OUR LATEST UPDATES
Fewer Americans Consider Childhood Vaccines Important
8/12/2024 -
Despite potential consequences, an Aug. 7, 2024, Gallup poll found that “fewer
Americans today consider childhood vaccines important, with 40% saying it is
extremely important for parents to have their children vaccinated, down from 58%
in 2019 and 64% in 2001. There has been a similar decline in the combined
‘extremely’ and ‘very important’ percentage, which was 94% in 2001 but sits at
69% today.”
Majority of Americans Support Legal Euthanasia and MAID
8/12/2024 -
An Aug. 8, 2024, Gallup poll found that 71% of Americans agree that doctors
should be “allowed by law to end the patient’s life by some painless means if
the patient and his or her family request it” (which is also known as
euthanasia) and 66% agree that doctors should “be allowed by law to assist the
[terminal] patient [in severe pain] to commit suicide” if requested by the
patient. (which is also known as MAID).
DOJ and FCC Sues TikTok over Alleged Child Privacy Infractions
8/12/2024 -
On Aug. 2, 2024, the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Trade
Commission (FCC) filed a civil lawsuit against TikTok. The lawsuit claims “from
2019 to the present, TikTok knowingly permitted children to create regular
TikTok accounts and to create, view, and share short-form videos and messages
with adults and others on the regular TikTok platform. The defendants collected
and retained a wide variety of personal information from these children without
notifying or obtaining consent from their parents. Even for accounts that were
created in ‘Kids Mode’ (a pared-back version of TikTok intended for children
under 13), the defendants unlawfully collected and retained children’s email
addresses and other types of personal information. Further, when parents
discovered their children’s accounts and asked the defendants to delete the
accounts and information in them, the defendants frequently failed to honor
those requests. The defendants also had deficient and ineffectual internal
policies and processes for identifying and deleting TikTok accounts created by
children.” TikTok spokesperson Alex Haurek, responded, “We disagree with these
allegations, many of which relate to past events and practices that are
factually inaccurate or have been addressed. We are proud of our efforts to
protect children, and we will continue to update and improve the platform.”
