Trader Bonk Guy (@theunipcs) responded to criticism over his purchase of EMBER after a Bubblemaps cluster chart circulated widely. According to Foresight News, some users interpreted the chart as showing that more than 50% of EMBER supply was linked to the same address cluster, while others suggested the cluster was connected to him and questioned his motive for buying EMBER. Bonk Guy said EMBER does not have an internal bundle or internal cluster controlling more than 50% of supply. He explained that the address links shown in the chart came from EMBER's flywheel mechanism, which distributes tokens through an externally owned account (EOA) rather than a contract. Because the EOA transferred tokens to multiple user wallets participating in the mechanism, Bubblemaps grouped the distribution wallet and all receiving addresses into the same linked network. He said the flywheel mechanism is one of EMBER's main features and distinguishes it from other token issuance platforms. The addresses receiving tokens in the chart belonged to normal users, not insiders. Bubblemaps also suggested that the project replace the EOA with a contract, and Bonk Guy said he hoped EMBER developers would adopt that recommendation. He again denied any connection between himself and the alleged insider cluster.

According to the BBC, hundreds of Americans were fired or disciplined after posting critical comments about conservative activist Charlie Kirk following his killing on 10 September, and some have since won settlements or reinstatement. The cases include former sports writer Gerald Bourguet, Tennessee professor Tamar Shirinian, theatre professor Darren Michael, and Florida wildlife biologist Brittney Brown, with payouts ranging from $485,000 to $1.9 million in the cases cited. The BBC reported that employers acted after a pressure campaign that included calls from Vice-President JD Vance to contact workers' bosses, while White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said anyone who endorses political violence or assassination culture should be condemned. Reuters counted more than 600 instances last November, though the BBC said that was likely an undercount. Bourguet said he was fired after criticizing Kirk online, while Brown, Shirinian and Michael also lost jobs over posts or reposts related to Kirk's death or views.

According to the BBC, Nazira Haji Zada, an Afghan woman living in Texas with legal U.S. permanent residency, has been deported in the first-ever use of the Alien Terrorist Removal Court. The U.S. Department of Justice said Haji Zada, 47, chose to leave the United States rather than continue her case before the secretive court, which was created in 1996 but had never heard a case before proceedings in July. Lawyers for Haji Zada said the case violated her constitutional right to due process and said they were denied access to the evidence. The justice department said she conceded that she was an alien terrorist and waived appeal of the removal order, ending her immigration status. U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche called the case a win for national security and the rule of law. Prosecutors had not charged Haji Zada with a crime, but her son, Abdullah Haji Zada, and son-in-law, Nasir Ahmad Tawhed, were convicted of plotting a mass shooting on Election Day in 2024 inspired by Islamic State.
