Finnish police uncover sprawling child sex abuse ring

a pedophile ring with links to 17 Western countries. Chief Investigator Sanna Springare did not say what other countries were involved, only that several were European. She also cited the need to protect victims' privacy as she declined to give details as to where the crimes took place. Though she did not name the perpetrators, she said that the ringleader held "a prominent position in society."
Springare did, however, outline the abuses, saying that the five men arrested had filmed the violent, repeated rape of six male victims, aged six to 15, over the course of 14 years.

Grindr Suit Quashed but Big Tech Controversy Endures

An attorney for Matthew Herrick, whose ex-boyfriend used the hook-up app to send about 1,100 ["]suitors["] Herrick's way, had choice words Wednesday after the Second Circuit affirmed dismissal of their case.
[...]
As it did in District Court, Grindr persuaded the Second Circuit today that it is immune from liability under the Communications Decency Act. The law is more than 20 years old, but the Second Circuit rejected arguments from Ekeland that it needs an update.

For what is government?

"Congress needs to step in to fix this because the courts are failing in their duty to protect the public," said Ekeland, whose New York-based firm specializes in cases related to computers and the digital age.

Re: Europe ANNEX (none / 0)

o. look. Here is the answer, again malformed.

If the first duty of every government, is to protect the people then it's kinda obvious they agree that in the current Brexit circumstances they can't protect us because Brexit will be harmful in any form
So what are the political chancers doing, well they're protecting themselves by doing nothing so none of them has to take the hit later at the ballot box for what they did ...

"Protect the people" from what?
