Trump FTC Takes Action Against Pornhub Over Child Sexual Abuse Material.

 

President Donald J. Trump‘s Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced on Wednesday that it will join Utah in a settlement action and consent order against a number of adult content websites, including Pornhub and RedTube. The Utah Attorney General’s office and the FTC contend the websites “deceived users by doing little to block tens of thousands of videos and photos featuring child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and nonconsensual material (NCM) despite claiming that this content was ‘strictly prohibited.'”

 

“Pornhub’s operators turned a blind eye to the proliferation of videos depicting the sexual abuse of children on its sites so it could profit off this exploitation,” the FTC’s Director of the Bureau of Consumer Protection, Christopher Mufarrige, said in a statement. He continued: “Under the order we’re announcing today, Pornhub’s operators will be required to take concrete steps to block this harmful content and ensure that those who appear in videos on their sites are consenting adults.”

 

FTC Commissioner Melissa Holyoak accused the adult content websites of having “inflicted grave harm on children and nonconsenting adults by promoting and distributing truly horrific material online.” She added: “As today’s complaint and proposed order make clear, the FTC will use every tool in its arsenal to stop such outrageous conduct.”

 

The proposed settlement and consent order take direct action against Pornhub’s parent company, Aylo—formerly known as MindGeek—which operates more than 100 pornographic photo and video-streaming websites. Among Aylo’s largest pornographic website properties are Pornhub, YouPorn, and RedTube, which boast hundreds of millions of monthly visitors in the United States alone.

 

Utah and the FTC contend that Aylo “deceived users by claiming it has zero tolerance for CSAM and works to block CSAM and NCM on its sites by, among other things, taking prompt action when videos are flagged by users.” However, in reality, the company—according to Utah’s complaint—failed to take any concrete action to remove flagged content, ban uploaders of CSAM, or prevent the reupload of removed content.

 

The settlement action and consent order impose a $15 million federal fine against Aylo, which will be suspended if the company pays a lesser $5 million fine to Utah. Additionally, Aylo will be required to no longer misrepresent its policies regarding CSAM and NCM.

 

Other provisions include a requirement for Aylo to enact “a program to prevent the publication or dissemination of CSAM and NCM content,” a thorough verification system for those appearing in uploaded content, and to remove offending content uploaded prior to the “implementation of the CSAM and NCM prevention program.”

SEC and CFTC Team Up on Crypto Regulation to Strengthen U.S. Spot Markets

 

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) are joining forces to enhance oversight of digital assets. This partnership is designed to pave the way for expanded spot markets in the United States, enabling exchanges to introduce leveraged crypto products under a framework that prioritizes compliance and robust supervision.

 

The collaboration reflects a shift in approach under the current administration, aiming to unlock innovation in the crypto sector while safeguarding investors and maintaining market integrity. By aligning their jurisdictions, the agencies seek to address long-standing uncertainties that have hindered the growth of spot trading platforms for digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

 

Key elements of this joint effort include:

 

Clear Jurisdictional Guidelines: The SEC, which oversees securities including certain crypto tokens classified as investment contracts, and the CFTC, which regulates commodities and derivatives such as futures on virtual currencies, are working to delineate boundaries. This will help prevent overlaps and gaps in regulation, ensuring that spot markets—where assets are traded for immediate delivery—operate smoothly.

Support for Leveraged Products: Exchanges will be allowed to list leveraged digital products on registered platforms, provided they adhere to federal rules. This includes requirements for margin trading and financing, which must occur on designated contract markets (DCMs) to comply with the Commodity Exchange Act.

Investor Protection and Compliance Focus: Both agencies emphasize the need for strong anti-fraud measures, anti-money laundering protocols, and transparency. The CFTC’s authority over commodity spot markets for manipulation and fraud will complement the SEC’s investor protection mandate, creating a more unified regulatory environment.

This initiative builds on recent developments, such as the SEC’s “Project Crypto,” announced by Chair Paul Atkins, which aims to modernize securities laws and integrate blockchain technology into U.S. capital markets. Similarly, the CFTC’s “crypto sprint,” led by Acting Chair Caroline Pham, is accelerating the implementation of recommendations from the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets.

 

Industry experts view this as a positive signal for the crypto ecosystem, potentially attracting more institutional participation and fostering U.S. leadership in digital finance. However, stakeholders are encouraged to provide feedback on potential implications, including how non-security assets tied to investment contracts might be traded.

