🇷🇺💀 Vladimir Putin has finally acknowledged that the deadly Moscow concert hall attack was carried out by Islamic militants.

🏴󠁵󠁹󠁦󠁤󠁿📱 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has banned social media for all kids under 14. Meta and TikTok-related platforms are all off-limits, with 14 and 15-year-olds requiring parental permission, after the new bill.
