FARMINGTON (25News Now) - Two juveniles were removed from Farmington Central High School Wednesday night following a reported fight, with police saying one sent a threat to the other after that. Farmington Police were called around 7:25 p.m. to the high school. School administrators told police that two juveniles were fighting and removed from the school. Police said that while off campus, one of those juveniles allegedly sent a threatening Snapchat message to the other - including a picture of a gun. Police said there was not a threat to the high school and the school was never locked down, since the alleged threat was made and received off campus. A Farmington officer was on scene until the juvenile who made the alleged threat was in custody. Police said the gun was later found to be an airsoft gun that looked identical to a Glock handgun. Farmington officers and Fulton County Sheriff deputies found that juvenile who made the alleged threat at his home where he was taken into custody without incident. He was released to his parents with a county juvenile intake for aggravated assault. Police said a second juvenile was brought to the department by his parents and

Millions of Australian social media accounts held by children have been culled since new age limits took effect and safety regulators are now looking "closely" at the data to ensure all platforms are complying. More than 4.7 million accounts on platforms like Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat were deactivated in the first two days of the ban that started on December 10, according to new data released by the federal government. Preliminary analysis by the eSafety Commissioner has found social media companies affected by the new laws have been making "meaningful attempts" to prevent underage users from holding accounts. The platforms were required to provide the data to eSafety as part of the laws introduced by the Albanese government. Earlier this week Meta revealed it removed 330,000 users from Instagram, 173,000 from Facebook and 39,000 from Threads between December 4 and 11 last year. The company remains critical of the age restriction, arguing it has isolated vulnerable teens from support in online communities and driven them to less regulated apps. "The premise of the law, which prevents under-16-year-olds from holding a social media account so they aren't exposed to an 'algorithmic experience', is false," Meta said in a blog post. "Platforms

The man accused of torching a Mississippi synagogue posted a graphic selfie hours after the antisemitic attack, showing off his nasty burns. Stephen Pittman, 19, shared the grisly shot on Snapchat Saturday — the same day Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson was gutted by a pre-dawn inferno, the Clarion Ledger reported. Pittman raised his swollen and severely burned left hand in the photo while his bemused face was covered in pink scorch marks. Stephen Pittman, 19, posted the photo of the synagogue fire. Snapchat/Spencer Pittman It remains unclear whether he was in custody when the selfie was posted, but Pittman was arrested Saturday after his father found him covered in burns and he allegedly confessed to the crime. Beth Israel was left severely damaged after the fire, which was set by a masked individual caught on security footage dumping a can of gasoline across its lobby and halls. The blaze destroyed the synagogue’s library and administrative offices along with several valuable Torahs, but the rest of the building was mercifully spared and there were no casualties. Pittman was turned in to police by his father, and the teen allegedly confessed once he was in custody. The damage sustained during a

The Social Media Victims Law Center proudly recognizes our client, Attorney Megan Garcia, for being named to Business Insider’s AI Power List—a selection of key players shaping the next wave of AI innovation—as a leading safety advocate in the space. This national recognition reflects Garcia’s extraordinary courage and tireless advocacy in confronting the real-world harms caused by unsafe artificial intelligence systems—especially those impacting children. Following the devastating loss of her 14-year-old son, Sewell Setzer III, in February 2024, Garcia took action to protect other families from experiencing similar harm. She filed a lawsuit against an AI companion startup, alleging that its chatbot products are unsafe for minors. Garcia has since testified before Congress, calling on lawmakers to hold tech companies accountable for deploying AI systems that can inflict psychological harm on vulnerable users. Her advocacy helped bring national attention to the dangers of AI companions marketed without meaningful safeguards. As reported by Business Insider, Garcia has spoken publicly about how chatbot systems collect and exploit children’s most intimate thoughts, emotions, and vulnerabilities for profit—often without parents’ knowledge or consent. Her work has already driven meaningful change: following her testimony and public advocacy, the AI companion startup her son used barred

Meta has removed nearly 550,000 accounts of users under 16 as part of Australia's ban on minors accessing social media platforms, the first measure of its kind in the world, Agenzia Nova reported. Photo credit: haber7.com Between December 4 and 11, over 330,000 Instagram accounts, approximately 173,000 Facebook accounts, and nearly 40,000 Threads accounts were deleted. The ban officially went into effect on December 10, but Meta began removing users a week earlier, notifying affected users in November and allowing them to download their data. Previously, the company estimated that there were approximately 300,000 Instagram users and 150,000 Facebook users in Australia between the ages of 13 and 15, in addition to cases of minors under the age of 16 registering with false information or with the help of their parents. Meta relies on the British company Yoti to verify age, using ID or video selfies. The company reiterated that compliance with the law will require gradual adjustments and called for app stores to be required to verify age and obtain parental consent. According to a university survey, 79 percent of Australian adults support the ban, while 70 percent of minors are opposed. The measure limits access to ten major
