New York law requiring social media companies to deter hate speech on their platforms likely doesn’t violate the First Amendment because companies aren’t required to adhere to the state’s definition of “hateful conduct,” the state’s high court concluded Tuesday.......

A reader wonders why there are no clothing shops for children and teens here:
Response: There have been such businesses here. The operative words are "have been". Groovy on Grand closed after a multi-year run in 2013 (CLICK HERE FOR MORE)
More recently, LIL SPROUTS closed just last year.
And throughout the years, there have been numerous businesses that catered to this demographic without success. I leave it you to ascertain why that is.
