Social media giant Meta has agreed to a $18bn (£13.3bn) settlement with US states and territories to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harmed children.
A California judge approved the settlement, which Meta must pay to 48 states, plus the District of Columbia and three US territories, marking the company’s largest payment over child safety litigation to date.
Meta will also implement a host of changes aimed at better protecting kids online, which the states had demanded, including default daily time limits and night-time blocks.
Meta has denied any wrongdoing as part of the settlement and said on Wednesday that the payment it agreed to “will be distributed in annual instalments over a 10-year period”.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham has told the BBC that PC Andrew Harper’s killers will remain behind bars as he announces changes to the early release scheme aimed at easing prison overcrowding.
In an exclusive interview with BBC Breakfast, Burnham said anyone convicted of manslaughter will be excluded from changes brought in under the Sentencing Act, which would have made the killers eligible for early release.
Burnham said extra prison spaces would be created by deporting “hundreds” of foreign prisoners and releasing some inmates serving indefinite sentences.

False. All Elections are Selections. All WEF Puppets. I didn’t realize until now. I’m 24. Why would they let us decide who gets elected? The WEF Puppets are selected regardless. All Puppets of 🇮🇱

I am an American and I love the US, I am extremely critical of it and its dumb ass people, and its useless mass consumption. But I cannot imagine a world without the US leading it. I just don't wanna live in that world.
This next election is sad, because we have dinosaur Biden who can barely walk, and dinosaur Trump who in two years or so won't be able to walk either I mean, is that all we got?

It amazes me when people try to explain the Electoral College to choose the President and Vice President, because they are totally Wrong!!! The electoral college is a civil war era creation, I would say it started somewhere between 1825 to 1850, because before then each state had electors that voted, however, Jefferson did corrupt the system, not with the 12th amendment, but during the 4th election cycle when he was the Vice President when he orchestrated the tie with Burr, which only could have happened if he tampered with the electors and their votes to place his name on one of their two ballots and Burr’s name on their other ballot, skullduggery which should have been caught by, the President of the Senate, and who was the President of the Senate, Jefferson!
The electoral process for choosing the President and Vice President is consensus choice, where those making the choice, the States, must also identify and rank the candidates, and that’s the job of the electors, the electors make a list of qualified candidates that they identified and vetted themselves, then the States lists are compiled in congress to form an aggregate ranked list of candidates and the top candidates on that aggregate ranked list, top 3 on the aggregate list for President and top 2 on the aggregate list for vice president, form the ballots of candidates that the States in congress consider and make the choice by vote, 1 vote per State, and a majority of all the States is necessary to the choice.
How we got to the totally bastardized system where the electors are superfluous to the process is beyond my ability to comprehend, but it mainly transitioned into a way for the parties to guarantee that they would raise one of their own to the presidency by controlling the ballot, which is in direct opposition to the constitutionally established process for that purpose!

But who choo the electors for the electoral college
@cardenfoy
December 24, 2023 at 8:20 am
The number of electors is determined by the number of house reps, which is not fixed, plus senators, which is based on the number of states, meaning the smaller the state the more their votes count against larger states.
