New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin has filed a lawsuit against Discord, alleging the platform is a "playground for child predators." The state claims Discord's default settings allow strangers to message children and that the company misled parents about its "safe direct messaging" features. The lawsuit also alleges the app is a breeding ground for extremist content, citing its use in organizing the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally.

### Online Predation, Blocking vs Reporting Creepy Men

Parents of child influencers report spending hours each day blocking inappropriate comments and predatory men from their children's accounts. However, critics point out that simply blocking users does not stop the behavior, and many parents fail to report these individuals to law enforcement or the platform. The investigation suggests that the current business model of platforms like Instagram facilitates this environment of exploitation.

John C. Dvorak analyzes a segment from The Joy Behar Show regarding a supposed 170-page "manual" for child predators. Dvorak argues the manual is likely a media fabrication or a "gateway" for increased email surveillance and censorship. The hosts suggest such documents could be used by law enforcement to plant evidence or ruin political enemies through false accusations.

A study in the *American Naturalist* describes a fungus that takes control of carpenter ants' brains, turning them into "zombie ants" to optimize spore reproduction.

The hosts joke that following such government advice could lead to an arrest.