 

As the regulatory framework evolves, this SEC-CFTC alliance could mark a turning point, balancing innovation with oversight to boost confidence in U.S. spot crypto markets.

Democrat county commissioner arrested in 'massive' drug bust

 

The investigation spanned several years and multiple states, including Pennsylvania and New York.

ADemocrat commissioner in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, was one of nearly two dozen suspects arrested in connection with a "massive drug investigation" that spanned several years — and several states.

 

On Thursday, members of the Lehigh County Drug Task Force, with assistance from the Bethlehem Police Department and other agencies, arrested Commissioner Zach Cole-Borghi at Bethlehem City Hall, where he worked as an open records officer. Cole-Borghi was charged with possession of marijuana and possession with the intent to deliver a pound of marijuana. He paid $50,000 bond and was released.

 

'A wide-ranging conspiracy.'

 

Cole-Borghi, a first-term commissioner who won the Democratic primary for District 3 unopposed earlier this year, was just one of 22 individuals arrested in connection with this case. Lehigh County District Attorney Gavin Holihan claimed the investigation into the alleged drug ring began three years ago and extended all the way to Illinois, New York, and Wisconsin.

 

"This is a wide-ranging, as I said, multi-jurisdictional investigation, which included people yesterday who were arrested in the City of Chicago and the State of Wisconsin," Holihan said at a press conference on Friday, according to lehighvalleylive.com. "And there are warrants for people in multiple counties in Pennsylvania, as well as the state of New York, I believe the state of New Jersey, Philadelphia — so a wide-ranging conspiracy."

IDF drones mistakenly drop grenades close to UNIFIL troops

 

"This is one of the most serious attacks on UNIFIL personnel and assets since the cessation of hostilities agreement of last November," UNIFIL said in a statement on Wednesday.

 

The IDF mistakenly sent drones to drop grenades close to UNIFIL forces in southern Lebanon, believing they were Hezbollah forces, it said Wednesday afternoon.

 

Earlier on Wednesday, UNIFIL said Israeli drones had dropped four grenades close to its peacekeepers who were working on Tuesday morning to clear roadblocks that were hindering access to a UN position.

 

“This is one of the most serious attacks on UNIFIL personnel and assets since the cessation of hostilities agreement of last November,” UNIFIL said.

 

One grenade impacted within 20 meters and three within approximately 100 meters of UN personnel and vehicles, it said.

 

The IDF had been informed in advance of UNIFIL’s road clearance work in the area, southeast of the village of Marwahin, UNIFIL said.

'Certainly not a Zionist': New leader of UK Greens is vocally pro-Palestine Jew

 

Polanski views being called Zionist as a criticism, tweeting on Jan 29, 2024, that it was "s*" for someone to "see someone Jewish and prefer to tweet Zionist at them."

 

The UK’s Green Party has voted in its first Jewish leader, the vocally anti-Israel and pro-Palestine northerner Zack Polanski.

 

Polanski, 42, who won with 20,411 votes from party members, has referred to himself as “proud to be Jewish” but “certainly not a Zionist.” Further, he views being called a Zionist as a criticism, tweeting on January 29, 2024 that it was “s*” for someone to “see someone Jewish and prefer to tweet Zionist at them.”

 

He told The Guardian in May that he grew up “very Zionist,” but his stance today very much opposes that of his childhood. In almost every interview, Polanski speaks of the “genocide in Gaza” or “Israel’s genocide,” including during an interview with Good Morning Britain on Wednesday.

Leaked emails expose Barak Epstein and Thiel former Israeli prime minister discussed private island meeting without security present

 

Barak, a former Israeli PM, schemed with a sex offender to fund Carbyne, a surveillance startup tied to Israel’s Unit 8200, while plotting an unsecured island visit.

 

Over 100,000 emails from former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, leaked by the hacker group Handala and published by DDoSecrets, expose a grotesque intimacy between state power, sexual exploitation, and surveillance capitalism. The messages are not stray fragments. They are a blueprint. A map of elite rot.

 

“I’m still trying to arrange that the security guys will NOT come with us to the island,” Barak wrote in January 2014. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/leaked-emails-reveal-jeffrey-epsteins-connections-to-the-surveillance-industry/ar-AA1Lksqc The island was Little Saint James. Epstein’s island. The one with the underground temple, the surveillance cameras, the teenage girls. Barak wasn’t avoiding security for convenience. He was erasing witnesses. The request is surgical. It’s not about discretion. It’s about insulation from future prosecution.

