[ad_1] It started with “adult content” in the UK and US, and social media bans for children in Australia, France…and many others. The UK just passed their own social media ban, and we know they’re not done yet. Technology Secretary Liz Kendall has promised to “revisit” Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) in July, with a potential ban on the table. The US is hovering toward a federal social media ban as well.

Ron DeSantis offered a candid real-time reaction to the Supreme Court’s decision on birthright citizenship during a speech at “The Villages” on Tuesday.He said a big part of the ultimate outcome will depend on the ruling’s scope– did they block Trump’s action procedurally because it was done by executive order or are they ruling on the 14th Amendment itself?”If they said that there’s nothing you can do short of a constitutional amendment to limit, then that’s going to be a really devastating decision,” he said, which turns out to be the correct read. He followed up on…
