Yes, there is a lawsuit that could eliminate Section 504khou.com, By Texas And Several Other States Could End It, on February 15, 2025https://www.khou.com/article/news/verify/section-504-lawsuit/285-643af794-fb84-4b84-a3fd-d8060ec5db71 The Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit challenging the inclusion of gender dysphoria under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which protects individuals with disabilities from discrimination in federally funded institutions. The lawsuit aims to remove gender identity protections, particularly under the Biden administration's recent changes, arguing that Section 504 itself is unconstitutional. The outcome could affect many individuals across Texas and beyond, impacting access to essential services like education, healthcare, and public accommodations, which rely on these nondiscrimination protections. If Section 504 were struck down, it could remove protections for individuals with various disabilities, not just those affected by gender dysphoria. These protections ensure equal access to services, such as wheelchair ramps, classroom accommodations, medical device use, and more. Beyond the LGBTQ+ community, many people with disabilities, such as diabetes, autism, or visual impairments, rely on these rights for their day-to-day lives. The potential loss of these protections could harm vulnerable populations, particularly in public institutions, like schools, hospitals, and other government-funded services. The broader implication is that removing these protections could set a dangerous precedent for dismantling anti-discrimination laws, affecting millions who benefit from them. The legal and political trends surrounding this lawsuit reflect a growing shift in how disability rights and LGBTQ+ protections are framed. Those opposing gender identity protections often view them as part of a broader "woke" agenda, but the consequences of dismantling these protections could affect many individuals across various communities. With a polarized political climate, where personal interests and ideological lines blur, there's a significant risk that broader legal protections could be weakened, jeopardizing the rights of marginalized groups. The lawsuit is further complicated by the current political and judicial environment, where a more conservative Supreme Court has been inclined to reverse precedents and interpret laws based on tradition rather than established legal frameworks. If this lawsuit succeeds, it could lead to the elimination of vital protections, not just for transgender individuals, but for many others who rely on Section 504 for equality and access to necessary services.The Non-Prophets, Episode 24.9.3 featuring Cynthia McDonald, Infidel64, Aaron Jensen and AJBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-non-prophets--3254964/support.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins 'Court Watch' host Alex Swoyer to discuss the Supreme Court, incoming Trump administration and lawfare.
Tech & Privacy FAQ - Week of January 14th, 2025 1. What's this new job referral "side hustle" all about? Some tech workers are making up to $30,000 by referring strangers for job openings. They connect with job seekers through platforms like Blind and Glassdoor, and sometimes use services like Refer Me and Refermarket to facilitate these referrals, even charging a fee. While referrals can improve hiring odds, this trend raises questions about authenticity and potential abuse. 2. Why is the Texas Attorney General cracking down on data privacy? Texas AG Ken Paxton is taking a strong stance on data privacy. He's issued warnings to companies like Sirius XM and apps like MyRadar for allegedly sharing user data without consent. He's also suing Allstate for secretly collecting driver data via cellphone apps and car manufacturers to raise premiums. Texas seeks restitution for consumers, damages, and hefty fines. 3. The EU fined itself for a GDPR violation? Seriously? Yes! The EU General Court fined the European Commission €400 for transferring a citizen's IP address to Meta in the US without proper safeguards. While a small fine, it sets a precedent and shows the EU's commitment to enforcing GDPR, even on its own institutions. 4. Is my data at risk from quantum computers? Experts warn that quantum computers, still in their early stages, could eventually crack current encryption methods. While not an immediate threat, it's wise to start researching "quantum-resistant" solutions to safeguard your data in the future. 5. How are hackers using AWS to hold data hostage? A ransomware group called Codefinger is exploiting stolen AWS keys to encrypt data in S3 buckets using AWS's own encryption. They then demand a ransom and set a timer to delete the data within a week. This highlights the need for strong IAM policies and regular key audits on AWS. 6. What are the latest trends in cyberattacks? Cybercriminals are shifting from email-based malware to browser-based attacks like drive-by downloads and malicious ads. Compromised credentials are a growing problem, often obtained cheaply from fraud marketplaces. Staying updated with software, using ad blockers, and being cautious online are crucial. 7. What's the T3 Financial Crime Unit doing about crypto crime? The T3 FCU, a collaboration between TRON, Tether, and TRM Labs, is actively combating crypto-related crime. They recently froze over $100 million in illicit assets across five continents. This highlights the importance of public-private partnerships in blockchain security. 8. Who was behind the massive WazirX crypto hack? The US, South Korea, and Japan have jointly confirmed that North Korea's Lazarus Group orchestrated the $235 million WazirX hack. This incident reinforces the need for strong security measures within the cryptocurrency ecosystem and emphasizes the threat posed by state-sponsored hacking groups.
The news of Texas covered today includes:Our Lone Star story of the day: The Texas Supreme Court slaps down the libs at the State Bar of Texas for going after Texas Attorney General staff over 2020 election lawsuits filed by the state.

