I could sense a dark mass behind him, a man. "ALBERT!" I screamed as I lunged forward. My blade pierced through the assassin, and as I got closer, a light revealed my enemy.

Warzone hack accusers everywhere are salivating as pro player MuTeX has been shadowbanned on the battle royale even though the streamer claims to have never broken any rules.

When it comes to Warzone, no one is ever safe from being called a cheater. As many hackers have infiltrated the game, it created a cheater until proven innocent atmosphere for many players.

While the RICOCHET anti-cheat has done its part in silencing hackers around the world, some people think it lacks in certain areas. This is why the game has shadow banning, which suspects players that may be cheating and makes it nearly impossible to find a game.

Now, streamer and pro MuTeX, who has been widely accused of cheating in the past, has been shadow banned on the game, despite proving to the community that he hasnt done anything wrong.

On April 10, MuTeX informed his fans that he has been shadow banned on Warzone even though he believes he didnt break any rules. He reached out to Raven Software and Activision saying please help me out as soon as possible. I stream your game every single day and dont want a set back for no reason.

MuTeX has done everything in his power to clear his name from hackusations in Warzone. Hes gone as far as 5-camera streams just to prove to everyone that hes just more talented than the average player.

However, it appears that Raven Software have flagged his account for suspicious activity. The pro has sent out numerous tweets asking for this to be resolved , but so far nothing has happened.

He even brings up that he streamed Warzone for a year straight without any issues just his love and passion for the game. He doesnt want this to hurt his career and unnecessarily set him back.

Accounts have been falsely flagged in the past as a player was wrongly shadow banned for abusing planes to drop an insane K/D ratio every game. While this could be the case for MuTeX, we will need to wait for an official statement from the devs to either confirm or correct this decision.

Warzone pro MuTeX shadowbanned despite claiming to never break any rules - Dexerto

When the story of Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleisss arrest broke in June 1993, it simply didnt compute for writer Molly Lambert, who was growing up in Los Angeles at the time. Why was this woman being hassled for selling something people wanted to buy?

Its a question that runs through Lamberts new podcast, Heidi World. The 10-episode series, the first episode of which is out today, traces Fleisss rise to infamy: growing up the daughter of a progressive pediatrician-to-the-stars in crunchy Los Feliz, making a name for herself on the party-girl circuit, and, finally, becoming a powerful madam with a stable of hundreds of high-class escorts and an A-list black book (reportedly actually a red Gucci planner) of Hollywoods rich and powerfulbefore it all came crashing down.

Lambert spoke with ELLE.com about casting the pod with dozens of L.A. personalities, actors, and collaborators to bring the story to life (with the captivating actress Annie Hamilton voicing Fleiss); what media narratives about sex work miss; and why America still cant get over our hang-ups.

LEE JAMESON

I am from Los Angeles and I was a kid when the Heidi Fleiss scandal broke. It was a huge story, especially here in L.A., and just completely fascinating to me. I think it was just the first time that I was like, Oh, well, why is it illegal to sell sex? Especially in Hollywood, where we all know that everybody uses sex to sell stuff.

I was just kind of surprised nobody had really done a really deep dive into yet. Then when I started getting into the research, I was like, This is everything I'm interested in. It's a story about hypocrisy and money and sex and everything interesting.

I really wanted to make a podcast talking about the story in a pro-sex work way. I also just realized when the story happened, the media was sort of incapable of saying, Well, what if this werent criminalized? Why is this criminalized? They could never make the turn into asking that question. Or, instead of saying, Why does this happen? or, How can we stop this? Say, well, What if we actually protected the people that are selling sex? What if we acknowledge that sex is a thing that people want to buy and sell, and it's a consensually sold thing? How could we actually protect sex workers and make it a safe thing for them to do? instead of this American thing where we pretend, That doesn't happen here. People dont have sex outside of marriage and they certainly dont pay for it. Whereas yeah, we all know that does happen.

We're in this moment where people have to sell themselves more than ever. Everybody has to have five jobs and be a brand.

I also think just the media in the 90s, even in this allegedly progressive moment when everything was, Were going to be less sexist! Were going to be less racist now! than the 80s, it was still just very puritanical in this way, punishing Heidi for selling sex, but not punishing any of the men who bought sex.

