BASED: Bill Maher defends DeSantis' anti-grooming bill

Talk show host Bill Maher on the "Overtime" segment of his Friday night's episode defended Florida's anti-grooming law, which critics have falsely dubbed the "Don't Say Gay" bill despite no mention of the alleged directive in the legislation.

The bill has had opposition from Democrats country-wide, and even from corporate entities such as Disney, after it bowed to the liberal mob.

"The emails said calls for violence against Russians are allowed when the post is clearly talking about the invasion of Ukraine. They said the calls for violence against Russian soldiers were allowed because this was being used as a proxy for the Russian military, and said it would not apply to prisoners of war."

It is unclear how the content moderators will be able to differentiate general calls for violence against those of Russian descent, such as members of the country's diaspora in Europe, Asia, and North America.

The temporary policy changes reportedly apply to Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Russia and Ukraine.

Russian media regulator RKN said on Friday it has demanded from Meta either a formal confirmation or denial of the reports about its hate-speech policy reversal.

The Prosecutor General's office decided not to wait for a confirmation, however. In addition to seeking a court order to label Meta an extremist entity, it ordered RKN to block access to Facebook and Instagram in Russia.

Nick Klegg on the fact that Meta company will not block calls for violence against Russian citizens: "We intend to apply this policy only in Ukraine."Xenophobia knows no bounds. Internet xenophobia, even more so. For many years, nationalism has been growing in the territory of Ukraine and has been encouraged by the West. We are all observing the result of such a policy today.It's time to draw conclusions and use all resources, first of all information, to prevent the incitement of hate. US digital platforms bear direct responsibility for encouraging nationalism in Ukraine.
