Friends are special people who are shoulders to cry on when times get tough. They give a word of encouragement when needed‚ and they are there to celebrate some of life's special moments and milestones. However‚ unfortunately‚ whether due to time or distance‚ some friendships can fade and cease to exist. But others are strong enough to withstand such hurdles‚ including four women who went to the same California high school in the 1950s. Despite the time that may have passed‚ four elderly women remain friends. They now live at the same retirement center. Friends Reunite After Years Apart In a clip posted on YouTube‚ the women reminisced about their high school days.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation banning social media accounts for children under the age of 14. The bill also requires 14 and 15-year-olds to obtain parental consent before accessing social media platforms. According to NBC News‚ the bill also directs social media companies to delete the existing accounts of users under 14 years of age. Florida will have one of the country's most restrictive social media bans for minors under a bill signed by Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday. https://t.co/BBwC6DFCZ5 — NEWSMAX (@NEWSMAX) March 26‚ 2024 Per NBC News: Companies that fail to do so could be sued on behalf of the child who creates an account on the platform. The minor could be awarded up to $10‚000 in damages‚ according to the bill. Companies found to be in violation of the law would also be liable for up to $50‚000 per violation‚ as well as attorney’s fees and court costs. “Ultimately‚ [we’re] trying to help parents navigate this very difficult terrain that we have now with raising kids‚ and so I appreciate the work that’s been put in‚” DeSantis said in remarks during the bill-signing ceremony. DeSantis previously vetoed a more restrictive version of the bill that would have banned social media accounts for kids under 16. That bill also required Florida residents to submit an ID or other identifying materials in order to join social media. “Today‚ Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 3‚ which prohibits children under the age of 14 from becoming social media account holders and allows 14- and 15-year-olds to become account holders with parental consent‚” Gov. DeSantis’s office said in a press release. “Social media harms children in a variety of ways‚” DeSantis said. “HB 3 gives parents a greater ability to protect their children. Thank you to Speaker Renner for delivering this landmark legislation‚” he added. “The internet has become a dark alley for our children where predators target them and dangerous social media leads to higher rates of depression‚ self-harm‚ and even suicide‚” said Florida House Speaker Paul Renner. “I am proud of the work of all our bill sponsors‚ Representatives Tyler Sirois‚ Fiona McFarland‚ Michele Rayner‚ Chase Tramont‚ and Toby Overdorf for delivering a legislative framework that prioritizes keeping our children safe. Thanks to Governor DeSantis’ signature‚ Florida leads the way in protecting children online as states across the country fight to address these dangers‚” he added. Cont. from the press release: Specifically‚ this bill: Prevents a minor who is younger than 14 years of age from becoming a social media account holder. Empowers parents to decide whether 14- and 15-year-olds can have a social media account. Protects the ability of Floridians to remain anonymous online. In addition to protecting children from the dangers of social media‚ HB 3 requires pornographic or sexually explicit websites to use age verification to prevent minors from accessing sites that are inappropriate for children.

Ron DeSantis signs social media restriction bill into law‚ with state leaders expecting a swiftly filed lawsuit from tech groups The law bans minors under 14 from making accounts on "addictive" platforms and mandates age verification for sites with "harmful" content pic.twitter.com/XFa5vww213 — Florida’s Voice (@FLVoiceNews) March 25‚ 2024 The Verge reports: The bill also requires many commercial apps and websites to verify their users’ ages — something that introduces a host of privacy concerns. But it does require websites to give users the option of “anonymous age verification‚” which is defined as verification by a third party that cannot retain identifying information after the task is complete. The requirement kicks in when a commercial site contains a “substantial portion of material harmful to minors‚” defined as more than a third of content on the site‚ which would clearly target porn sites in particular. Such sites must ensure users are 18 or older — though news sites are exempt from the requirement. Violations are also subject to an up to $50‚000 civil penalty each. Tech industry groups have already come out against the legislation. NetChoice — an association representing major social media platforms that’s already embroiled in a Supreme Court battle with the state over a separate social media law — said before HB 3 was signed that it “in effect will impose an ‘I.D. for the Internet’ on any Floridian who wants to use an online service—regardless of their age.”

