Public officials can be held liable for blocking critics on social media

>The Supreme Court on Friday ruled that public officials who post about topics relating to their work on their personal social media accounts are acting on behalf of the government, and therefore can be held liable for violating the First Amendment when they block their critics, only when they have the power to speak on behalf of the state and are actually exercising that power.

BRICS: Russia Signs Law To Use Digital Assets For Trade

BRICS member Russia is using all methods to bypass the US sanctions to keep its economy afloat. In the latest advancement to safeguard its economy, BRICS country Russia has officially signed a law to use digital assets for trade settlements. Digital Financial Assets (DFAs) will be used to settle cross-border transactions and currencies like the US dollar will not be incorporated. While the US is trying to limit Russia’s growth through sanctions, Russia in turn is dampening the US dollar’s prospects.

The BRICS bloc is using all means to cut ties with the US dollar and protect their local currencies and native economies. The usage of digital financial assets is among the new advancements used by BRICS to challenge the US dollar’s hegemony. Read here to know how many sectors in the US will be affected if BRICS ditches the dollar for trade.

Russian lawmakers approved the draft legislation that allows digital financial assets to be used as global trade settlements. Moreover, the US cannot stop the flow of digital assets as it did to stop the country from accepting the dollar. The move also gives Russia and BRICS a freewill, making the country bypass US sanctions to support its native economies.

“Today, all settlements between our organizations and foreign ones (BRICS) go through the banking system. And accordingly, these settlements and interactions are visible, including to our enemies,” said Anatoly Aksakov, Head of the Financial Committee in Russia’s Lower House of Parliament, the State Duma to Reuters.
