In a show of bipartisanship outrage at a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing‚ Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin and Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham castigated the CEOs of Big Tech companies for their failure to protect children online. Durbin‚ D-Ill.‚ the panel’s chairman‚ didn’t hold back. At the Jan. 31 hearing‚ he alleged that the CEOs of Meta (parent company of  Facebook and Instagram)‚ TikTok‚ Snapchat‚ Discord and X (formerly Twitter) are in a “constant pursuit of profit over basic safety that puts our kids at risk.” He went on to warn that “social media and messaging apps have given predators powerful new tools to sexually exploit children.” The Department of Justice defines child sexual abuse material as “sexually explicit images or videos of a child’s abuse‚ rape‚ molestation and/or exploitation.” It’s already a scourge‚ but with artificial intelligence‚ it’s now easier than ever to mass produce. For a long time‚ the creation and distribution of such material relied on perverse adults‚ sophisticated technology and loose social media platform regulations to distribute. Now‚ however‚ a new culprit has emerged: other children. After years of accessing sexually explicit material‚ minors have begun to use artificial intelligence tools to create pornographic “deepfakes” of their peers and classmates. This disturbing development—children sexually exploiting other children—has been enabled by social media platforms and by easy access to pornographic websites. That’s just what many state and federal laws are designed to prevent. These AI-generated photos and videos‚ dubbed “deepfakes‚” can be produced in a matter of minutes on a multitude of apps and websites. The technology is simple. Anyone can use “face swap” on ready-to-use apps‚ such as DeepSwap and FaceSwapper‚ to place someone else’s likeness in a sexually explicit photo or video. According to an NBC review‚ websites that host deepfake sexual material are easily accessible through Google. What’s worse‚ deepfake websites known for hosting pornographic content run advertisements on messaging apps used by children‚ such as Discord. With the click of a few buttons‚ children can find themselves viewing‚ and later creating‚ deepfake pornography. Over the past several years‚ countless women have been the victims of deepfake pornography. Exploited women range from students to celebrities‚ including Taylor Swift. Heartbreaking stories have emerged of male students using this technology to bully female classmates‚ or perhaps just entertain their friends. The results can be deadly. Mia Janin‚ a 14-year-old British schoolgirl‚ was humiliated when she found her face pasted onto the body of another female. The unknown woman—a victim herself—was engaging in sexually explicit acts. To the casual onlooker‚ however‚ it looked like Mia herself was. Male classmates used AI applications to create sexual abuse material of Mia that they circulated around the school using Snapchat. Unable to bear the subsequent bullying‚ Mia took her own life. In another example‚ 14-year-old New Jersey student Francesca Mani found herself in the same situation. Male classmates used an AI photo-editing app—available on Apple and Google app stores—to generate pictures of nude women with Francesca’s face on it. The photos were distributed among minors using social media platforms and unfiltered access to smartphone app stores. In a report by Home Security Heroes on the “2023 State of Deepfakes‚” online deepfakes increased by 550% from 2019 to 2023‚ and in the past year‚ 98% of deepfake videos were found to be pornographic. Without legal restrictions‚ these numbers will only continue to rise. Children are imitators by nature‚ and they are particularly susceptible to the influence of online social media accounts. Kids naturally imitate the men and women in their life‚ beginning with their own father and mother‚ to learn what it means to be a good person. That’s a feature‚ not a bug‚ in a child’s development‚  but it can be hijacked by bad actors‚ including social media platforms. When children stumble upon sexually explicit material‚ and even learn to crave it‚ we should not be surprised to see them imitate it through their actions or AI creations. The responsibility lies first with parents to play an active role monitoring who and what their child can access online. But it doesn’t end there. The pervasive nature of these online tools requires legislators and social media platforms who are also committed to ensuring that children are protected online. As Graham‚ R-S.C.‚ the committee’s ranking member‚ said at the hearing‚ “These companies must be reined in‚ or the worst is yet to come.” Unfortunately‚ for families like Mia’s‚ it already has. Congress and parents must unite in their effort to protect children from the corrosive influence of AI-generated child sexual abuse material. Have an opinion about this article?

Louise and George Dennis of Dothan‚ AL met as children‚ and have been married since February 4th‚ 1944‚ which means they just celebrated their 80th anniversary. RELATED: Boyfriend Gets Help With His Marriage Proposal From His Girlfriend's 90-Year-Old Grandma The Couple Married 80 Years Eloped As Teenagers George‚ 98‚ says‚ ‘I met her when I saw her at her grandmother’s. I was delivering the paper.” After that‚ the two were inseparable. When they were both in high school‚ they eloped‚ much to their family’s dismay. George explains‚ "I said‚ ‘Well‚ we went off and got married.’ Oh‚ you could have heard her [Louise's mother] scream clean from Dothan." Eventually‚ the families did come around. Life Was Filled With Challenges Just a couple of months after they were married‚ George was drafted into World War II. He was badly injured after tripping over a landmine and ended up losing part of his leg. Louise‚ 95‚ says of that time‚ “For 126 months‚ it was a time filled with surgery and healing.” In 1952 they adopted a little girl‚ Crystal‚ however‚ she passed away a few years later due to an accident with a horse. Louise commented‚ “You never ever get over the loss of a child but the Lord himself is walking with you and he walks you through it.” RELATED: Sweetest Man Makes Sure To Include His Fiancé’s Sister In The Proposal That is the truth of life right there. Life isn’t without pain and sadness. Hard days will come. But the Lord will walk through it with us. The couple then opened up the Persian Gallery‚ an antique rug business that was open for over 40 years. They never did have another child‚ however‚ they always have a handful of young people in their home who they consider their surrogate children. What Was Their Secret? As a couple who was married 80 years‚ Louise and George were asked what their secret was. Their response? The faith that has guided them. George then adds‚ “Tell the husbands to say yes dear” and Lousie comments‚ “And he did say ‘yes dear’ when it pleased him to do so.” George responds with a smile on his face‚ “Louise‚ you didn’t have to say all that.” They celebrated the big anniversary with family and friends from First Baptist church. We wish them a happy anniversary and thank them for offering such great advice about marriage.