I think now were in this moment where people have to sell themselves more than ever. Everybody has to have five jobs and be a sort of brand in a way. It all just seemed like a really good time to revisit the Heidi story from that kind of angle.

Because I was just shocked at how little had changed since this moment when the Heidi Fleiss scandal really drew attention to the fact that sex work was criminalized. There were people at the time saying, Hey, why is it criminalized? Why is this person being punished? I think now were in this momentwere in essentially a recession. I think more people have stuff like OnlyFans, side hustles that involve monetizing skills or monetizing selling aspects of yourself. But it is also being criminalized more than ever. The way in which apps and platforms de-platform sex workers and shadow-ban people for posting, not even obscene, just lightly sexual content. But people like Kylie Jenner can post whatever they want. Theres this incredible double standard still of, yeah, hot women are used to sell everything, especially on social media. But if hot women say, Hey, Im using this to sell my pictures or my videos or anything like that, it becomes Thats not OK. They dont want women to make money off of their own sexuality. But if we keep sex work criminalized, that allows for people like Mark Zuckerberg to be in control of who gets to sell what.

I think its more that its not changed as much as you would expect. Especially because that felt like such an inflection point of people being like, Hey, what if we didnt criminalize this? Also, just because the way in which the cops expected that everybody would side with them against Heidi. It was a couple years after the L.A. uprisings; I think people in L.A. were able to see that this was just a big publicity stunt by the cops, that it didnt fix any of the real problemsthis wasnt even a problem that anybody wanted fixed. It wasnt a problem at all. It was a consensual exchange. It just feels like so little has changed, but also, more than ever, we live in that world.

What I loved about her was that shes not who you would necessarily expect to be this incredible madam. People think of a madam as being sort of an older woman who is experienced in this. She was this Gen X, young, cool madam who understood implicitly how to market sex to these super-rich guys in Hollywood who wanted to buy sex. How to brand her escorts as being higher-end, more exclusive, better than everybody else, and how that worked. Because these were super-rich guys in Hollywood who wanted to spend all this money on sex. So I just thought that was so brilliant of her to brand it that way.

I think she just really understood how to sell stuff from a really young age. Shes this full hustler. I think all the great American stories are about hustlers and people who got one over on this system that's really rigid, one that says, you can climb as high as you want, advance as high as you want, but we all know that there are things in place to stop just anyone from doing that.

She was able just to make a name for herself just by talking her way into all of these situations, these guys in Hollywood completely vibed with her, because they were also all incredible hustlers, incredible talkers. I just found all of that interesting, and I guess as a podcaster, thats a little what Im doing too, being like, Hey, please listen to me.

Yeah, 100 percent, L.A. or Vegas. My dad says it should be the capital rather than D.C. And just looking at the way that the vice industries are so intertwined with the mainstream industries. Not just entertainment obviously, but everything has this kind of secret underground that we dont necessarily want to acknowledge, where any time it pops up and people have to be like, Oh, wait! Theres like this whole other world under the stuff we hear about.

Right, and Monica was the only one who really suffered any of the consequences of that scandal; she was slut-shamed by everybody. Bill Clinton got to come out looking like a cool guy, Hillary looked like a shrew. Its the misogyny that seeps into everything, and I think Heidi was aware of all of this. Again, I think it just backfired on the cops because they thought, Oh, were going to look like heroes for busting this person. Then, similarly to the OJ trial, it became a referendum on power and class and how things work in L.A. People sided against the cops, because nobody likes the LAPD, because theyre psychopaths.

I think Heidi became this folk hero for thumbing her nose at the LAPD, for refusing to play the game the way that it had been played. I think it just really speaks to our current moment in terms of where were at with fame and sex and social mediathis idea of, as long as youre watchable, thats all that matters.

They were saying Heidi was being exploited when she was doing sex work, even though she wasnt being exploited. She wasnt really exploiting her girls. That went against all these narratives of, Oh, well if someones doing sex work, they must have been coerced into it. Something bad must happen. It was like, No, its just a job and work is exploitative. Theres this patriarchal condescension of, Oh, well, they dont know any better. They dont know that its degrading for them to sell their bodies. Which again, the people who are saying that are the people who are buying.

