This Day in Legal History: Social Security ActOn August 14, 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law, establishing the foundation of the modern American welfare state. The legislation was a centerpiece of Roosevelt's New Deal and aimed to address the widespread economic insecurity caused by the Great Depression. For the first time, the federal government created a structured system of unemployment insurance and old-age pensions, funded by payroll taxes collected from workers and employers. The law also introduced Aid to Dependent Children, a program designed to support families headed by single mothers, later expanded into Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC).The Act marked a major shift in federal involvement in individual economic welfare and signaled a broader acceptance of the idea that the government bears some responsibility for the financial well-being of its citizens. Though limited in scope at first—agricultural and domestic workers, for example, were excluded—the framework it established would evolve through amendments and court challenges over the following decades.The Social Security Act was challenged on constitutional grounds shortly after its passage, but the Supreme Court upheld its key provisions in Helvering v. Davis (1937), affirming Congress's power to spend for the general welfare. Over time, the Social Security program expanded to include disability insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid. While the structure and funding of these programs remain a subject of political debate, the 1935 Act remains one of the most enduring and significant pieces of social legislation in U.S. history.A Texas state court has appointed a receiver to take control of Alex Jones' company, Free Speech Systems LLC, the parent of his Infowars show, in an effort to collect on $1.3 billion in defamation judgments related to his false claims about the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. Judge Maya Guerra Gamble granted the request from families of victims in the Connecticut case, authorizing receiver Gregory S. Milligan to manage and potentially liquidate the company's assets. Another hearing is scheduled for September 16 to determine whether the Texas-based judgments should also be placed under receivership.Jones, who has been in personal bankruptcy since 2022, has been shielded from immediate collection on many of these judgments, but his company's Chapter 11 case was dismissed in 2024, giving a separate bankruptcy trustee limited control over its assets. The receiver now has authority, subject to that trustee's approval, to pursue the sale of Infowars' media assets, access financial records, and initiate legal actions to recover property.Attorneys for the Sandy Hook families hailed the order as a major step toward accountability. Meanwhile, Jones' legal team plans to appeal, arguing the court was misled about prior bankruptcy rulings. Jones is also seeking U.S. Supreme Court review of the Connecticut judgment, with a filing deadline set for September 5.Alex Jones' Infowars Assets to Be Taken Over by Receiver (1)A federal judge in Philadelphia struck down Trump administration rules that allowed employers to deny birth control coverage based on religious or moral objections. U.S. District Judge Wendy Beetlestone ruled that the 2018 exemptions were not justified and found a disconnect between the sweeping scope of the rules and the limited number of employers likely to need them. The ruling came in a case brought by Pennsylvania and New Jersey, which previously reached the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court upheld the rules on procedural grounds in 2020 but did not evaluate their substance.The Affordable Care Act mandates contraception coverage in employer health plans, with narrow exemptions for religious organizations. The Trump administration expanded this to a broader class of employers, arguing that even applying for exemptions could burden religious practice. Judge Beetlestone disagreed, saying the administration failed to show a rational link between the perceived issue and its response.The Biden administration had proposed reversing the Trump-era policy in 2023, but that effort stalled before Biden left office. The Little Sisters of the Poor, a Catholic group involved in defending the rules, plans to appeal the new decision. The Department of Justice has not yet commented on the ruling.US judge blocks Trump religious exemption to birth control coverage | ReutersPresident Trump revoked a 2021 executive order issued by then-President Joe Biden that aimed to promote competition across the U.S. economy. Biden's order targeted anti-competitive practices in sectors such as agriculture, healthcare, and labor, and was a key element of his economic agenda. It included efforts to reduce consumer costs by curbing monopolistic behavior and increasing oversight of mergers.Trump's administration criticized the Biden-era approach as overly restrictive and burdensome. The Justice Department, under Trump, endorsed the revocation, stating it would pursue an “America First Antitrust” strategy focused on market freedom and less regulatory interference. Officials also announced plans to streamline the Hart-Scott-Rodino merger review process and reinstate targeted consent decrees to address specific anti-competitive behavior.Critics argue the revocation will weaken protections for consumers and small businesses. A June 2025 report by advocacy groups estimated that dismantling consumer protection policies, including those from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, has cost Americans at least $18 billion through higher fees and lost compensation. Trump has also taken steps to drastically reduce the CFPB's workforce.Former Biden competition policy director Hannah Garden-Monheit condemned the move, claiming it contradicts Trump's promise to support everyday Americans and instead benefits large corporations.Trump revokes Biden-era order on competition, White House says | ReutersA federal judge in Texas dismissed a lawsuit filed by video-sharing platform Rumble, which had accused major advertisers—Diageo, WPP, and the World Federation of Advertisers—of conspiring to boycott the platform by withholding ad spending. U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle ruled that the Northern District of Texas was not the appropriate venue for the case, as the defendants are based in the UK and Belgium. Her decision did not address the substance of Rumble's antitrust claims.Rumble's lawsuit alleged that the advertisers participated in a “brand-safety” initiative through the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, which it claims was used to pressure platforms like Rumble—known for minimal content moderation—into compliance or risk being excluded from ad budgets. The defendants countered that business decisions not to advertise on Rumble were based on brand protection and had nothing to do with collusion or a boycott.Judge Boyle noted it remains an "open question" whether the Texas court is the right venue for a similar lawsuit brought by Elon Musk's social media platform X, which is also pending. The advertisers argued Rumble's legal action was a misuse of antitrust laws intended to force companies to do business with it.US judge tosses Rumble lawsuit claiming advertising boycott | ReutersA federal appeals court ruled in favor of President Donald Trump, allowing him to halt billions in foreign aid payments that had been previously approved by Congress. In a 2-1 decision, the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals lifted an injunction issued by a lower court that had ordered the administration to resume nearly $2 billion in aid. The aid freeze was initiated on January 20, 2025—Trump's first day of his second term—through an executive order and followed by significant staffing and structural changes to USAID, the government's main foreign aid agency.The lawsuit challenging the freeze was brought by two nonprofit organizations that depend on federal funding: the AIDS Vaccine Advocacy Coalition and Journalism Development Network. The appeals court, however, ruled that the groups lacked legal standing to challenge the freeze and that only the Government Accountability Office, a congressional watchdog, had authority to do so.Judge Karen Henderson, writing for the majority, explicitly stated the court was not deciding whether Trump's actions violated the Constitution's separation of powers or Congress's control over federal spending. In a sharp dissent, Judge Florence Pan argued the decision undermined the Constitution's checks and balances and enabled unlawful executive overreach.A White House spokesperson praised the ruling, framing it as a victory against "radical left" interference and a step toward aligning foreign aid spending with Trump's "America First" agenda.US appeals court lets Trump cut billions in foreign aid | Reuters This is a public episode.

