night and got some medicine. Today is a bit better than yesterday.
Qingqing: Oh! April Fools’ Day pranks are okay, but it’s not good if they go too far.
Huahua: The worst part is those who choose April Fools’ Day to confess their feelings. It’s unclear whether it’s true or false, and it’s super annoying.
Qingqing: Hahaha! Congratulations! Someone confessed to you! Even if it’s a prank, you should be happy.
Huahua: Come on! Do I really have no one interested in me? Remember that!

Colorado has taken a pioneering move towards protecting consumer privacy in the age of brain-computer interfaces. With the rise of neurotechnology, which involves technology that monitors and interacts with the brain, data privacy concerns are coming to a head. In response to growing anxieties, Colorado has become the first state in the US to pass an amendment that safeguards the privacy of human brainwaves. On April 17, Colorado announced an update to its Privacy Act, which went into effect on August 6. The new Colorado Privacy Act classifies brainwaves as “sensitive personal information,” offering them the same protections that
The Australian government will legislate for a ban on social media for children under 16, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said on Thursday last week, in what it calls a world-leading package of measures that could become law late next year. Australia is trialing an age-verification system to assist in blocking children from accessing social media platforms, as part of a range of measures that include some of the toughest controls imposed by any country to date. Albanese cited the risks to physical and mental health of children from excessive social media use, in particular the risks to girls from harmful depictions of

However, many new devices that can record consumers’ brainwaves or analyze the brain in other ways have been launched in recent years. Often marketed outside the realm of medical equipment, these devices evade the existing safety and privacy standards for healthcare devices. Experts are raising concerns about this lack of oversight, fearing the potential for these tools to become mind-reading devices without users’ consent or knowledge. Other US states are considering similar regulations to protect their citizens in regard to neuro data gathered by technology companies. Colorado’s