A judge ruled Monday that preventing a Calgary woman with autism from obtaining medically-assisted suicide (MAID) would cause her irreparable harm. Justice Colin Feasby ordered an injunction stopping the woman from ending her life be lifted. The woman’s father previously asked a judge to block her doctor-assisted suicide. “Feasby said his decision will be stayed for 30 days so lawyers for the father of the woman‚ identified only as MV‚ can decide whether to file an appeal‚” the Calgary Herald reports.

Canadian court rules woman with autism can seek Trudeau-government assisted suicidehttps://t.co/vJdoL4dIkm — Libby Emmons (@libbyemmons) March 26‚ 2024 From the Calgary Herald: The Calgary Court of King’s Bench judge said he had to weigh the potential harm an injunction would cause the 27-year-old woman‚ who has autism‚ against the harm her parents would suffer if the injunction was lifted. “The harm to MV if an injunction is granted goes to the core of her being‚” Feasby said in his written ruling. “An injunction would deny MV the right to choose between living or dying with dignity. Further‚ an injunction would put MV in a position where she would be forced to choose between living a life she has decided is intolerable and ending her life without medical assistance. “This is a terrible choice that should not be forced on MV‚ as attempting to end her life without medical assistance would put her at increased risk of pain‚ suffering and lasting injury.” A 27-year-old Canadian woman with autism found two doctors willing to support her euthanasia. Her parents have gone to court to try to prevent it. Could you imagine what her parents are going through? Canada truly has become a hellish dystopia. h/t @Englebertus… pic.twitter.com/DUVhFeDoXP — Coddled affluent professional (@feelsdesperate) March 26‚ 2024 The Post Millennial noted: The judge said he could empathize with MV’s parents wanting to keep their daughter alive. However Trudeau Health Minister Mark Holland (L-Ajax) announced Monday that mental health will inevitably be a justification for granting euthanasia in Canada. “Is your intention to still move ahead with MAiD for mental illness‚ just within a longer timeframe?” a reporter asked. “That’s correct‚” Holland replied at a news conference. “There are people who have‚ for decades‚ been trapped in mental torture‚ being in a horrific situation where they have tried everything and exhausted all avenues and under their own recognisance are saying that they want access to MAID‚” he continued. A Calgary judge has issued a ruling that clears the way for a 27-year-old woman to receive medical assistance in dying (MAID) despite her father's attempts through the courts to prevent that from happening. https://t.co/ZXycpLDE4l — CBC News (@CBCNews) March 25‚ 2024 According to Feasby’s summary of her father’s position‚ he believes MV “is vulnerable and is not competent to make the decision to take her own life.” “He says that she is generally healthy and believes that her physical symptoms‚ to the extent that she has any‚ result from undiagnosed psychological conditions‚” CBC reports. The outlet said MV’s only known diagnoses described in court earlier this month are autism and ADHD. This woman’s only diagnoses are autism and ADHD. She has been approved for MAID in Canada. https://t.co/HgDmegpoCJ — Sara Luterman (@slooterman) March 26‚ 2024 A judge ruled that someone with autism can be killed through government MAiD. This country should be helping those diagnosed with developmental disabilities not killing them. Canada is broken.https://t.co/oZw6BRfHI5 — Dan Cameron (@dan_cameron99) March 25‚ 2024 CBC reports: On March 11‚ when M.V.’s lawyers asked the judge to set aside the interim injunction‚ W.V.’s counsel asked for the injunction to continue and for a judicial review to be ordered that would examine how the daughter obtained MAID approval. Currently‚ two doctors or nurse practitioners have to approve a patient for MAID. Feasby heard that two doctors were initially approached by M.V. One agreed to sign off on approving her for MAID‚ the other denied the application. A third “tie-breaker” doctor‚ as described by lawyers for Alberta Health Services‚ was then offered to M.V. Her father took issue with the third doctor who signed off on M.V.’s MAID approval “because he was not independent or objective.” At the March 11 hearing‚ Sarah Miller‚ counsel for the father‚ called the situation “a novel issue for Alberta” because the province operates a system where there is no appeal process and no means of reviewing a person’s MAID approval.
