The European Parliament has figured out how to pass controversial legislation by bypassing a full vote of all 720 MEPs. Separately, NATO allies are considering a major overhaul of military planning, prioritizing Russia and deprioritizing conflicts further away. The European Parliament also unveiled its new Digital Fairness Act, which aims to help consumers online.
