Calvoni Et Al V. Instagram, Llc Et Al

A lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Instagram LLC, Meta Platforms, Inc. (formerly known as Facebook, Inc.), and Mark Zuckerberg. The lawsuit alleges that Instagram's product design, intentionally made addictive, and Meta's engagement-driven business model have created a public health crisis for pre-teen and teenage girls. The lawsuit seeks damages and a jury trial. The lawsuit claims that Instagram's algorithmic curation of content has led to a proliferation of harmful content for children, including content that promotes unrealistic beauty standards, disordered eating, and self-harm. Additionally, the lawsuit alleges that Instagram intentionally built features into its code based on principles of behavioral psychology that its employees learned at the Persuasive Technology Lab at Stanford, and that minors are particularly susceptible to these techniques.

United States of America v. Robert Hunter Biden

Summary: Hunter Biden is currently embroiled in a lawsuit, accused of purchasing a Colt Cobra revolver in October 2018 while allegedly using illegal substances. Despite denying drug use on the necessary paperwork, if found guilty, he could face a maximum of 25 years in prison along with substantial fines. Biden's defense team contends that the charges are politically driven, asserting that Biden's temporary possession of an unloaded firearm did not constitute a public safety risk. They intend to contest the charges, leveraging an agreement with the prosecution, recent federal court decisions, and potential Second Amendment defenses. This case could potentially ignite wider discussions about Second Amendment rights, especially as the Supreme Court is poised to deliberate on a related issue concerning gun ownership for individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders. Opinions are divided among political and legislative figures, with some speculating that advocates of the Second Amendment might oppose the law that prohibits gun ownership for drug users.