The Guardian shares more: A friend of Fulton county district attorney Fani Willis testified just earlier in the Georgia hearing in the criminal election interference case against Donald Trump and co-defendants. A former Fulton county district attorney’s office employee‚ Robin Yeartie‚ testified that Willis’s personal relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade began before he was hired in the election interference case against Trump‚ the Associated Press reports. Yeartie’s testimony directly contradicts Willis’s statement that her personal relationship with Wade didn’t begin until after Wade was hired as special prosecutor in the case against Trump and others. Willis hired outside lawyer Wade to help investigate whether Trump and his allies committed any crimes while trying to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state. Wade has led the team prosecuting the case since an indictment was returned last August. Willis’ removal would be a stunning development in the most sprawling of the four criminal cases against Trump. An additional delay would likely lessen the chance that a trial would be held before the November election. He is currently the frontrunner to win the Republican nomination for president. More evidence has been presented against Fani Willis during this case.

District Attorney Fani Willis (D) testified Thursday that Willis began a “romantic” relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade in 2019 — three years prior to when Willis and Wade said they started seeing each other. Robin Yeartie‚ a college friend of Willis’s‚ said the prosecutors’ relationship began shortly after a municipal court conference in October 2019 and remained constant until she stopped speaking with Willis in 2022. “You have no doubt that their romantic relationship was in effect from 2019 until the last time you spoke with her?” defense lawyer Ashleigh Merchant asked. “No doubt‚” Yeartie replied. Yeartie testified that she last spoke with Willis in March 2022‚ after leaving the Fulton County district attorney’s office due to a “situation” in which she was told she could resign or be fired. The incident ended her friendship with Willis‚ she said. The testimony is in direct conflict with what Willis and Wade represented in court filings. Wade said in a sworn affidavit that their relationship began in 2022. Yeartie’s account suggests Willis and Wade began seeing each other romantically before Willis hired Wade to investigate Trump. Defense attorneys say that the Fulton County district attorney has benefited from Wade’s employment. NATIONAL POLL: Should Fani Willis Be Disbarred? This is fantastic news for President Trump. It highlights the fact that Democrats are willing to use unlawful lawfare against President Trump ahead of the 2024 Presidential election.

Fani Willis is currently undergoing a misconduct trial after it was revealed of her inappropriate relationship with special prosecutor Nathan Wade. The lovers originally stated that their relationship did not begin until after 2022. However‚ new evidence points to the relationship starting back in 2019.

The testimony came out as defense lawyer Ashleigh Merchant grilled Wade about when the pair’s tryst began and details about the affair. Wade maintained that he and the DA didn’t start dating until 2022 — contradicting testimony from a prior witness‚ an ex-friend of Willis‚ that the affair began in 2019. “When did your romantic relationship with Ms. Willis begin?” Merchant asked. “Early 2022‚” Wade said. “Around March.” Wade also insisted‚ “I never purchased a gift for Ms. Willis.” He added that she repaid him in cash for her share of the vacations they went on together. “She reimbursed you?” Merchant asked. “She did‚ it was cash‚” Wade said. “She didn’t give me any checks.” Merchant‚ a lawyer for Trump co-defendant Mike Roman‚ has claimed that Willis improperly financially benefited from Wade’s appointment as special prosecutor‚ after he treated her to vacations. Wade said the pair first met at a legal conference in October 2019. They exchanged a few phone calls that year and their calls increased in 2020 and 2021. “She would call me asking for advice‚” Wade said. The revelation that Fani Willis completely reimbursed Nathan Wade in cash for his vacations is insane. The judge should issue a guilty verdict immediately!

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has proposed legislation that aims for harsher penalties for individuals convicted of retail crime in the Sunshine State. DeSantis said at a Tuesday press conference he wants to have severe enough penalties to deter people from committing retail theft and porch piracy in the future. “You should not have to get five thefts to make a felony‚” DeSantis commented. “In Florida‚ we believe in being a law-and-order state. We are holding criminals accountable – whether it’s enacting swift penalties for fentanyl dealers‚ making sure our state attorneys are actually enforcing the law‚ rejecting bail reform‚ or even something as common-sense as enacting the death penalty for pedophiles‚” DeSantis wrote on X.

A first-degree felony in Florida is punishable by up to 30 years in prison and/or fines of up to $10‚000. He also wants to make it a second-degree felony if criminals use social media to solicit others to participate in retail theft‚ while it will be a third-degree felony to commit retail theft with five or more individuals. A second-degree felony in Florida carries up to 15 years in prison and/or fines up to $10‚000‚ while a third-degree felony could jail criminals for up to five years and/or fines of up to $5‚000. His legislation will also tackle “porch piracy‚” the stealing of delivery packages from private properties‚ which will become a third-degree felony if the package is valued between $40 and $100. “Cities and states that have effectively legalized shoplifting have hurt their local businesses and created a culture of lawlessness that has harmed the quality of life. FL is a law &; order state‚ and I look forward to working with the legislature to crack down on retail theft‚” DeSantis wrote.
