    The Wall Street Journal reported on Meta’s decision to allow election ads that question the legitimacy of past elections.

    The change to was made “based on free-speech considerations,” according to the article. Earlier this year, YouTube announced it would stop removing false presidential election fraud claims.

    You can now buy subscriptions in Roblox experiences that offer them.

    The company rolled out the ability for developers to make them in September, and now, if you want, users can actually start paying for them. I’m curious to see if or how this might change the way Roblox developers build businesses around their experiences — subscriptions in the App Store ended up being a huge deal, after all.

    Valve says the transparent, limited edition OLED Steam Deck is an “experiment.”

    “We’re hopeful that people are excited about this release, and if we see high demand it will give us confidence to do more colorways in the future,” Valve said on X (formerly Twitter).

    I imagine the device will sell out faster than you can say “Half-Life 3” when it goes on sale on Thursday, so hopefully Valve does take that as a sign that the people want Steam Decks in more colors.

    Threads now lets everyone pin posts.

    Like with X (formerly Twitter), you can pin a post to the top of your profile. But you can also pin a reply to one of your posts, which I think could be a really useful tool.

    Meta started testing the feature last month, and Instagram boss Adam Mosseri announced that pinned posts were live on Tuesday.
