Debt collectors can now DM you on social media

Debt collectors are now allowed to slide into your DMs.
New financial regulations went into effect on Tuesday allowing debt collectors to contact people via their social media accounts. In essence, that means your Twitter and Facebook Messenger accounts could soon receive messages from debt collectors seeking to track down an unpaid bill.
This could impact tens of millions of Americans, given that one-third of U.S. adults with a credit report has a debt in collections.

Robert Morris, founding pastor of Gateway Church, a megachurch in Southlake, Texas, has been indicted on five counts of lewd or indecent acts with a child, stemming from alleged incidents dating back to the 1980s, the Oklahoma attorney general's office announced Wednesday. We are aware of the actions being taken by the legal authorities in Oklahoma and are grateful for the work of the justice system in holding abusers accountable for their actions. We continue to pray for Cindy Clemishire and her family, for the members and staff of Gateway Church, and for all of those impacted by this terrible situation.
