COLLEGE STATION, Texas (KBTX) - A College Station business owner says they are running into issues with advertising on a social media platform.Burdett & Son Outdoor Adventure Shop in College Station says they turned to advertising on Instagram during the COVID-19 pandemic.“As the COVID-19 shut down happened, we had to reduce capacity. We had to figure out a way to still reach our customers because we were getting a bunch of calls every day that basically were, ‘Do you have this in stock,” said Manager Sarah Burdett.Burdett says in the beginning, everything was fine. Until a few weeks in, posts were getting flagged for review. Many of the pictures Burdett says they were posting were different types of guns and ammunition that had just come in to the shop.“Basically we have been flagged for violating community guidelines,” said Burdett. “They are saying that we are selling regulated goods illegally. I have uploaded every possible documentation that I can to prove that we are a business and are accepted as a business, including our federal firearms license, and anything that we may have on file to prove that we are a valid business that can sell these regulated goods.”Like many small,…

WASHINGTON (JTA) — Republicans and others are calling Mark Zuckerberg “Zuckerbucks.” The Anti-Defamation League wants that to stop, claiming the term suggests that “rich Jews are controlling levers of power.” The Zuckerbucks term has been circulating since last year, when the Facebook founder and his wife, Priscilla Chan, steered $400 million through the nonpartisan Center for Technology and Civic Life to assist local election offices ahead of the November vote. A conservative think tank, the Foundation for Government Accountability, has posted multiple articles using the term and decrying the donations as unfairly tilting elections. This month, the term made it into Congress: Rep. Claudia Tenney, a New York Republican, proposed the End Zuckerbucks Act, which would ban nonprofits classified as tax exempt and nonpartisan from giving money to election offices. Among the co-sponsors are two Republican congresswomen, Reps. Elise Stefanik of New York and Lauren Boebert of Colorado. Stefanik, a Donald Trump ally, is the third-ranked Republican in the House of Representatives. Boebert recently drew criticism for likening coronavirus protections to the Nazi era.  » Read More

Welcome to the #FreeBritney movement, Britney’s Instagram. After finally being granted the right to hire her own lawyer, Britney Spears posted a video to Instagram, hashtagging it #FreeBritney. This is a big acknowledgment of the movement surrounding Spears. “Coming along, folks … coming along 🖕🏻!!!!! New with real representation today … I feel GRATITUDE and BLESSED !!!!” the pop star wrote. This is a major change in Spears’ gram, which for years did not comment on the conservatorship or any legal battles surrounding it. Questions of the Instagram’s authorship abounded, and became part of the larger speculation over Spears’ agency and happiness under the conservatorship. Since Spears spoke in open court last month, those questions have been answered. Spears apologized on Instagram for “pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years,” she wrote. “I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me.” Spears also shouted out her fans in today’s Instagram, writing “You have no idea what it means to me be supported by such awesome fans.” Earlier today in the conservatorship hearing, Spears also thanked her fans for giving her strength, saying “It’s because of them I am here today,…
