According to Amazon:
We hit our first major mission milestone at 2:53 p.m. EDT when our mission operations center in Redmond, Washington, confirmed first contact with KuiperSat-2. This is when the satellite and one of our telemetry, tracking, and control (TT&C) antennas established a telemetry link for the first time. We made first contact with KuiperSat-1 at 2:54 p.m. EDT.
The Atlas V rocket that carried the Kuiper satellites to space launched at 2:06PM ET on Friday. You can watch a replay of the launch on YouTube.

“The [Information Commissioner’s Office’s] investigation provisionally found the risk assessment Snap conducted before it launched ‘My AI’ did not adequately assess the data protection risks posed by the generative AI technology, particularly to children,” according to the ICO’s notice.
The ICO notes that these are provisional findings, so there’s no enforcement yet or even a guarantee that one will happen. And the ICO says it will “carefully consider any representations from Snap before taking a final decision.”
“We are closely reviewing the ICO’s provisional decision,” Snap spokesperson Russ Caditz-Peck said in a statement. “Like the ICO, we are committed to protecting the privacy of our users. In line with our standard approach to product development, My AI went through a robust legal and privacy review process before being made publicly available. We will continue to work constructively with the ICO to ensure they’re comfortable with our risk assessment procedures.”
Snap launched the My AI chatbot to all users in April.
