Texas received $1.4 billion from Meta Tuesday, settling claims the Facebook parent captured biometric information in violation of state law. The same day, tech industry groups sued Texas over a kids’ online safety law. NetChoice and the Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA) said the 2023 law (HB-18), which requires that social media companies verify users’ ages and get parental consent for children younger than 18, violates the First Amendment in a way similar to a 2021 Texas social media law that went to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Commerce Department and exporter Teh Fong Min (TMF) International Co. said on July 26 that it will appeal a May Court of International Trade decision finding that the agency erred in revoking the antidumping duty orders on stilbenic optical brightening agents from Taiwan and China after it didn't receive a timely notice of intent to participate in the order's sunset reviews from a domestic producer (see 2405290050). The trade court told the agency to conduct the full sunset reviews because U.S. manufacturer Archroma U.S. filed substantive responses to the agency's notice of initiation of the sunset reviews. According to its notice of appeal, Commerce will take the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (Archroma U.S. v. U.S., CIT # 22-00354).
Opposing the Commerce Department’s second remand redetermination regarding Spanish utility-scale wind towers (see 2406250029), a wind tower trade coalition argued July 23 that part of an investigation’s collapsed mandatory respondent is only a holding company, and so shouldn’t be allowed to participate in the review (Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy v.
