Paddle brings recurring Pix payments to SaaS subscriptions in Brazil

Brazilian customers can authorize Pix Automático mandates for Paddle subscriptions without a separate early-access application. The path broadens local-payment access for SaaS, while delayed renewals, fixed mandate amounts and re-authorisation requirements still create implementation caveats.

Appeals court revives the Pentagon’s Anthropic supply-chain blacklist, restoring a Claude procurement barrier

The Anthropic procurement fight changed materially on September 25: a 2–1 federal appeals-court ruling backed the Pentagon’s supply-chain-risk designation.
