This is clear SCOTUS precedent after their disastrous Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton decision. Expect these social media bans to be upheld 9-0, 6-3 at worst, if appealed to SCOTUS.
Florida’s social media law, which can now come into effect, bans accounts for children under 14, even with parental permission.

This is a good reminder that we must never forget the harmful content Facebook has refused to act on www.engadget.com/2019-03-29-c...
In his acceptance speech, Lula says he will work to regulate digital platforms in Brazil. “Digital crimes must be dealt with like real-life crimes.” This comes after Meta directly interfered with the Brazilian elections, favouring Flávio Bolsonaro.

Heartbreaking story to read about a sex worker being assaulted by a client. I read the whole thing. And PS: this exact situation happens to clients as they have been sexually assaulted by sex workers in the past (and yes, trick rolling is a form of sexual assault by sex workers).
When a sex worker experiences violence, the hardest part of asking for help may be deciding whom to trust. A Woman Named Sarah- Sarah knows about the National Human Trafficking Hotline. She's heard about helping victims escape exploitation Now she's wondering whether the hotline is meant for her

That's how trust grows. Nobody should have to prove they were trafficked to deserve protection from violence. And nobody should risk criminalization simply to report a crime committed against them. www.swopbehindbars.org/post/two-hot...

The person experiencing violence should have a meaningful voice in deciding what happens next. Trust cannot be manufactured through awareness campaigns. It develops when people receive useful assistance, retain control over decisions, and discover that asking for help doesn't create another crisis.

But Sarah's problem doesn't fit neatly into that framework. She doesn't have a trafficker. She has an extremely violent client. Sarah thanks the advocate and hangs up. she still doesn't know where she'll sleep tonight. Worse, she's wondering whether calling was a mistake.

She dials. Sarah explains that a client assaulted her. She needs medical attention, help deciding whether to report. The conversation turns toward her circumstances. Is someone forcing her to sell sex? Controlling her money? These are reasonable questions when assessing potential trafficking.

During that arrest, officers searched her phone, questioned her about other workers. Her family found out, she lost her apartment. She has spent years rebuilding her life. Reporting another crime could put everything at risk. She remembers the hotline advertises confidential assistance & referrals

Sarah isn't being trafficked or trying to leave sex work. She's been assaulted by a violent client who stole her money and threatened to expose her to her family. She wants him stopped before he hurts someone else. But Sarah has been arrested for prostitution before.

Todd Blanche and this corrupt administration are already planning to play games with the election. Apparently, old habits die hard because this man is still acting like Trump’s personal attorney. Our democracy does not belong to Trump and his sellout friends. It belongs to the people.
Attorney General Todd Blanche leaves open the possibility that the Justice Department could seek to block states from certifying votes in the midterm elections, though Blanche insists it wasn’t his intention to “improperly interfere with elections.”

Corrupt Super PAC chose the wrong person to text This is the reason to outlaw political action committees (PACs). Earlier this afternoon, the misogynistic GOP Super PAC known as Women Speak Out PAC decided to text yours truly with bullshit.