It's Tuesday, December 17h, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian pastor killed by Muslim extremist On December 6th, another Christian pastor was killed in Nigeria, Africa -- this time in Jalingo, a town in the Taraba State. A Christian woman was also killed around the same time. Residents report at least a hundred killings in the area since the beginning of the year — as far as those that have been reported. The murders are conducted by Muslim extremists. The top 10 most dangerous nations in the world, according to their murder rates per 100,000 people, are El Salvador, Jamaica, Lesotho, Honduras, Belize, Venezuela, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, South Africa, St. Kitts, and Nigeria. Pray for Christians ministering in these areas today. Swiss gov't removed 16-year-old girl from parents over trans issue SWISS FATHER: “They've put aside 16 years of absolute commitment to our child and have taken away our child based on the lie that a person can be born in their own body. The story is truly a nightmare.” This Swiss father, along with his wife, featured in that YouTube clip, have lost their daughter by court order. Their crime? They refused to allow her to try to change her God-given gender. After appealing to Switzerland's Supreme Court with support from Alliance Defending Freedom, the couple lost the battle. The court ruled that the father and mother must “endorse [the child's] gender transition and enable their child's legal ‘sex change' or face the possibility of criminal charges.” Brazilian currency lost 20% of value The Brazilian real has lost 20% of its value against the U.S. dollar since the election of the socialist, Lula da Silva, in October 2022. Turkey and Mexico's currencies also weakened in 2024. And the American dollar weakened in reference to most other major currencies this year. Canada's Justin Trudeau on brink of resigning Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a leftist, is on the brink of resigning as his liberal government crumbles around him, reports Canadian Television News. Trudeau, age 52, is “considering his options as leader,” sources have told the broadcaster, while his Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland quit. Freeland quit on Monday after clashing with Trudeau on issues including how to handle possible U.S. tariffs, dealing a huge blow to an already unpopular government. In a stinging resignation letter, Freeland dismissed Trudeau's push for increased spending as a political gimmick that could hurt Ottawa's ability to deal with the 25 percent import tariffs U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says he will impose. The resignation by Freeland, age 56, who also served as deputy prime minister, is one of the biggest crises Trudeau has faced since taking power in November 2015. It also leaves him without a key ally when he is on track to lose the next election to Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. U.S. 30-year-fixed mortgage rate almost 7% The U.S. 30-year-fixed mortgage rate is scraping 7%, up from 6.2% back in October. WolfStreet.com estimates that the sale of 4.02 million existing homes this year is the lowest number since 1995. Two by Twos cult involved in child abuse A New York Post article addresses an anti-Trinitarian cult called “The Way” or “The Two by Twos” — being investigated by the FBI and other law enforcement organizations for extensive child abuse. An on-line resource called AdvocatesForTheruth.com alleges over 2,000 abuse cases, pointing to 910 unique abusers - 40% of whom were workers. The cult was formed in 1897 by a Scottish cleric by the name of William Irvine. Mormon cult child abuse Also, as of December 10th of this year, 91 civil lawsuits have been filed in California courts alleging child sexual abuse against Mormon leadership and congregants. The cases involve 20 bishops, 20 elders, 8 missionaries, and 5 high priests, among others. There are 977 Mormon wards in the Golden State. Keep in mind the cautionary note from Jeremiah 17:9. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?” Texas Attorney General sues over Abortion Kill Pill The State of Texas -- under the auspices of Attorney General Ken Paxton -- is suing a New York doctor for administering an abortion pill by telehealth to a Texas resident. This represents one of the first challenges to the shield laws put up by pro-abortion states for doctors who aid in the killing of babies in pro-life states. In response, New York Attorney General Letitia James issued this statement. She sad, “Abortion is, and will continue to be, legal and protected in New York. As other states move to attack those who provide or obtain abortion care, New York is proud to be a safe haven for abortion access.” What are these strange drones in the sky? Strange drone sightings have spread from New Jersey into Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Connecticut and Ohio. World Net Daily suggests that the drones are operated by the CIA in order to detect a dirty bomb. And former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has called for “state police to be able to have the authority to bring those drones down,” and for the Biden administration to tell the nation “what they are doing.” Appearing on ABC's This Week on Sunday, Christie said this. CHRISTIE: “I've lived in New Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that I've noticed drones over my house. The Biden administration and state authorities have to be more vocal and let people know exactly what they're doing. “They hear about drones being deployed in Ukraine all the time as weapons, and U.S. deploying drones as weapons at times. So, you can see why people are concerned. It's a lack of communication from the government at the federal and state level that's at fault here.” Planned Parenthood killing 20% more babies now Planned Parenthood is killing more babies than ever — a 20% increase over the last 10 years. The business ended the lives of 392,715 babies in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. That's up from 327,166 dead babies ten years earlier. Over the past ten years, Planned Parenthood killed a total of 3.8 million babies, and has taken in a whopping $6.5 billion in taxpayer funding. Taxpayers provided $700 million to the abortion business during the 2022-2023 fiscal year, reports LiveAction.org. We pray Psalm 9:19-20 today: “Arise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight. Put them in fear, O Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but men.” Jordan Peterson moving to America And finally, psychologist and media personality Jordan Peterson is moving to the United States for what he describes as a rise of “totalitarianism” in Canada. Peterson referred to rising taxes and a new bill introduced into the Canadian parliament, Bill C-63. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has pointed out that the new bill includes the potential of “life imprisonment for any crime or federal offense, if found to be motivated by hate” … to include “spray-painting racist words on a wall.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, December 17th, in the year of our Lord 2024.

