Australia’s Under-16 Social Media Ban: Epic Fail So Far – Kids vs. Government!

by

Dive into the chaotic first days of Australia’s under-16 social media ban! In this video, we break down how the ban is spectacularly failing, with kids easily bypassing restrictions using VPNs, fake ages, and even dog photos to fool AI checks. Prime Minister Albanese touts it as a win for families, but teens are mocking it online, calling it ineffective and pushing them to underground chats. We explore the government’s media tour, landmark light-ups in green and gold, and criticisms of overreach, including potential links to reduced online anonymity and new AFP task forces. Plus, reactions from politicians, experts, and pearl-clutching parents reporting their own kids. We also cover emerging High Court challenges from Reddit and others, questioning the law’s constitutionality drafted by former Chief Justice Robert French. Is this ban a genuine child protection measure or a step toward greater censorship and control? Stick around for a rant on online trolls and why intent matters more than tech feasibility.If you’re passionate about digital rights, politics, and legal breakdowns, hit like, subscribe, and turn on notifications for more rants and analyses.

Brand New SOCIAL MEDIA CENSORSHIP Bill Is Here!

by

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger strongly criticize a new bipartisan bill backed by AIPAC and the ADL, arguing that it would dangerously conflate anti-Zionism with antisemitism and suppress free speech critical of Israel.

Jimmy points out that the legislation would allow the government to impose daily fines of $5 million on social media platforms that fail to remove content deemed hateful, effectively criminalizing dissent and granting the state excessive control over online discourse. Dore accuses the ADL of hypocrisy and historical dishonesty, saying it frequently labels legitimate criticism of Israeli policy as antisemitic in order to silence opposition. He warns that the bill undermines First Amendment protections, equates political protest with terrorism, and reflects a broader campaign by powerful interests to quash public criticism of Israel’s actions.

“Princess Catherine Has Been BULLIED On Social Media” | Kinsey Schofield Defends Kate Middleton

by

The Princess of Wales beamed with joy as she joined the Trooping the Colour procession, marking her first public appearance since her cancer diagnosis.

Smiling and waving to the crowds, she left Buckingham Palace in a glass carriage, accompanied by her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

On Friday, Kate, 42, shared a heartfelt statement revealing her battle with an undisclosed form of cancer, stating she has both good and bad days as she undergoes “preventative chemotherapy.”

Acknowledging she’s “not out of the woods yet,” the Princess mentioned she’s resumed light duties and assists her children with their schoolwork whenever she feels up to it.

She expressed her excitement for King Charles’s official birthday parade, her first Royal Family appearance since Christmas Day.

Nick de Bois and Kinsey Schofield deliver the week’s royal roundup.

Robby Soave: Stanford Virality Project EXPOSED: TRUE Covid Info CENSORED on Social Media

by

“Robby Soave elaborates on a new information as part of the Twitter Files, which unveil additional censor campaign to restrict Covid-19-related content. #covid #freespeech #taibbi. According to the CDC, all COVID-19 vaccines currently available in the United States are effective at preventing COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can offer some protection from future illness, sometimes called “natural immunity,” but the level of protection people get from having COVID-19 may vary depending on how mild or severe their illness was, the time since their infection, and their age.

Getting a COVID-19 vaccination is also a safer way to build protection than getting sick with COVID-19. COVID-19 vaccination helps protect you by creating an antibody response without you having to experience sickness. Getting vaccinated yourself may also protect people around you, particularly people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19. Getting sick with COVID-19 can cause severe illness or death, and we can’t reliably predict who will have mild or severe illness. If you get sick, you can spread COVID-19 to others. You can also continue to have long-term health issues after COVID-19 infection.

While COVID-19 vaccines are effective, studies have shown some declines in vaccine effectiveness against infections over time, especially when the Delta variant was circulating widely.

The mRNA vaccines do not contain any live virus. Instead, they work by teaching our cells to make a harmless piece of a “spike protein,” which is found on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19. After making the protein piece, cells display it on their surface. Our immune system then recognizes that it does not belong there and responds to get rid of it. When an immune response begins, antibodies are produced, creating the same response that happens in a natural infection.

In contrast to mRNA vaccines, many other vaccines use a piece of, or weakened version of, the germ that the vaccine protects against. This is how the measles and flu vaccines work. When a weakened or small part of the virus is introduced to your body, you make antibodies to help protect against future infection.

Everyone ages 18 and older should get a booster shot either 6 months after their initial Pfizer or Moderna series, or 2 months after their initial Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen vaccine. People ages 16–17 may get a booster dose of Pfizer at least 6 months after their initial series of vaccines.

The CDC says A person is fully vaccinated two weeks after receiving all recommended doses in the primary series of their COVID-19 vaccination. A person is up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination if they have received all recommended doses in the primary series and one booster when eligible.

Getting a second booster is not necessary to be considered up to date at this time. A study by The Cleveland Clinic found that both previous infection and vaccination provide substantial protection against COVID-19. Vaccination of previously infected individuals does not provide additional protection against COVID-19 for several months, but after that provides significant protection at least against symptomatic COVID-19. “
