    Facebook owns Instagram. There are hundreds of Instagrammers who are scammers and probably belong in the slammer.

    More than 100 Instagram accounts are promoting dangerous antivax views and selling "detox" products..

    This is a major change. From now on, we'll be getting our fake news, conspiracy theories, threats, insults and incitements to violence from Meta, not Facebook. I feel so much better now. On December 1, the company's stock symbol will change from FB to MVRS (for "Metaverse").

    Facebook, Twitter and Instagram suspended Donald Trump's accounts in January because he spread lies and incited a deadly riot and they feared more violence was possible. Donald Trump then sued Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for suspending his accounts. Trump cried "Censorship!" and said his First Amendment free-speech rights were violated – but the First Amendment applies to government entities, not private companies. Now the Justice Department is getting involved.

    "G'day, mates. This is my 15-year-old son. He smokes marijuana, he uses fentanyl and he drinks Great Northern beer and Jacob's Creek wine. He's a bonzer lad and I'm rippin' proud of him. This is my 14-year-old daughter. I caught her trying to log on to Facebook. I'm bloody ashamed of her!"

    Social media sites will risk huge fines if they don't take "reasonable steps" to block users 16 and under in Australia. It is downright scary – and unreasonable – what those "reasonable steps" might be.

    After Australia legislated a teen social media ban, it has to figure out how to enforce it
