Presidential Immunity Debate and Instagram's Child Exploitation Issue
The Supreme Court has yet to rule on whether a president is completely immune from prosecution for actions taken while in office and post-office, which will have significant future implications. Trump claims that his efforts during the 2020 election cannot be held against him in court as they were official presidential actions. He argues immunity based on the impeachment requirement before any criminal charges against a former or current president and the separation of powers, stating it's unconstitutional for a former president to be tried in a court. This sets the stage for a crucial Supreme Court hearing that will impact cases against Trump. Meanwhile, Instagram faces scrutiny for allowing parents to share sexualized images of their children through subscription features, with states demanding accountability from the platform's owner, Meta.