 

Epstein’s obsession with control metastasized into tech. “In 2015, he partnered with former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak to invest in a security tech startup called Reporty Homeland Security, now known as Carbyne.” https://www.cf.org/news/ex-israeli-pms-hacked-emails-expose-ties-to-epstein/ Surveillance wasn’t a pivot. It was a continuation. From grooming girls to grooming governments. From private abuse to public infrastructure. The transition was seamless. The ethics were nonexistent.

 

Epstein pushed Barak to meet Peter Thiel. “Epstein insisted that Barak ‘spend real time with peter thiel’ and offered to set up a dinner the following month.” https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/leaked-emails-reveal-jeffrey-epsteins-connections-to-the-surveillance-industry/ar-AA1Lksqc

Trump network exploits crypto boom family profits set stage for brutal government crackdown once he leaves office

 

“The Trump family itself controls about 22.5 billion of the $WLFI tokens, suggesting that its holdings as of Monday afternoon were worth about $5 billion, making it one of the most valuable Trump assets” https://electionlawblog.org/?p=151872 That’s not a side hustle. That’s state-sponsored enrichment. The token launched under restricted trading. Early buyers — 35,000 of them — spent $550 million before it hit public exchanges. Then came the unlock. Then came the cash-out. And the family? They didn’t sell. They didn’t need to. Their value was already locked in.

Zelensky behind Parubiy’s death – former Ukrainian MP

 

Rather than a Russian plot, the Ukrainian fascist politician appears to have been eliminated by domestic agents.

 

Lucas Leiroz, member of the BRICS Journalists Association, researcher at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, military expert.

 

It’s possible that the Kiev regime is beginning to “cleanse” its support bases, eliminating public figures who harm the Ukrainian government’s image. In a recent statement, a prominent former Ukrainian parliamentarian publicly accused illegitimate president Vladimir Zelensky and his team of being behind the murder of far-right politician and activist Andrey Parubiy, who was recently shot dead in the Lvov region.

 

The accusations against Zelensky were made by Artyom Dmitruk, a former Ukrainian parliamentarian who left the country after suffering persecution for his pro-Orthodox Church stance. Dmitruk believes the Ukrainian regime is persecuting some of its own supporters amid Zelensky’s constant political maneuvering to maintain power. The exiled parliamentarian disbelieves in the ongoing “investigations” into the murder and claims it’s all a staged attempt to disguise the president’s guilt and his core supporters.

 

Less than 48 hours after the murder, a suspect was arrested, raising suspicions among regime critics, as there was no apparent evidence as to who actually murdered Parubiy. Dmitruk believes the entire investigation is a staged operation and that the captured “suspect” was previously known to Ukrainian authorities—he could be either the actual killer being discarded after the service, or simply someone else chosen to take the blame for the crime.

Labour & Elbit’s £2 Billion Military Deal

 

Andrew Feinstein, Paul Holden and Jack Cinamon challenge why Israel’s largest arms firm and a company mired in a corruption scandal are even being considered for training British troops.

 

Britain’s Ministry of Defence might imminently award a 15-year contract, worth £2.5bn, to a consortium headed by the British subsidiary of the Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems and including the U.S. management consultancy firm, Bain and Company.

 

If successful, Elbit’s consortium would be responsible for training as many as 60,000 members of the U.K. military.

 

The consortium seems well-placed to win the contract; it is, in fact, one of only two shortlisted and preferred bidders.

 

The Ministry of Defence has already given the consortium a £2m contract so that it can develop its proposals further.

 

This is unacceptable. And it is frankly unbelievable that this consortium is even in the running considering its track record.

 

Elbit Systems UK is the fully owned subsidiary of Elbit Systems Limited. Elbit Systems Limited is headquartered in Tel Aviv and is listed on both the Israeli and U.S. stock exchanges.

 

Elbit is one of the two largest Israeli weapons manufacturers and is central to the IDF’s operations, providing 85% of its drones. Elbit International is also a major contributor to the F-35 fighter jet program, bragging that it plays a “critical role” in the “success of the world’s most advanced fighter jet.”

Seattle City Attorney sues Glock over converted handguns

 

"The Glock switch puts the public at risk, it puts children and families at risk, and it puts our law enforcement personnel and first responders at risk."

