Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, has issued a public apology for his years of antisemitic remarks and erratic behavior, attributing much of it to untreated bipolar disorder in a full-page advertisement in Monday's Wall Street Journal publication.

CNN’s Kaitlan Collins reported that Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino had been relieved of duty, and there were questions about his response to people accusing him of inaccurate comments about the death of Alex Pretti. Allegedly, the Commander had been locked out of his social accounts. It is not true. Never believe anything outright from […] The post Greg Bovino Was NOT Releived of Duty appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

France’s National Assembly on Monday backed legislation to ban children under 15 years old from social media on Monday, amid growing concerns about online bullying and mental health risks. The bill proposes banning under-15s from social networks and “social networking functionalities” embedded within broader platforms, and reflects rising public angst over the impact of social media on minors. Lawmakers voted 116 to 23 in favor of the bill. It now passes to the Senate before a final vote in the lower house. President Emmanuel Macron has pointed to social media as one factor to blame for violence among young people. He is urging France to follow Australia, whose world-first ban for under-16s on social media platforms including Facebook, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube came into force in December. Macron wants the ban in place in time for the start of the next academic year in September. “With this law, we are setting a clear boundary in society and saying social media is not harmless,” centrist lawmaker Laure Miller told the chamber as she presented the bill. “Our children are reading less, sleeping less, and comparing themselves to one another more,” she continued. “This is a battle for free minds.” Australia’s social media ban is being studied in countries including Britain, Denmark, Spain and Greece. The European Parliament has called for the European Union to set minimum ages for children to access social media, although it is up to member states to impose age limits. There is broad political and public support in France for curbing minors’ access to social media. Far-right lawmaker Thierry Perez said the bill responded to a “health emergency.” “Social media has allowed everyone to express themselves, but at what cost to our children?” Perez said. The French ban would require platforms to block access to young teenagers through age‑verification mechanisms compliant with European Union law. Enforcing such bans can be difficult. Australia’s government acknowledged the rollout of its ban would be bumpy after children claiming to be under 16 flooded the country’s social media feeds with messages gloating about their continued ability to access networks. The French legislation also extends an existing ban on smartphones in junior and middle schools to cover high schools. A Harris Interactive survey in 2024 showed 73% of the public supported a ban on social media access for under-15s. Teenagers on the streets of Paris were split in their views. Some said they acknowledged the dangers associated with social media. Others felt a ban was excessive.
