SCOOP: After two public court hearings, a Florida judge has issued a restraining order against Rep. Cory Mills for "protection against dating violence." Mills's ex-girlfriend filed for the injunction in August, alleging sextortion & violent threats. I'll post more clips from the decision below.

Republican Rep. Cory Mills allegedly threatened to release nude images of a 26-year-old woman and to harm her future boyfriends after she ended their relationship.

Now, a judge just ordered Mills, 45, not to come within 500 feet of the defendant & ruled that she is “a victim of dating violence.”

The announcement means kids using teen-specific accounts will see photos and videos on Instagram that are similar to what they would see in a PG-13 movie — no sex, drugs or dangerous stunts, among others. https://to.pbs.org/48uERrD

Instagram says it will limit teens to PG-13 content by default as safeguard

The company is also adding an even stricter setting that parents can set up for their children.

The thing that I see pro-Israel commentators struggle with the most of all is that anti-Israel sentiment is just not going to recede. The reason for this is really simple but it's one that they can't even comprehend because they don't see it this way: the Palestinian question isn't resolved.

Emissary Of Night | ليلى @diplomatofnight.com · 12h

It is not clear to me what exactly would be permissive to say about Israel's regime of control over Palestinians if one can't even assess what they saw with their own eyes on a personal visit to the very site of the situation.
