Rishon Florant, 23, who is serving a minimum 18 years behind bars for a shocking fatal stabbing in a youth centre in London in 2019, was caught red-handed when prison officers searched his cell at HMP Manchester on September 5, 2023. The prison officers visited the cell after they had 'received information', the court heard. As they entered they saw the seated inmate brazenly scrolling a smuggled iPhone on which he 'appeared to be accessing social media', prosecutor William Donnelly told Manchester Crown Court today (Wednesday May 14, 2025).

The prisoner revealed the six-inch weapon, fashioned with sharpened aluminium beading from his cell window for the blade wrapped with cloth to form a handle, from behind the waistband of his trousers. It was a 'fearsome weapon

School threat in Carmi cancels classes; police investigate Snapchat post | Illinois – WSIL

CARMI, Ill. (WSIL) -- Carmi-White County CUSD #5 faced a potential threat of violence which was reported overnight through the Illinois Safe2Help tip line. The tip line, which is anonymous and confidential, notified the district of the threat against Carmi Schools. The school said the threat was made in an anonymous Snapchat post and lacked specific details. To prioritize safety, Carmi-White County CUSD #5 made the announcement of cancelling classes for Tuesday, May 13.  Law enforcement investigated the situation. The Carmi Police Department said after multiple search warrants to providers for information, they tracked the Safe2Help tip line report to a 16-year-old male. Police said the 16-year-old was intoxicated at the time he sent the report and didn't have any knowledge of an actual school threat toward the school.

France, Greece, Spain and Ireland to push for EU-wide social media age verification

This combination of photos shows logos of X, formerly known as Twitter, top left; Snapchat, top right; Facebook, bottom left; and TikTok, bottom right. France, in coordination with Greece, Spain and Ireland, is preparing to push for new European legislation requiring mandatory age verification for creating social media accounts, French Deputy Minister for Digital Policy Clara Chappaz said on Sunday. In an interview with Libération, Chappaz said that French President Emmanuel Macron has long supported stricter rules around digital exposure for minors, advocating for a ban on mobile phone use before the age of 11 and access to social media before the age of 15. These proposals are grounded in expert research on the impact of screen time on children’s mental and emotional development. Chappaz stressed that the current Digital Services Act (DSA) does not go far enough in protecting minors online. “We must go beyond the European institutional framework of the Digital Services Act to strengthen its solvency and oblige social media not to accept account creation without age verification,” she said. The French government is now seeking to build a coalition with like-minded EU member states, with Chappaz aiming to mobilize partners within three months.
