That's led to an increasing number of states passing laws aimed at curtailing their influence on young users. On Thursday, New York became the latest.

NewsRadio WFLA Legal Analyst Felix Vega breaks down the Florida Supreme Court's upcoming decisions on abortion and marijuana ballot initiatives, potential legal issues with Florida's new social media law, and a stabbing over an Easter egg hunt.
The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Ben Protess and William K. Rashbaum of The New York Times write: “The New York judge presiding over one of Donald J. Trump's criminal trials imposed a gag order on Tuesday that prohibits him from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and jurors, the latest effort to rein in the former president's wrathful rhetoric about his legal opponents. The judge, Juan M. Merchan, imposed the order at the request of the Manhattan district attorney's office, which brought the case against Mr. Trump. The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, has accused Mr. Trump of covering up a potential sex scandal during and after his 2016 campaign.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/26/nyregion/trump-trial-gag-order.html 6:10pm- At 1:30am on Tuesday, a shipping vessel lost power causing it to collide with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland—causing the bridge to collapse. Governor Wes Moore said the preliminary investigation “points to an accident” and that he hadn't seen any “credible evidence of a terrorist attack.” Speaking from the White House Tuesday afternoon, President Joe Biden echoed similar statements and vowed that the federal government “will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing the bridge.” 6:20pm- BREAKING NEWS- Joe Flint and Isabella Simonetti write: “NBC News cut ties with Ronna McDaniel mere days after it hired the former Republican National Committee chairwoman as a contributor, a dramatic about-face that followed a very public rebuke from some of its biggest stars. The move, which was announced Tuesday afternoon in a memo, caps a frantic four days for NBC News, which had looked to bring in a conservative voice to its political coverage ahead of the presidential election but instead became the target of broad condemnations from observers and employees alike.” You can read the full story here: https://www.wsj.com/business/media/ronna-mcdaniel-nbc-610d30bc?mod=hp_lead_pos1 6:40pm- On Monday, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation that would prevent children under the age of 14-years from creating, or using, a social media account without parental approval. Social media companies will now be required to verify the age of its users—deleting accounts belonging to minors.
Florida just put into law a ban on kids under 14 having social media accounts, and a requirement of parental consent for kids under 16. Good idea? Or should parents decide for themselves?

Tech sector asks Fifth Circuit to stop Texas's social media law from taking effect The State of Texas's social media law which stops tech companies from taking down hate speech and misleading information has reached the Fifth Circuit in a motion that this organization – WashingTech – has participated in amicus filings for. We agree with NetChoice and the Computer and Communications Industry Association (CCIA) that this law impinges on platforms' First Amendment rights and the discretion Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act affords them to moderate content posted by third parties. It would allow traditional media platforms, like Fox News, to ban progressive voices but require competing online platforms to host politically-motivated harmful content, including election misinformation. Abortion advocates pushback against “people search” websites Cyberscoop notes that abortion rights adovocates' privacy rights are put in jeopardy by people search websites, like BeenVerified, which share their personal contact information. Maleeha Aziz, deputy director of the Texas Equal Access Fund, told Cyberscoop that she installed security cameras around her home because she lives in constant fear, because of her abortion advocacy, that anti-abortion extremists or solicitors will come knocking on her front door at any moment. Reuters exclusive: child pornography solicitations on Twitter have been showing up next to PBSKids ads Several brands, as many as 30, to be exact, have had to limit their advertising on Twitter after Reuters found their ads showing up next to solicitations by pedophiles for content depicting child abuse. Disney, Coca Cola, NBCUniversal, PBS – are just some of the companies that were affected. Privacy advocates want the FTC to tamp down on daycare apps Privacy advocates are pushing back about daycare apps that let parents and caregivers stream videos of their babies in daycare. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) argues that these platforms host images of kids in unsecure, cloud-based storage apps, and, in one case, an app called Tadpoles for Parents, shared these images on Facebook without notifying parents of their privacy policy.
A Texas law banning social media companies from applying certain content moderation policies was recently upheld by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The 2021 law prohibits platforms from banning or restricting content based on the “viewpoints” of users. Now, tech companies will have to appeal to the Supreme Court if they want to avoid legal risk in the state. Marketplace’s Kimberly Adams spoke about this case on the show back in May, when the Supreme Court put the implementation of the law on hold while the case ran its course. Issie Lapowsky, chief correspondent at Protocol, helped Adams back then and joins her again for an update. She says tech companies are in a tough spot.

On This Episode: DESANTIS, ABBOTT, AND FLYING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY When Governors most affected by the 8,000 humans crossing our border each day sent many of them to New York, Chicago, and Washington DC, I thought it was a good and right decision. Small Texas towns don't have the resources to sustain the 2 million people who illegally cross the border this year. Moreover, the folks who govern and largely populate these cities need to be shown what their lawless, open-border policies cost and cause. Leftist border policy is inhumane, and they need to see the human cost. Then those governors, however, took it one step too far. Humans are not props for political arguments. Sending these folks to Kamala Harris's residence and to Martha's vineyard was trolling. You might have laughed at the trolling, but it wasn't right. It's unproductive. This was a lesson of doing the right thing in the wrong way. The Left need to see the consequences of their inane, immoral border policies, but as we make arguments, let's make them humanely. LESSONS YOUNG PEOPLE NEED I recently spoke to a group of college students on some of the themes they'll need as they enter adulthood. I emphasized practical ways to build discipline -- because motivation is brittle and fleeting. We talked about the dangerous and safe places to derive meaning and then finally about why we should embrace getting older and leaving childishness behind. SOCIAL MEDIA LAW UPHELD I'm struggling with this one. Texas passed a law saying large social media companies can't censor their users. My libertarian streak bristles at this idea. It's their companies, so leave them alone. The lawyers defending Texas's law, though, made some compelling points. I wrestle with the competing interests on show.

The law stuffs of the week. Trump Special Master. Bill Barr bad. Trudeau bad. Texas social media lawsuit. Yeshiva lawsuit. AND MORE!
On May 31, by a five-four vote, the Supreme Court blocked a Texas law from going into effect that would have sharply limited how social media companies could moderate their platforms and required companies to abide by various transparency requirements. We've covered the law on this show before—we recorded an episode right after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit allowed Texas to implement the law, in the same ruling that the Supreme Court just vacated. But there's enough interesting stuff in the Supreme Court's order—and in Justice Samuel Alito's dissent—that we thought it was worth another bite at the apple. So this week on Arbiters of Truth, our series on the online information ecosystem, Evelyn Douek and Quinta Jurecic invited Genevieve Lakier, professor of law at the University of Chicago and Evelyn's colleague at the Knight First Amendment Institute, to walk us through just what happened. What exactly did the Supreme Court do? Why does Justice Alito seem to think that the Texas law has a decent chance of surviving a First Amendment challenge? And what does this suggest about the possible futures of the extremely unsettled landscape of First Amendment law?Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.