I was just thinking about this yesterday, you used to have to pay money to see pictures of hot girls. Now you can just see it for free. Thats what Instagram is sellingpeople posting photos of themselves. Or selling take a look into my life, whether its sexual or not. But then being in this denial that they're selling anything.

Exactly! Thats the thing with social media and a lot of media: Sex workers are the first ones in, then the first ones to get punished when that thing becomes successful. Pornography is always the first thing to launch a new form of media.

What they tried to do with OnlyFans, where they were like, Oh, we're going to pivot away from sexualized adult content. I thought that was interesting, because people sided with the sex workers there. People sided with people who take nudes and lewds to pay their rent, because I think also more people than ever can imagine having to do something like that in order to make rent.

Just getting into the research, I realized there were so much quoting of people. People gave so many interviews. Heidi especially did a lot of profiles at the height of her notoriety, because I think she also was trying to control or take charge of her narrative once it started spinning out of her control. I thought it would be fun to cast a lot of people and see these characters. I was thinking of things like Inherent Vice, because its just also a story about these sort of unexpected ways in which all these powerful people know each other, kind of above the public line and below in this sort of underworld.

This content is imported from Instagram. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site.

I knew her through my friend, Naomi Fry. She posts these great Instagram Q&As, where she walks around New York and answers peoples questions. I just thought she had this great quality that Heidi has, of just, you cant look away. This person knows how to keep you interested and get you on the line with their charisma.

Its just so different. Its actually the woman who snitched on Heidi. One former Heidi Girl is now a right-wing political figure, who like a lot of right-wing political figures, is behind this movement to try to classify all sex work as trafficking. Right-wingers, but also liberals, lump everything in with trafficking. Trafficking is a crime. Trafficking is exploitative. Thats not what this was at all.

This was all women who wanted to do sex work. A lot of them were failed actresses who needed money. Or aspiring model actress types who... None of it was coerced. Nobody was getting forced to do anything. I think that idea is just still really hard for people to swallow, because theres this baked in idea that, if somebody does sex work, its because theyre down and out. I think if you talk to any sex workers, you see that that's not what it is.

I wrote a piece a long time ago about the porn awards, the AVN Awards, that was the first time I sort of saw the way sex workers were all in the gig economy, that nobody could just have one job, everybody has to have five jobs now and sell off whatever assets they have in order to make rent. I think its a time of extremes, and the mainstream media still portrays this narrative that sex work as this very degrading, exploitative thing, but somehow working at an Amazon warehouse where you have to piss in a jar is okay. Of course, there are exploitative forms of work, but sex work isnt automatically exploitative. Again, its just so nuanced, its hard for people to talk about, I think. Its so easy to railroad people.

I really think she foretold the social media world, where it doesnt matter what you do as long as people are looking at you. She didnt set out to become famous; her being famous ruined her life and her business. I also think theres this thing that happens in culture where, if a woman wants attention, people are like, Well, lets give her attention. Lets attention her to death. Which I also think is really what happened with Monica Lewinsky: Oh, you wanted people to look at you? Well, now were all looking at you and were never going to stop.

Heidi was just so smart that once she became famous, she found ways to monetize it, using her own notoriety to be like, Well, all these people in the media are making money off of me, how can I use it to make money off of this story? Now, for better and worse, thats the world we live in. As long as you can keep peoples attention, thats all that really matters.

Molly Lambert on 'Heidi World' and the Heidi Fleiss Scandal - ELLE

"They shouldn't down be here". John Dyer, our tour guide for the day and lifelong resident of Tregavethan, pulls over to the left-hand side of the road as several large vans attempt to drive through an extremely narrow lane framed by tall hedges and trees.

In the Tregavethan valley, this is a daily spectacle. Despite a "quiet lanes" scheme prohibiting motorised traffic, except for access, the area is almost only known as the rat run between Shortlanesend and the Royal Cornwall Hospital.

The valley has an impressive network of rural lanes. It is also dotted with tiny hamlets so, with John's help, we decided to discover this rather unknown part of Cornwall which is hiding in the shadow of Truro.