From Disney to Microsoft, via Vodafone and Virgin Media, Cindy Rose has been a top executive at some of the world's best known companies. Born and raised in the US, one of her early passions was figure skating – a sport she confessed left her covered in bumps and bruises.

Her time at Disney included a shift dressed as Mickey Mouse's loyal hound, Pluto, welcoming guests to the Californian theme park. Now she's set to become the new CEO of the troubled FTSE ad giant, WPP – where her experience in tech and AI look set to be an asset. Stephen Smith talks to friends and colleagues to find out how Cindy Rose made it from law to leadership – and the challenges she faces as head of one of the world's biggest advertising groups.

In this week's episode of The Refresh (July 7, 2025), Kait breaks down the top stories reshaping advertising and media. Apple's massive push into theatrical releases hits a milestone with F1, raising questions about the long game for Apple's entertainment ambitions. Meanwhile, Google launches OfferWall, a monetization tool built for the post-cookie, AI-dominated internet. And on Wall Street, Barclays delivers a sobering forecast for holding companies despite their AI investments. It's a week that highlights how media, monetization, and market pressure are colliding across the ecosystem. 5 Key Highlights:  Apple's F1 film makes a strong debut, grossing $144 million globally in its opening weekend, but with production and marketing costs over $375 million, profitability is still uncertain. Apple's aggressive marketing strategy for F1 leveraged its entire ecosystem—from WWDC tie-ins and haptic trailers to in-phone ticket discounts via Apple Wallet—sparking debate over consumer boundaries.  Google launches OfferWall, a new feature within Google Ad Manager allowing users to unlock premium content through ads, surveys, payments, or newsletter opt-ins, aiming to help publishers recover lost revenue in the AI-search era.  OfferWall signals a move toward an incentivized internet, where users explicitly trade data, time, or small payments for content, though infrastructure and behavioral shifts are still major hurdles. • Barclays downgrades major ad holding companies (IPG, Omnicom, WPP), citing slow growth and AI disruption to traditional business models—but notes their current AI product launches and scale could pay off long-term.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Discovery's strategic split to Mark Read's departure from WPP, and a flurry of pre-Cannes product rollouts, this episode highlights how the future of media, agency relevance, and AI-powered innovation are all colliding in real time.  - Warner Bros.