 

Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison announced Tuesday that she has filed a civil lawsuit in King County Superior Court against gun manufacturer Glock, Inc., its Austrian parent company Glock GES.m.b.H., and three local retailers authorized to sell Glock firearms.

 

The complaint names Pantel Tactical, Bull’s Eye Indoor Range, LLC, and Rainier Arms, LLC, alleging that the companies knowingly sell handguns that can be illegally modified into fully automatic weapons with the addition of a device known as a “Glock switch.”

 

According to the lawsuit, a Glock handgun fitted with a switch can fire up to 30 rounds in two seconds, creating what Davison described as a severe danger to the public. “The Glock switch puts the public at risk, it puts children and families at risk, and it puts our law enforcement personnel and first responders at risk,” Davison said in a statement. “Glock knowingly manufactures a gun that can very easily be converted into an automatic weapon. I will hold corporations putting public safety at risk as accountable as the criminals who violate our state and city laws.”

 

The filing argues that Glock’s design allows the small metal “sear” inside the handgun, which typically prevents rapid-fire discharges, to be bypassed with the addition of the switch. Other gunmakers, Davison said, use manufacturing techniques that prevent this type of easy conversion.

 

The city is asking the court to order Glock to modify its handguns so they cannot be converted to automatic fire with the simple application of a switch.

 

“Unlike its competitors, who choose to use different, safer standards, Glock chooses to prioritize profits over public safety,” Davison said. “I’m bringing this litigation because of the massive increase in gun violence caused by converted Glocks. By using this civil remedy, and continuing to use criminal prosecution community-wide, we will fight gun violence both upstream and downstream.”

 

Seattle police data cited in the lawsuit shows a significant rise in shell casings recovered at crime scenes, increasing from 2,514 in 2020 to 5,746 in 2023. The department also reported 38 incidents involving recovered Glock switches in 2024, up from 20 in 2023.

 

Last May, three people killed in Pioneer Square were believed to have been shot with weapons converted using Glock switches, according to authorities.

 

At the same time, the City of Seattle does not provide statistics on how many crimes are committed by re-offenders or convicted felons, leaving gaps in the public’s understanding of the role repeat offenders play in the city’s gun violence crisis.

Failure on the home front: Scathing report directly criticizes Netanyahu, Smotrich and Gallant

 

Comptroller Matanyahu Englman holds them responsible for failing Israeli civilians since the outbreak of war on October 7, 2023; Prime Minister calls report conclusions 'irrelevant' and 'baseless'

 

State Comptroller Matanyahu Englman issued a harsh report Wednesday criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, holding them responsible for failures in handling the civilian front since the outbreak of the Iron Swords war on October 7, 2023.

“Hundreds of thousands of residents experienced firsthand the failures of the government of Israel in managing the civilian domain during the Iron Swords war,” Englman wrote in the report published Wednesday dealing with the government’s management of civilian affairs during the war.

 

Netanyahu called the report “an irrelevant document” and its conclusions “baseless,” saying “the timing of its publication is puzzling and raises questions.”

 

Englman, who is expected to release additional reports in the coming weeks, responded: “The State Comptroller and the audit teams will continue fulfilling their public role despite attacks from the prime minister, the opposition chairman and other reviewed officials in recent times. Oversight of the political, military and civilian leadership will continue as I made clear from the outset.”

During tours across the country, Englman found shortages of manpower in essential factories, a lack of professional psychological support, a shortage of government representatives at sites housing evacuees, and failures in the payment of grants and compensation. Despite the National Emergency Authority’s assessment that civilian preparedness was “medium to good,” Englman said the government’s response required significant improvement.

Englman found numerous deficiencies in the performance of Netanyahu, ministers and other senior officials. Unlike most comptroller reports in recent years, this one specifically named officials tied to the failures and detailed the shortcomings for which each was responsible.

The ongoing failures, he wrote, came at the expense of ordinary Israelis in need of urgent assistance. Government decisions made after the outbreak of the war failed to achieve their goals and ultimately collapsed due to a dysfunctional framework lacking proper preparation.

Englman wrote that, throughout Netanyahu’s long years in office, he failed to ensure that longstanding gaps in civilian emergency management—known since the Second Lebanon War—were resolved, including through his power to set the government’s agenda. In particular, authority and responsibility for managing the civilian aspects of the home front during war were never fully defined.

