2021-11-20 08:01:37 Facebook warns LAPD to stop SNOOPING on users through FAKE accounts

Facebook has written to the LAPD demanding their officers stop setting up fake accounts to spy on people after documents revealed the force encourages the method of “online investigative activity.”

Australian lawful surveillance expert Robert Potter claimed it was the pot calling the kettle black, given the platform’s lack of urgency over policing political ads and effects on children.

"You're not special if you run a social media platform,” he said. “If there's not a rule saying you can't have an undercover cop in a church, why should a social media platform be any different?"

2021-11-20 07:01:25 Divorced Parents' Vax Contention for Kids - Court Cases Spiral

It seems some parents are struggling to see eye-to-eye on children and vaccinations, becoming a serious point of contention for those separated.

One case reported in Today, a Washington State mother wants her three children jabbed... but her ex-husband is against it for their 5, 8 and 9-year-old.

"He doesn't agree that the children should be getting it without years of research proving that it works and that it's not going to kill our children," Jillian told TODAY Parents (we are withholding the last names of the parents in this article to protect their children's privacy). "We have talked about it two or three times, because we knew it was going to be something we'd eventually have to decide, but his mindset is that even if the kids caught Covid they'd be fine, so why get a shot to prevent it?"

A lawyer told the outlet there's been a "significant rise" in such cases.

2021-11-20 04:00:41 Outgoing NIH boss wants purveyors of ‘false’ Covid information “brought to justice”

Francis Collins versus free speech? The National Institutes of Health chief claims, "Conspiracies are winning here,” in relation to so-called Covid misinformation.

“Somebody’s Facebook post carries as much weight as a statement from the director of the CDC about what is the truth of a public health crisis,” Collins told WaPo.

“Truth is supposed to be truth,” Collins said, “and the fact that your truth would be so heavily modified by your social circle or where you get your news tells you we’re in real trouble.”

How many times has Fauci changed his tune?

Judiciary Committee Chair Jerry Nadler is calling on the DOJ to review the Kyle Rittenhouse shootings for potential federal charges.

Rittenhouse was found NOT GUILTY on all charges in what some are calling a victory for the second amendment.

2021-11-20 02:27:24 GoFundMe trends on Twitter as site attempts to clear up Rittenhouse position

GoFundme made headlines when it suspended fundraisers for Kyle Rittenhouse's defense - explaining that it basically makes someone "guilty until proven innocent" with violent crimes.

2021-11-20 02:15:05 Queen Elizabeth set to enter “new phase” – Monarch may lie low till Feb as health fears persist (Reports)

Queen Elizabeth II might stay out of the public eye until February, according to experts after a sprained back saw her miss the Remembrance Sunday service, and pull out of the COP26 summit reception. (Daily Express)

Eagle-eyed royal watchers have noticed the Queen's hands appearing to look distinctly purple in recent photos and noticeably in a face-to-face audience at Windsor Castle with General Sir Nick Carter this week.

Health expert Dr Jay Verma of the Shakespeare Medical Centre told the Metro: “It might be Raynaud’s phenomenon or just really cold hands. The purple is due to deoxygenated blood.”

The Queen has not been seen at in-person event in more than a month since she hosted a reception for the global investment summit at Windsor on Oct. 19.