فربد صادقیان، یکی از چهره‌های پشت‌پرده‌ی تبلیغات دیجیتال ایران بود؛ کسی که با Anetwork شروع کرد، با PPG یه هولدینگ رسانه‌ای ساخت، و نقش مهمی توی شکل‌گیری اکوسیستم استارتاپی ایران ایفا کرد. تو دوران طلایی سرمایه‌گذاری سراوا، فربد با برندهای بزرگی مثل عدد، ادرو و اخبار رسمی کار کرد، با WPP قرارداد انحصاری بست و سال‌ها توی خط اول جنگ تبلیغات آنلاین ایستاد. بعدها اما همه‌چی عوض شد؛ فشارها، شایعه‌ها، و سیاست‌هایی که از درون ساختارها رو ترکوند، باعث شد از ایران بره. حالا تو دبی، با «TheBlock» مشغول ساخت یه اکوسیستم جدید برای توکنایز کردن دارایی‌های واقعی مثل هتل، تیم فوتبال یا حتی آثار هنریه.توی این قسمت، برگشتیم به سال‌هایی که هممون فکر می‌کردیم داریم آینده رو می‌سازیم. از جلسه‌های عجیب با سرمایه‌گذار، دعواهای پنهونی بین پارتنرها، شایعات بی‌پایه و سیاست‌هایی گفتیم که خیلی چیزا رو خراب کرد. فربد بی‌پرده از تجربه‌هاش گفت: از اشتباهات مدیریتی، ضعف در ارتباط با هم‌تیمی‌ها، و درسی که از همه‌ی اون شکست‌ها گرفت. بعد، رفتیم سراغ پروژه‌ی جدیدش؛ اینکه چطور میشه به‌جای پترئون و دونیت، یه مدل سرمایه‌گذاری واقعی برای کامیونیتی ساخت. مدلی که شاید فردای طبقه ۱۶ رو هم شکل بده.00:00 – پیشگفتار01:38 – شروع و معرفی فربد صادقیان04:53 – روزهای اول Anetwork و ساختن اکوسیستم تبلیغات دیجیتال14:08 – تجربه کار با سراوا، ساخت PPG و ورود WPP به ایران24:24 – چالش‌های درونی تیم‌ها، شایعات و سیاست‌های پشت‌پرده33:58 – اشتباهات مدیریتی و ضعف در ارتباط بین پارتنرها43:48 – چرا تصمیم گرفت از ایران بره و چطور اون دوره رو پشت سر گذاشت50:28 – مهاجرت به اتریش و بعد دبی؛ شروع دوباره با ذهنیت تازه59:48 – ساخت TheBlock و آینده‌ی دارایی‌های توکن‌شده1:09:48 – توکنایز کردن استارتاپ‌ها، استودیوها و ایده‌های کامیونیتی1:17:48 – جمع‌بندی، درسی که از گذشته گرفت و نگاهش به آیندهFarbod Sadeghian was one of the behind-the-scenes figures in shaping Iran's digital advertising industry. He started with Anetwork, then went on to build PPG—a media holding that brought together major players like Adad, Adro, and Akhbar Rasmi. During the golden era of Sarava's investments, Farbod worked with some of the biggest brands, signed an exclusive deal with WPP, and stood at the frontlines of the digital advertising boom in Iran. But things shifted—internal politics, pressure, and rumors gradually dismantled the system. He eventually left Iran, and today, from Dubai, he's building “TheBlock”—an ecosystem for tokenizing real-world assets like hotels, football clubs, and even art.In this episode, we revisited those chaotic, ambitious years where we all thought we were building the future. We talked about strange meetings with investors, backdoor conflicts, and the cracks that broke strong brands from within. Farbod opened up about leadership mistakes, communication breakdowns, and the hard-earned lessons that came out of it all. Then we explored his new chapter—how he's rethinking community-driven ownership and investment, and what that could mean for the future of Tabaghe 16.Sponsorحامی این قسمت، لیموهاسته. یه سرویس قابل‌اعتماد برای هاست، سرور و دامنه که خیلی از استارتاپ‌ها و کسب‌وکارهای آنلاین ایرانی ازش استفاده می‌کنن.

Group M, the world's largest media buying group, has undergone a titanic course correction and "simplification", re-emerging as WPP Media. While the destination "makes sense", according to Campaign's editor-in-chief Gideon Spanier, the reorganisation is coming at a huge cost to those that work there.In February this year, The Campaign Podcast asked 'What is Group M?' and in the three months since, the group has merged agency brands into a single P&L, got rid of agency specific jobs titles and begun making roles redundant around the world. More recently, WPP's chief executive Mark Read announced on Monday (9 June) he was stepping down.In this episode, Campaign's editorial team ask a simple question and dig deeper into why WPP has made the change, what will happen to the individual agencies within it, and whether it really is "simpler".Tech editor Lucy Shelley hosts the episode which features Spanier alongside media editor Beau Jackson and deputy media editor Shauna Lewis.Further reading:‘Something's gone horribly wrong': new chair faces calls to ‘fix' WPP at AGMWPP launches data solution Open Intelligence'We know that we have to be simpler': Brian Lesser lays out Group M plansGroup M axes global agency CEO roles in major centralisation push Hosted on Acast.