Read more: The village that refuses to shut down out of loyalty to locals

Tregavethan is part of the Kenwyn parish which, itself, only has a few thousand inhabitants. According to its residents, it is the best of both worlds. On the one hand you can enjoy nature, miles and miles of fields, its wooded areas and its fords, but on the other hand you are also within a couple of miles from the city, its hospital and its retail parks.

It is a world where driving is slow, where reversing skills have to be flawless and where a tarmacked road is considered a main road.

John, parish councillor for the area, has lived in the valley his whole life. He only moved three times and lived at Treworder, across the valley, and Threemilestone. The eldest of eight children, he has been dedicating most of his life to farming as well as parish and Cornwall Council duties.

"I'm supposed to be retired, but farmers don't retire, they merely go to heaven with their boots on," the 79-year-old said. "The hamlets have changed in my lifetime. They were named after farms in the area.

"What you name Tregavethan is something that was created in my lifetime after Tregavethan postal round. There are families that have been around for generations - since the 1700s.

"The valley is still lived in by the farming folk and the other houses are owned by people who like living in the countryside in the fringes of Truro. People here principally work in Truro, at the hospital or County Hall."

John remembers his grandfather, a dairy farmer who retired in the 1950s, doing his milk round in the valley, first with a small horse, then with a Vauxhall.

And, actually, although Truro is extremely popular and the area between the train station and Chiverton Cross keeps expanding, the valley, on the other side of the A390, has not changed much in the last few decades.

"It's because of the steepness of the valley," John explained. "It's not economic to build here. I remember when Threemilestone was a hamlet three miles out of town."

So we got into John's car and he drove us around the hamlets of Tregavethan. They are so close to Truro, and yet, we had never heard of most of them before. We saw Little Canaan, Boscolla - we counted ten houses there - and Newmill. Most properties around the area are either working farms or converted barns, farms and even chapels. Most have the most spectacular valley views.

John also took us to the site of Tregavethan Manor, which burnt down in the 1800s.

"The manor house burnt down and they took the remaining stones from the walls and with horses and carts they took them where Causilgey Manor now is," John explained.

During the World War 1, Causilgey Manor became one of the 247 Womens Land Army training centres set up around England and Wales. Called Tregavethan Farm at the time, it welcomed trainees who were willing to do land work while men were away. There, they learnt agriculture, timber cutting or forage.

The valley is full of history. Close to Treliske, we spotted Penventinnie Round, an Iron Age fort standing in the hillside.

Continuing our tour, John explained that, to live in the valley, you have got to have a bike or a car.

"There are no buses here," he said. "Cars must be robust with these lanes. It's only the likes of me who know the lanes, where they go and where they are.

"I think they should be tarmacked to make them more appropriate. You can't really have 'damn nice cars' here. I can't see that if you've got a nice Bentley, like the Queen has got, you would drive down these lanes."

The main issue in the valley is obviously traffic. The lanes are narrow and traffic is effectively not allowed for most people.

"The police don't come here very often. There is too much traffic, particularly at rush hour when drivers try to find a shortcut. What I call the rat runners charge through the lanes because it's a shortcut to Treliske, Truro College, etc. They take a chance."

The 'Quiet Lanes' scheme has been in place since September. Its aim is to make a 15km (just under ten-mile) network of roads safer for people wanting to walk and cycle in the area by banning through traffic. According to recent monitoring, around 200 vehicles use the lanes during peak hours.

Only residents and their visitors, as well as companies delivering to properties within the zone, are allowed to use the lanes during the six-month trial. You can read more about this here.

But, when traffic is quiet, one can only admire the beauty of the valley. It is, after all, truly the best of both worlds.

The Cornwall hamlets hiding in the shadow of Truro - Cornwall Live

(AP) The nonprofit that distributed most of the $350 million in donations from Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg to election offices in 2020 said Monday that it wont disburse similar donations this year after backlash from conservatives suspicious that the contributions tilted the outcome of the presidential race toward Joe Biden.