Today we had the honor of hosting Senator John Cornyn of Texas, who has served in the US Senate since 2002 and is now in his fourth term. Senator Cornyn has been a steadfast advocate for Texas interests and supports policies that promote responsible domestic traditional energy production while exploring new energy sources to strengthen US energy independence. Senator Cornyn has held several key leadership roles including Republican Whip and currently serves on the Senate Finance, Intelligence, and Judiciary Committees. Before joining the Senate, Senator Cornyn served as a district judge, a member of the Texas Supreme Court and Texas Attorney General. We were thrilled to connect with Senator Cornyn for an election, energy and geopolitical focused discussion one week away from the 2024 Presidential Election. We begin by asking Senator Cornyn for his perspective on escalating international conflicts and global geopolitical tensions, including the Iran-Israel conflict, North Korea's involvement in Ukraine, and threats from Russia and China. We discuss the importance of robust US intelligence and deterrence to maintain global stability, the need for proactive US leadership in foreign conflicts, and the reality that “our holiday from history is over.” Senator Cornyn outlines opportunities and challenges in the coming lame duck session, key legislative actions, and Congressional priorities including national defense funding, tax policy, and the federal budget, as well as key Senate races and the potential for Republicans to retake the Senate. We explore America's energy potential, the strategic importance of US LNG to European allies, challenges with transmission and permitting for energy infrastructure, the evolution of US policy toward China, the possibility of permitting reform, and the merits of state versus federal power. We also touch on incentives for reshoring critical manufacturing to address supply chain vulnerabilities, national debt and budget priorities, and the critical importance of national unity despite political differences. It was a fantastic discussion, and we are very grateful to Senator Cornyn and his team for their continued efforts on behalf of the energy community. Mike Bradley kicked off the discussion by highlighting that markets this week are increasingly focused on a handful of Big Tech Q3 earnings and next week's Presidential election. On the bond market front, bond traders continue to be perplexed that the 10yr bond yield has spiked from 3.6% back to 4.3% over the last month, which is a higher level than the 10yr was trading prior to the 50-basis point cut at the September 18th FOMC Meeting. He noted that bond traders seem to be betting that Trump will win the Presidency and that his promise of Chinese Tariff increases and significant Federal regulatory cuts might lead to higher “real” growth and higher deficits. On the crude oil market front, WTI had fallen roughly $5/bbl this week on a brief de-escalation in Mideast tensions and concerns that Chinese economic stimulus plans would disappoint. On the broader equity market front, the S&P 500 continues to post new highs. Big Tech stocks seem to be retaking market leadership given that the market-weighted S&P 500 Index is again outperforming the equal-weighted S&P 500 Index. On the energy equity front, lower oil prices are leading many energy companies to take a more cautious approach on their Q3 calls which is continuing to weigh on the entire sector. Arjun Murti emphasized that long-term macroeconomic trends are more influential than election outcomes alone, and that a balanced “all-of-the-above” approach to support maximizing traditional resource production and exports as well as new energy technologies is crucial not only for the US but for developing nations seeking diversified energy for geopolitical and economic stability. We hope you find today's discussion as interesting and insightful as we di

And we were correct: yesterday, Texas sued TikTok under the SCOPE Act for allegedly “exploiting Texas children and failing to prioritize minors' online safety and privacy.” The lawsuit is the first alleging violations of the SCOPE Act. https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/texas-ag-sues-tiktok-in-first-lawsuit-brought-under-scope-act Paul Singer psinger@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8672 www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Paul-L-Singer Abigail Stempson astempson@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8678 www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Abigail-Stempson Beth Chun bchun@kelleydrye.com (202) 342-8671 www.kelleydrye.com/Our-People/Beth-Bolen-Chun Andrea deLorimier adelorimier@kelleydrye.com (202) 945-6642 www.kelleydrye.com/people/andrea-delorimier Hosted by Simone Roach Subscribe to the Ad Law Access blog - www.kelleydrye.com/subscribe Subscribe to the Ad Law News Newsletter - www.kelleydrye.com/subscribe View the Advertising and Privacy Law Resource Center - www.kelleydrye.com/advertising-and-privacy-law Find all of our links here linktr.ee/KelleyDryeAdLaw

At around 11:00 pm on the night of December 13, 2020, 21-year-old Texas State University student Jason Landry left San Marcos, Texas, to drive back to his parents' house. But he never made it home, and what happened next remains a mystery. Just after midnight, on what was now December 14, Jason's car was found wrecked on a desolate gravel road near Luling, Texas. His belongings—and the clothes he had been wearing while driving—were scattered along the road, but Jason himself was nowhere to be found. Despite extensive searches and countless hours of investigation, no trace of Jason has been found since that night. It's been more than three years since Jason went missing, and investigators are still searching for answers… In the late hours of December 13th, 2020, into the early hours of December 14th, 21-year-old Jason Landry was involved in a car accident near 2365 Salt Flat Road, outside Luling, Texas. He hasn't been seen since. At the time of his disappearance, Jason had medium-length brown hair, a goatee, and weighed around 170 pounds. He is white, 6'1”, with brown eyes. If you have any information, you can contact the Texas Attorney General's Office at 512-936-0742. There is a $20,000 reward for information. If you want to help search for Jason, a volunteer group holds monthly searches. You can email findjasonlandry@gmail.com for more information.

