Lakers legend slams LeBron James for ‘lack of social justice’
One of the biggest names in basketball continues to slam Lebron James
Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar claims James should be “embarrassed” over some of his actions and says it’s hard to trust what James does and says, at times.
Over the weekend Abdul-Jabbar again publicly criticised James stating that he does not think that James is using his public platform effectively enough on social justice issues.
The only recent response we’ve heard from the current L.A. Laker was brief and stern saying “I don’t have a response to Kareem at all”
Over the weekend Kareem was on hand to recognise Carmelo Anthony’s work in social justice
Anthony is a current teammate of Lebron and he was asked about the conflict between the two.
His response “I don’t think we need Kareem lashing out at Bron, and you haven’t seen Bron say anything about Kareem. … I think that would be a powerful conversation.”

Australia shuts millions of teen social media accounts
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.
Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.
Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.
Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