Instead, the Center for Technology and Civic Life is launching a different program. Dubbed the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence, the $80-million, five-year effort is intended to create a network for the nations thousands of local election officials, who can apply for aid to improve their technology and processes.

Unfortunately, years of underinvestment means many local election departments often have limited capacity and training. The U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence is bringing together world-class partners so that local election officials no longer have to go it alone, said Tiana Epps-Johnson, CTCLs executive director, who announced the new program at the TED2022 conference.

The 2020 effort by Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, amid the COVID-19 pandemic fueled conservative anger and distrust of the presidential election outcome. At least eight GOP-controlled states passed laws last year banning private donations to election offices in reaction to Zuckerbergs donations. Suspicion that the contributions routinely referred to as Zuckerbucks by conservatives helped Biden, a Democrat, has become a staple among those who believe in former President Donald Trumps election lies.

Several Republican election officials have said the program was vital and nonpartisan and dismissed criticism of it as conspiracy theories.

A spokesperson for Zuckerberg and Chan confirmed that the couple is not funding election offices this year.

As Mark and Priscilla made clear previously, their election infrastructure donation to help ensure that Americans could vote during the height of the pandemic was a one-time donation given the unprecedented nature of the crisis, Ben LaBolt said. They have no plans to repeat that donation.

Epps-Johnson said the group saw in 2020 just how woefully underfunded many local election offices are.

Elections in the U.S. are run at the local level, sometimes by a small staff of city or county workers and volunteers. One New England office, Epps-Johnson said, used its 2020 grant to replace century-old election tabulation equipment, and many struggled to maintain usable websites that could provide voters information on mobile devices.

The network will work with technology experts at Stanford University and elsewhere, Epps-Johnson said. Local election offices will be able to apply for assistance, but things will work differently than two years ago.

In 2020, election offices were scrambling to switch to mail voting as the pandemic made traditional polling places harder to maintain. Negotiations over additional money for election offices collapsed amid partisan acrimony in Washington. In late August of that year, Zuckerberg announced his donations, and CTCL swiftly distributed the funds to 2,500 election offices for a wide range of expenses, including new ballot counting equipment, pickup trucks to haul voting machines and public relations campaigns advertising new ways to cast ballots.

Conservatives were immediately skeptical. Many have long distrusted Zuckerberg, believing he uses his social media platform to help Democrats. CTCL is a nonpartisan group respected by election administrators of both parties, but its founders have roots in liberal politics. And although the grants went to conservative and liberal areas, Democratic-leaning counties received a disproportionate share of the money in battleground states like Florida and Pennsylvania.

CTCL has spent much of the time since the 2020 contests pushing for greater government funding of election offices, saying that would be better than another round of private donations. The nonprofit was encouraged by Bidens request for $10 billion in election funding in the federal budget he released last month.

Still, the movement fueled by Trumps false claims of widespread voter fraud has latched onto the 2020 donations as one of its many grievances over how the election was conducted. For example, at Colorados GOP Assembly on Saturday, candidate after candidate referred to Zuckerberg and Zuckerbucks as they claimed the election was stolen from Republicans.

Mark Zuckerberg and his shadow forces should never be in charge of our elections, said Tina Peters, a county clerk under indictment for her role in the illegal download of voting software last year that was provided to Trump supporters. She made the comments to the crowd in Colorado Springs as she advanced to the partys primary ballot for the states top elections office, secretary of state.

Zuckerberg money won't be in next round of aid for elections - The Business Journal

Republicans are plotting out their messaging strategy in case the Supreme Court overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade decision authorizing abortion rights.

The GOP strategy is to lead with science-based arguments and portray those in favor of abortion rights as extremists.

The Republican Study Committee, the largest conservative caucus in the House, sent amessaging memolast week that advised members to communicate the message that the Left holds the extremist position on abortion.

Todays Left believes in a position even more extreme than Roe: taxpayer-funded abortion, on demand, until birth, said the memo, firstreportedby National Review.

The Left disregards the health and safety of women and makes false claims that the pro-life movement does nothing for mothers, it added, citing a rise in emergency room visits related to chemical abortion pills over the last few decades.

It also put a focus on advances in science and understanding of fetal viability since 1973.

