Meta Seeks Immunity in Kids Online Safety Act
L 19%
Center 44%
Right 37%
What's happening: Meta is lobbying to insert a liability shield into the Kids Online Safety Act that would grant platforms immunity from state lawsuits over safety or privacy claims involving users under 18. The proposal, offered in exchange for dropping opposition to KOSA, could undermine thousands of pending lawsuits from families and school districts against social media companies.
Why it matters: If adopted, this immunity provision could eliminate your ability to sue platforms if your child suffers harm from social media addiction or privacy violations. It would preempt state laws and block legal accountability routes that families, including a California woman who won $6 million earlier this year, have successfully used to hold companies responsible for harmful platform features.

Study: Top 10% of Consumers Cost Earth $5.7 Trillion in Annual Damage

The findings: A Leiden University study published today estimates the world's top 10% of consumers cause $1.7–$5.7 trillion in annual environmental damage across climate change, biodiversity loss, nutrient pollution and freshwater use. U.S. top earners face bills of $19,000–$63,000 per person yearly, while India's top 10% owe $410–$1,400, based on 2017 consumption data monetized using the 2024 Environmental Prices Handbook.
Why it matters: More than 60% of the global top 10% live in the U.S. and E.U., with over half of Americans falling into this high-consuming category. Researchers argue taxing wealthy consumers could fund UN climate and biodiversity targets while reducing inequality, as the top 10% hold outsized power as investors and trendsetters to reshape consumption patterns and corporate choices.

What's happening: Ghana is hosting a high-level international conference on reparatory justice this week in Accra, running June 17-19, bringing together heads of state, legal experts, and diaspora representatives to implement UN Resolution A/RES/80/250 on reparations for the transatlantic slave trade and colonialism. The conference will establish three international mechanisms and adopt an outcome document on June 19, coinciding with Juneteenth observances.
Why it matters: This conference marks a critical shift from recognition to implementation of reparatory justice, establishing global advisory and legal panels that will shape international policy on restitution of cultural artifacts and accountability for historical wrongs. The outcome document will contribute to a UN Secretary-General report and strengthen the collective voice of Africans and the diaspora in pursuing reparations worldwide.

What happened: A three-year-old boy was allegedly thrown into a crocodile enclosure at Johnsons of Old Hurst zoo near Huntingdon yesterday afternoon. Zoo staff, including owner's wife Tracey Johnson who reportedly jumped 15 feet into the enclosure, pulled the child from the water before emergency services airlifted him to Addenbrooke's Hospital where he remains critical but stable.
The investigation: A 30-year-old Norfolk man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of attempted murder but released on bail until September 18 after being deemed unfit for interview. Cambridgeshire Police's Major Crime Unit continues investigating the incident, stating the suspect and child are not believed to know each other, while specially trained officers support the boy's family at hospital.
