On Friday‚ the U.S. Supreme Court warned public officials could get in trouble for blocking critics on social media. The case arose after James Freed created a private Facebook profile before 2008‚ later converting his profile to a public “page.” In 2014‚ Freed updated his Facebook page to note his new job as city manager of Port Huron‚ Michigan‚ but still posted about his personal life. He also posted information related to his job‚ responded to comments on his posts‚ and occasionally deleted comments that he considered “derogatory” or “stupid.” After the COVID–19 pandemic began‚ Freed posted personal and job-related posts related to it. Facebook user Kevin Lindke commented on some of Freed’s posts‚ saying he disagreed with the city’s COVID policies. At first‚ Freed deleted Lindke’s comments‚ and later blocked him from commenting. Lindke then sued‚ claiming Freed had violated his First Amendment rights and that he had the right to comment because the page was a public forum. The District Court ruled for Freed in Lindke v. Freed; the Sixth Circuit affirmed the decision. “[T]he Court warned that public officials face a high risk of liability when they operate a ‘mixed use’ social media page (i.e.‚ posting both public and private topics) and block people from that page‚” JDSupra.com noted. The Supreme Court vacated the judgment of the Sixth Circuit and remanded the case for further proceedings‚ writing‚ “A public official who prevents someone from commenting on the official’s social-media page engages in state action under §1983 only if the official both (1) possessed actual authority to speak on the State’s behalf on a particular matter‚ and (2) purported to exercise that authority when speaking in the relevant social-media posts.” The Court explained‚ “Section 1983 provides a cause of action against ‘[e]very person who‚ under color of any statute‚ ordinance‚ regulation‚ custom‚ or us- age‚ of any State’ deprives someone of a federal constitutional or statutory right. Section 1983’s ‘under color of” text makes clear that it is a provision designed as a protection against acts attributable to a State‚ not those of a private person.’” “The Sixth Circuit held that an official’s activity is state action if the ‘text of state law requires an officeholder to maintain a social-media account‚’ the official ‘use[s] . . . state re- sources’ or ‘government staff’ to run the account‚ or the ‘accoun[t] belong[s] to an office‚ rather than an individual officeholder.’ These situations‚ the Sixth Circuit explained‚ make an official’s social-media activity ‘fairly attributable’  to the State.”

Kate Middleton was reportedly spotted shopping near her home in Windsor on Saturday‚ looking “happy‚ relaxed and healthy” amid a slew of rumors following her surgery in January. The Princess of Wales was reportedly joined by her husband‚ Prince William‚ on an outing to the Windsor Farm Shop‚ about a mile from their Adelaide Cottage. This was her first public outing since undergoing abdominal surgery‚ as reported by the British tabloid‚ The Sun. However‚ the article did not name its sources or publish new photographs. “Kate [Middleton] was out shopping with William and she looked happy and she looked well‚” an unnamed onlooker told the outlet. “The kids weren’t with them but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.” The onlooker added‚ “After all the rumors that had been going round I was stunned to see them there.” According to The Sun‚ the royal couple spent Saturday morning watching their three children play sports. Speculation about Princess Kate’s health and whereabouts reached a fever pitch last week after Kensington Palace shared a family photo of Middleton and her children in honor of U.K. Mother’s Day. However‚ hours after it appeared in publications‚ the Associated Press issued a “kill notification” on the photo it said had been “manipulated.”  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP Later‚ the palace acknowledged the photo had been edited. A message from Middleton on X read‚ “Like many amateur photographers‚ I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day.” The palace has still refused to release the original photo. Middleton was last photographed in public at Christmastime.  In January‚ Kensington Palace released a statement saying that the Princess of Wales would remain in the hospital for up to two weeks before being released to continue her recovery at home. The statement said she would not return to royal public duties until after Easter.

British actress Elizabeth Hurley said she has no problem acting out steamy sex scenes in her son’s new movie. The 58-year-old appears in her 21-year-old son Damian’s directorial debut‚ a project called “Strictly Confidential.” The trailer shows Hurley’s character being seduced by a woman.  “The things that his script needed me to do weren’t necessarily things I’d always done in movies many times‚” the “Austin Powers” actress told Access during an interview. “But having [Damian] there meant that I felt safe and looked-after‚ and I knew in [post production] he’d look after me.” “So actually it’s kind of liberating to work with your family. I may do it again‚” she added. The actress said she had promised her son she’d star in his first movie and that he’d been experimenting with making short films since he was a young boy. Damian gushed about working with his mother on the project.  “I want to worship @ElizabethHurley1 who‚ during the making of my first ever short film back in 2010 (when I was 8) promised me she’d be in my first feature‚” he wrote on Instagram in December 2022. “True to her word‚ the minute this film was greenlit‚ Mama dropped everything and raced out to the beautiful Caribbean to help. Working together was a dream.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Damian Hurley (@damianhurley1) He continued: “This has genuinely been the most incredible experience‚ both professionally and personally. I’ve made lifelong friends and learnt many valuable lessons I’m so so proud of this film.” The mother/son duo have previously made headlines for their behavior with each other. In the past‚ Damian took photos of his mom posing in skimpy bathing suits‚ as she had done for him.