Share what we know about the humanity of unborn babies. Roe was based on outdated science, the memo said.

The Supreme Court could overturn Roe v. Wade when it considers the constitutionality of a Mississippi law prohibiting abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy in Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health.

It is doing so even though Supreme Court precedent prohibits states from banning abortions before viability, which is generally considered to be around 23 to 24 weeks into pregnancy

If the landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion is overturned, much of the most consequential legislative and policy movement will happen in states with Republican control that will have new authority to restrict abortion procedures.

It also has the potential to shake up the midterm elections, when Republicans hope to win back majorities in the House and Senate.

Pro-abortion rights advocates warn that restricting access will disproportionally impact low-income women and put them at risk of seeking unsafe, unsanctioned abortions. A dozen states have trigger laws that would ban abortions if Roe is overturned,accordingto the Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights.

In many states, like Maryland, it will make no practical difference if Roe is overturned this June, since overturning Roe wont ban abortions it will just allow regulation at the state level, where it should be, said Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), an anesthesiologist and a co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus. In other states, where abortion will have some limits, you will see women finally having real choices, as pregnancy centers and other support services will grow to help women in crisis pregnancies choose life with the community help they need.

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the anti-abortion Susan B. Anthony List,spoke to GOP House membersat a Republican Study Committee lunch last week about being prepared to lead on the issue, The Daily Wire reported. The press will turn to national Republicans to get their perspective if Roe is overturned, she said, and their constituents will also turn to them to get more information about abortion laws and alternate options in their states.

Members of the Susan B. Anthony Lists federal affairs team are also working directly with members of Congress to ensure maximum preparedness for a post-Roe environment.

Weve been engaged in a decades-long education battle to make Americans aware about this reality, because that doesnt jive with the majority of Americans, said Mallory Carroll, vice president of communications for the group.

Polls consistently find that Americans think the Supreme Court should not overturn Roe v. Wade. A 2021 Galluppollfound that 58 percent of Americans said that the ruling should stay in place.

But Americans answers get more nuanced when they are asked about the specifics of when abortion should be allowed. A recent Wall Street Journalpollfound that 48 percent of voters supported restrictions on abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, with 43 percent opposed.

The action is going to be immediately focused in the states, but I think it would behoove federal lawmakers to have their own policy agenda in mind for what they plan to advocate for at the federal level, Carroll said.

Anti-abortion legislation is extremely unlikely to pass the Democratic-controlled House and Senate this year, and President Biden would likely veto any anti-abortion bill that came to his desk. But Republicans have teed up a number of messaging bills an abortion that could come up if the GOP takes back the House in 2022. Such bills could set the stage for major changes if Republicans win control of Congress and the White House in a few years.

If the Supreme Court overturns Roe, that could open the door for Congress to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act, which would prohibit abortions after 20 weeks.Another proposedbillwould require that a child who survives an attempted abortion receive the same standard of care as any other child.

Rep. Chris Smith (R-N.J.), another co-chair of the Congressional Pro-Life Caucus, has a bill called the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act that would make permanent the restrictions on federal money funding abortions that are usually tacked on to annual appropriations bills each year with the Hyde amendment.

Republicans are keeping the focus on the issue in various ways.

Last week, dozens of House Republicanssigned a letterled by Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.), vice chairman of the House Republican Conference, demanding that the House change its vendor for member-issued credit cards after Citigroup said it would pay travel costs for employees seeking abortions.

The Dobbs case presents the best opportunity in decades to finally correct the tragedy of Roe and return this fateful policy decision to the states where it always belonged, Johnson said in a statement. House Republicans will continue to fight for the sanctity of human life, defend the defenseless, and hold the Biden Administration accountable for any attempt to impede the policy decisions of pro-life states.

Republican women will likely be key to the partys messaging strategy if Roe is overturned. In a House hearing last year, Rep. Kat Cammack (R-Fla.) shared a story about how she would not be here if her mother followed a doctors advice to have an abortion. She was the GOP answer to three Democratic women Reps. Cori Bush (Mo.), Pramila Jayapal (Wash.), and Barbara Lee (Calif.) sharing their own personal stories about getting abortions.
