Hold Facebook accountable for scams, hoaxes

<p>Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg's decision to fire his fact-checking team has opened the floodgates to a deluge of scams, hate speech, propaganda and lies. I first discovered how the platform used by 3.2 billion people was being misused when I started sub-editing at the Post in 2017. Every news story about the plight of the Rohingya was followed -- in seconds -- by dozens of crude memes and copy-and-paste hate speech in comments demonising the stateless people as usurpers, animals and even cannibals. The campaign was later linked to propaganda farms run by Myanmar's Tatmadaw military.</p>

What former President #Trump's conviction means, is that even a former #President isn't above the laws of the United States, and he can be held #criminally #liable for the #crimes he has committed.

This isn't a very high standard we are holding the former President to. As a matter of fact, it's the same standard we hold all people to. If the #Republicans cannot understand that, it's their fucking problem. Deal with it in an adult way, please.

2/ “Asked if he was comfortable with states #criminally charging #women who obtain #abortions after the law allows, he very notably did not say “no” but rather: “It’s #irrelevant whether I’m comfortable or not. It’s totally irrelevant, because the #states are going to make those decisions.” (As Time notes, President Joe Biden “has said he would fight state antiabortion measures in court and with regulation.”)
#Trump has tried to cast himself as a #moderate on reproductive rights…”

The Supreme Court's no-win situation and the healthy liberalism we need.

@lowies @gemelliz @Alexandros2112 The #Criminally,CorruptFordGovernment underspent the healthcare budget by $1.7-billion in 2022-23, the watchdog says, even as rural and small-town hospitals struggled with staff shortages that forced some emergency rooms to close. And to further the hardship they’ve created, the #CriminallyCorruptForGovernment is allocating $21B less to fund health care in the new year. #CdnMedia oh look, PMjT holiday.

Ohio woman who miscarried at home will not be criminally charged, grand jury says

An Ohio woman was not indicted by a grand jury Thursday on a felony charge after she miscarried at home, in a case that has drawn international attention and fears among reproductive rights experts who see it as a dangerous precedent in post-Roe America.

At one point, Judge Florence Pan presented Sauer w/a hypothetical situation, asking if a president could be #criminally charged for ordering SEAL Team 6 to #assassinate a #political rival. Sauer said that a #prosecution would be possible in that situation only if the president had first been found #guilty in an #impeachment proceeding.
