When we think of censorship, our minds might turn to state agencies exercising power to silence dissent. However, contemporary concerns about censorship arise in contexts where non-state actors suppress expression and communication. There are subtle and not-so-subtle forms of interference that come from social groups, employers, media corporations, and even search engines. Should these “new” forms of censorship alarm us? Should we assess them in ways that mirror our typical views about state-enacted censorship? If not, how should we think about non-state modes of censorship?
In Private Censorship (Oxford University Press, 2024), JP Messina takes up these broad questions. He examines a range of emerging sites of non-state censorship – what he calls “private” censorship – and sorts through the normative, political, and legal issues.

Our solar system is made up of a lot of things.
The biggest thing is the sun, of course which makes up the vast majority of the solar system’s mass.
Then, of course, there are planets, which come in various sizes, and many of them have moons of various sizes.
However, that isn’t everything. There are other things in the solar system, things that amount to debris between the much bigger objects.
Learn more about asteroids, how they were discovered, and how they might serve humanity’s future on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The Department of Justice took a significant step on Tuesday to downgrade federal restrictions on marijuana. The DOJ submitted a formal recommendation to the White House to reclassify it as a Schedule III drug. It’s a monumental shift in federal drug policy because, for more than 50 years, the U.S. government has considered marijuana to be among the most dangerous drugs, on par with heroin and LSD. Krishna Andavolu, the host and executive producer of the Vice TV show Weediquette, explains what reclassification could mean for businesses, medicine, and criminal justice.
And in headlines: The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump’s criminal hush-money trial fined the former president $9,000 for violating a gag order, police arrested students that had occupied Hamilton Hall on Columbia University’s campus, and a key federal task force issued new recommendations for women and breast cancer screenings.

Sen. Roger Marshall was one of only 15 Republican senators who voted against sending an additional $60 billion to Ukraine for its war against Russia.
“One of my jobs is to prioritize where we're spending the money,” Marshall says. “And I'm telling you, until we secure the border, I don't think we should be spending any money outside of this country, let alone on what I'm describing as really Ukraine's … never-ending war.”
The Senate passed the foreign aid package, which totaled $95 billion and included aid for Israel and Taiwan, on April 23.
Marshall says that six times he “brought to the Senate floor stand-alone funding for Israel—the opportunity to fund just Israel, to take these issues one at a time. Six times the Democrats blocked that opportunity.”
“The Democrats used Israel as leverage to get their votes for Ukraine,” the Kansas senator said.
Marshall joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss what America’s relationship with Ukraine should look like over the course of the next year. The senator also addresses the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests on America’s university campuses and what similarities can be drawn between these protests and the anti-war protests at colleges in the 1960s and 1970s.

Bumble is ending its biggest differentiator now that guys can make the 1st move — But Bumble followed the scientific method of launching.
Walmart just launched its own version of Costco’s Kirkland brand — “Bettergoods” is Walmart’s 1st new brand in 20 years and it’s all about the DINK.
And Detroit was stuck in a brutal 70 year Doom Loop, but it’s reversed into a Boom Loop – We tell the story of Detroit’s bankruptcy bounceback.
Plus, Walgreens invented a peelable gummy candy that’s so viral, they’re limiting 1 per customer — Because viral products don’t drive sales, they drive conversations.
