Reddit has criticized Australia's social media restrictions as 'inept' amid a court challenge, per Lufkin Daily News.

The legal proceedings follow a recent ruling that the ban on posting certain content is unconstitutional, Bloomberg reports.

Meanwhile, tensions rose when the Russian ambassador’s wife joined a local club, prompting a walkout by staff, Politico notes.
