Jurors have now heard all the evidence in the sex-trafficking case against Sean "Diddy" Combs, with closing arguments scheduled for the end of this week. Sean 'Diddy' Combs speaks onstage during the 2022 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 15, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Amy Sussman/Getty Images The federal sex-trafficking trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs is winding to a close. Jurors have seen all the evidence, and a verdict could come soon now that the disgraced music mogul has officially decided not to take the stand in his own defense. Combs has been on trial for over a month on the bombshell charges that he used violence, money and blackmail to force women to participate in drug-fueled sex shows called “freak-offs.” The rapper, who maintains his innocence, could face a potential life sentence if convicted on all counts. Prosecutors rested on Tuesday (June 24) after a Homeland Security agent finished testifying, the New York Times reports. The government has built its case with videos, text messages and dozens of witnesses – most crucially, singer Cassie Ventura and an anonymous women known as “Jane,” both ex-girlfriends of Combs who testified that they were coerced into participating

TikTok has banned the hashtag #SkinnyTok after public outrage and warnings that it was promoting unrealistic body standards, eating disorders and extreme weight loss.  It's not the first time content like this has been blocked by the platform. In September, influencer Liv Schmidt, who built her platform on the outward pursuit of thinness, growing a following of 670,000, was banned. “Basic fit because the accessory is being blonde & skinny,” she captioned one outfit video on Instagram, where she now has over 320,000 followers. “Please don’t ask me how I’m so skinny if you’re not ready for the answers,” she wrote over another.  #SkinnyTok’s content is eerily similar to the thinspo – or, inspiration on how to be skinnier –  that dominated social media platforms like Tumblr in the 2010s. Though Tumblr, Instagram and Pinterest banned #thinspo in 2012, it didn’t stop these communities from populating the sites. Even with the ban of #SkinnyTok, removing harmful content may be an uphill battle. Content creators like Schmidt have paved the way for the “skinny influencer,” and mental health experts have cautioned that this represents a larger shift in how Americans are discussing thinness.  “We're almost seeing a return to the outward profession of the desire

After Five Finger Death Punch learned its original indie label, Prospect Park, had sold its master recordings without its knowledge, the veteran hard-rock band looked to Taylor Swift for inspiration.  “She could have gone into a costly lawsuit, or she could have felt sorry for herself. she just sprung into action and did what she had to do,” guitarist Zoltan Bathory tells Billboard. “That’s the way of life, and we will do what is necessary and legally can be done.” Like Swift, Five Finger Death Punch is re-recording its early hits, including “Under and Over It” and “Far From Home,” and will release them in two greatest hits albums, beginning with Best Of, Volume 1, due July 19. “She got them to think a little bit about what their rights were,” says the band’s manager, Allen Kovac of 10th Street Entertainment. “They want to be able to determine how these songs are promoted, marketed, licensed, visualized.” Trending on Billboard Since Kovac took over Five Finger Death Punch’s management roughly 15 years ago, he and the band have been locked in a battle with Prospect Park and its founder, longtime artist manager Jeff Kwatinetz. Kovac says Kwatinetz, who launched Limp

Tumblr is currently facing user backlash after its automated content-filtering system began falsely flagging posts as “mature.” These erroneous flags have limited the visibility of many users’ content since a majority of users have set their accounts to hide mature content by default. Affected users report a wide range of content being incorrectly marked, from harmless cat GIFs to fandom posts, artwork, and even images as innocuous as pictures of hands. The underlying cause remains uncertain, though speculation points toward AI-based automation playing a role in these mistakes. This is not an isolated incident. Other platforms have experienced comparable problems recently. Pinterest admitted to an internal error causing mass bans, while Instagram has also faced user complaints over unexplained account restrictions. Though users suspect AI moderation errors, some companies deny such involvement. Ongoing Experimentation with Mature Content Filtering On Tumblr, the issue coincides with an update to the Android app, where the company has been trialing new moderation layers on its Content Labels system. According to a spokesperson, the experiments are ongoing and adjustments will be made based on user feedback before wider implementation. The company expressed its commitment to creating a safe platform that respects diverse user interests and