Netanyahu, who has served as prime minister for 13 of the 14.5 years between March 2009 and the outbreak of the war, “was obligated to act to ensure a response to years of deficiencies in civilian emergency management,” Engelman wrote.

The report also criticized short-term premiers Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid. Bennett, during his year in office from June 2021 to June 2022, and Lapid, during his half-year tenure from June 2022 until December 2022, “did not act on this issue either.”

Health commissars are pushing masking again in Newsom's California

 

Health officials have begun their seasonal fearmongering a few months early.

California's mask commissars are once again clamoring for Americans to cover their faces.

 

During the pandemic, Democrat leaders and health officials in the Golden State proved eager to condition Americans' ability to leave the house and to perform basic errands on wearing a mask.

 

"Bring your mask with you whenever you leave your home," said former Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. "That will help us get more freedoms."

 

On June 18, 2020 — just over a month after L.A. reopened its beaches — the California Department of Public Health announced that Californians were required to wear face coverings in public spaces; when obtaining services from the health care sector; when waiting for or riding on public transportation; when engaged in work with other members of the public; and "while outdoors in public spaces when maintaining a physical distance of six feet from persons who are not members of the same household."

 

"Simply put, we are seeing too many people with faces uncovered," said Gavin Newsom — the Democrat governor who months later issued a statewide order expanding the mask requirement to most indoor and outdoor settings.

 

Newsom issued his order despite evidence that masks, like the COVID-19 vaccines, weren't as effective as some proponents liked to pretend.

 

For instance, the Centers for Disease Control's peer-reviewed journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases, published a study in May 2020 that found "no significant reduction in influenza transmission with the use of face masks."

 

The researchers stated, "There is limited evidence for [disposal medical masks'] effectiveness in preventing influenza virus transmission either when worn by the infected person for source control or when worn by uninfected persons to reduce exposure. Our systematic review found no significant effect of face masks on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza."

 

'I recommend that everybody in West Sacramento wear a mask when they are around others in indoor public spaces.'

Senator Jacinta Nampijinpa Price was initially ordered to remove the Australian flag she had draped across her shoulders on Wednesday while saying Australians needed to reclaim pride in the flag.

 

Price, the Shadow Minister for Defence Industry, had draped the flag across her shoulders to mark 124 years since it was first flown.

 

“There’s a constellation of 5 stars, the Southern Cross, a reminder of our unique place in the world and the common geography Australians share,” Senator Price told the Senate.

 

“My elders from a tiny community near Tennant Creek have spoken about how the Southern Cross is part of dreaming, or Jukurrpa, so contrary to the views of activists, Australians certainly are represented by our national flag.”

 

But her remarks were interrupted by Greens Senator Nick McKim, who raised a point of order.

 

“I do want to make the point that if it’s OK for Senator Nampijinpa Price to wrap herself in this flag, I would intend to wrap myself in a Palestinian flag,” he said.

How the disgraced Bega Cheese CEO who was exposed as a paedophile and abused this little boy is now exploiting a sickening legal loophole

 

Van Ryn preyed on teenage boys

 

A young man who survived years of abuse at the hands of convicted Bega Cheese paedophile Maurice Van Ryn has issued a powerful plea for victims to be allowed to access their abusers' superannuation.

 

In a raw and confronting message to Australia's politicians, Edan van Haren described the lasting trauma of abuse by Van Ryn, the CEO of the household name cheese company, who was sentenced to nine years in jail in 2019.

 

Van Haren said Van Ryn created a 'paedophilic-friendly environment' that assisted in the abuse of the young man.

 

Van Ryn pleaded guilty in 2014 to abusing 10 boys and girls, aged eight to 16, over the previous decade.

 

At the time he told the court there had never been a time in his life when he wasn't sexually attracted to children and he just wasn't able to resist the urge.

 

His house had a spa, pool and tennis court and the 'added attraction' of computer games and alcohol which 'enticed' young people, according to court documents.

 

Van Haren was awarded $1.4 million in damages but has yet to receive any compensation due to a legal loophole that allows convicted offenders to shield assets through bankruptcy and superannuation protections.

 

'Imagine spending your childhood being controlled, manipulated and sexually abused,' he wrote.

 

'Imagine being 29 and still remembering exactly what positions he put you in.

 

'I have spent the last 15 years trying to forget it. But guess what I can't.

 

'I probably never will, every time I was abused is stuck in my head like a repeating record.'
