Elon Musk threatens to disobey court order over banned profiles: Brazil threatens to regulate social media owned by "billionaires domiciled abroad."

Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil

A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.

Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.

The Biden administration will require thousands more gun dealers to run background checks on buyers

apnews.com/article/biden-administration-background-checks-atf-rule-70261cc0512eea8d52ef9585a9a48ab2

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: Brazil: Bolsonaro Faces Charges for Suspected Vaccine Data Manipulation

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has been officially accused of tampering with his COVID-19 vaccination records, marking the first charge against the controversial far-right leader, with potential additional allegations.

The federal police indictment, disclosed by the Supreme Court, alleges that Bolsonaro and 16 others were involved in falsifying information within a public health database to give the impression that the former president, his 12-year-old daughter, and select individuals in his close circle had been administered the COVID-19 vaccine.

Throughout the inquiry, numerous deceptive entries were identified between November 2021 and December 2022, alongside instances of utilizing forged documentation.

Asserting innocence, Bolsonaro could potentially face a sentence ranging from two to 12 years if found guilty of manipulating health data.

Former military commanders in Brazil state that President Bolsonaro was involved in a coup.

Despite evidence, Bolsonaro denied any coup involvement and evaded handing over power to Lula.

Investigations reveal Bolsonaro attempted to organize a coup involving active and retired military officers.

Quick Glance: Youngkin signs 2 gun control measures in Virginia

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed an assault weapons ban passed by the state Legislature and instead signed two more limited gun regulations into law.

Youngkin signed laws banning gun trigger switches that can make firearms fire automatically and allowing criminal charges against parents who allow children access to weapons deemed threats.

While praised by gun control activists, they urge him to do more, emphasizing that the work does not stop here.

The signing of the two gun control bills by Youngkin is seen as a step in the right direction, showing that America's gun violence crisis does not have to be accepted as inevitable.

Quick Glance: Jury finds NRA and Wayne LaPierre liable in civil corruption trial

Wayne LaPierre diverted millions of dollars from the National Rifle Association to live luxuriously, while the gun rights group failed to properly manage its finances.

The jury ruled that the National Rifle Association failed to properly run its nonprofit and its assets between March 20, 2014, and May 2, 2022.

Jurors found that LaPierre and other executives violated their statutory obligations, causing monetary harm to the NRA.

State Supreme Court Judge Joel Cohen will make decisions on monetary damages and potential oversight of the NRA's finances.
