SCOTUS To Hear Social Media Ban Case For Sex Offenders

Description

On Friday, The U.S. Supreme Court agreed to decide if a North Carolina law banning convicted sex offenders from Facebook and other social media sites goes against the Constitution. The justices agreed to hear sex offender Lester Packingham's appeal of his conviction for violating the state law when he posted a message on Facebook. North Carolina law makes it a felony for people on the state's sex offender registry to access websites that can lead to interactions with minors.

  • How One Day Twitter Will Be Able To Make Trump Disappear

    US President Donald Trump's fondness for Twitter has forced the social media platform to create special rules for people just like him. According to Gizmodo, Twitter has a 'world leader' exemption that means that leader can post pretty much what he or she wants, without being banned. Instead of removing the post or banning the politician, Twitter slaps a warning on the post, saying it's in the public interest for the tweet to remain. However, Twitter says the exemption only lasts for the length of time the incumbent is holding office. So if Joe Biden wins the general election, Trump may fall from Twitter's good graces on January 21st, 2021.