John is joined by Zina Bash and Ashley Keller, both Partners at Keller Postman, LLC which, with the Texas Attorney General, represented the State of Texas in an enforcement action against Meta Platforms for violations of Texas's biometric privacy law. They discuss the landmark $1.4 billion settlement they obtained from Meta for capturing and using biometric identifiers like face geometry without consent, the largest settlement ever by a single state. They explain how Texas's biometric privacy law differs from the better-known Illinois biometric privacy act because in Texas, there is no private right of action; only the state attorney general can bring lawsuits. Ashley explains that the claims against Meta concerned capturing biometric identifiers, such as the face geometry, of millions of Texas residents without informed consent, disclosing this data without permission, and failing to delete it after use. Among other defenses, Meta argued that because Facebook is a free service, it did not collect this information for commercial purposes. The State argued that Meta's actions were clearly tied to its business model. Meta also argued that it should not be penalized for scanning the faces of non-Facebook users because Meta could not obtain informed consent from non-users. The court rejected this argument, ruling that this was still a violation of the Texas law. They then discuss how the settlement followed a fast-track 18-month litigation process, a stark contrast to a similar Illinois case against Meta, which lasted five and a half years. Zina attributed the speed of this case to the aggressive approach of the Texas attorney general's office, which had been investigating Meta for over a year before the suit was filed. She explains that a major turning point was the Texas court's decision requiring Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to sit for deposition. Zina explains that Meta faced potentially ruinous damages of $25,000 per photograph that appeared on Facebook or Instagram. The discussion then turns to broader privacy concerns. Ashley and John note that Americans' attitudes towards privacy seems to have evolved, particularly regarding the intrusive data collection practices of tech giants like Meta. In the past, people might be willing to trade personal data for free services like social media, but more recently people are increasingly wary of how their information is being used without consent, especially as companies like Meta monetize that data. Finally, they note that most users don't fully read or understand the terms of consent they agree to in user agreements, raising questions about how genuinely informed their consent truly is.Podcast Link: Law-disrupted.fmHost: John B.

Most people can agree that protecting children from harmful online content — self-harm, disordered eating, gore, disinformation, extreme social pressure — is a good idea. Much of that falls on parents. But algorithms are disturbingly good at showing us extreme content we never searched, but can't look away from. Addiction (and thus more ads) is social media's business model. And keeping up with the Web wormholes that teenagers find themselves in is an impossible task, especially when these platforms are integral to their social lives. In response to the growing mental health crisis among teens (especially girls and young women), the U.S. Senate found bi-partisan support in two bills: COPPA 2.0 — which would expand the scope of 1998's Children's Online Privacy Protection Act to block data collection on minors aged 13-17 — and KOSA (The Kids Online Safety Act), which would turn OFF algorithmic recommendations and auto-play videos, and turn ON maximum privacy settings by default for kids. This seemed like a rare bi-partisan win. But as always, the truth is much more complicated. That's why we've called on Paul Singer to return for his 3rd appearance on the show to explain WTF is going on. Paul is a partner at the law firm Kelley Drye & Warren, where he specializes in consumer protection issues. Previously, he worked in the Texas Attorney General's office, with a particular focus on data protection. He even worked on the very first lawsuit brought through COPPA 1.0's enforcement back in 2000. He breaks down what's in these bills, why they have some good ideas, the fatal flaw that makes KOSA problematic (especially for marginalized communities), and what Congress (and courts) could do instead to protect all citizens from abusive tech platforms.
