East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel Jr., a potential first-round pick, declared for the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday. Revel, who sustained a torn left ACL in practice in September, had one season of eligibility remaining. "After an incredible journey at East Carolina, I am officially declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft," the senior posted on social media. "... Pirates nation, thank you for your unwavering energy and support every game. Representing ECU is an honor, and I look forward to continuing to do so on Sundays!" Revel recorded two interceptions in three games this season, returning one 50 yards for a touchdown on Sept. 14 against Appalachian State. Over three seasons with the Pirates, Revel had three interceptions, 15 passes defensed and 70 tackles in 24 games. He was a second-team All-American Athletic Conference selection last season. ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. ranked Revel as the No. 2 cornerback and No. 23 overall prospect in the 2025 draft class. --Field Level Media

Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of X, formerly Twitter, on Saturday, said that she and the company are urging for the passage of KOSA after the bill text had been updated to address some concerns: At X, protecting our children is our top priority. As I’ve always said, freedom of speech and safety can and must coexist. And as a mother, it’s personal. When X testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee last January, we committed to working with Congress on child safety legislation. We’ve heard the pleas of parents and youth advocates who seek sensible guardrails across online platforms, and the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA) addresses that need. After working with the bill authors, I’m proud to share that we’ve made progress to further protect freedom of speech while maintaining safety for minors online. Thank you to @MarshaBlackburn and @SenBlumenthal for your leadership, dedication and collaboration on this issue and landmark legislation. We urge Congress and the House to pass the Kids Online Safety Act this year. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) has led the led the push to pass the legislation. The Kids Online Safety Act aims to empower parents to take control over children’s online experiences to protect their health and well-being, and the Open App Markets Act, a bill that would break up the Apple and Google app store duopoly. The Kids Online Safety Act passed in the Senate with an overwhelming 91-3 vote, and now advocates hope to get it through the House. It faces an uncertain fate, as Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) oppose the bill, as currently written. On Tuesday, advocates plan to hold a rally on Tuesday to have it pass through Congress’s lower chamber. This includes: Representative Gus Bilirakis (R-FL-12) Matthew Allaire, Design It For Us Advocate Tracy Ann Bancroft, Parent Advocate, Eating Disorders Coalition for Research, Policy, & Action Shamail Henderson, Victim/Survivor of Online Sex Trafficking Vanessa Li, Policy Officer for the American Youth Association and Design It For Us Advocate Cheryl McCormick Brown, Mother of Mckenna Brown, Forever 16 Erin Popolo, Mother of Emily Murillo, Forever 17 Shama Reed, Mother of Shamail Henderson Mary Rodee, Mother of Riley Basford, Forever 15 Blackburn told Breitbart News Daily in 2023 that the legislation would “disable some of these tracking features that push addictive products and behavior. And also it requires the social media platforms to be transparent with their algorithmic black boxes, to open these up.” Sean Moran is a policy reporter for Breitbart News.
