Two of the most popular sites on the internet just entered the gun-control debate.

In a sweeping move, Reddit banned all transactions involving firearms from its site Wednesday--just days after Google-owned YouTube quietly noted it would enforce tighter restrictions on certain videos that involve weapons.

YouTube on Monday posted updates to its policies noting it would ban videos promoting or linking to sites that sell guns and related accessories, as well as videos with instructions on how to assemble firearms, starting in April. Reddit's move prohibits the sale or trade on the site of guns, ammunition, alcohol, and controlled substances such as alcohol and tobacco. The site also banned an array of transactions involving sex, personal information, stolen goods, and falsified documents.

What is it?

March for Our Lives is a demonstration created and organized by #NeverAgain, a group of students who survived the February 14 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Everytown for Gun Safety, a gun control advocacy group, is helping the students plan and coordinate the event.
After the shooting at Stoneman Douglas -- the eighth mass school shooting this year -- organizers are calling on lawmakers to address the issue of gun violence in American schools by implementing comprehensive gun control legislation.
According to a petition on the event's website, March for Our Lives has three primary demands:
- Pass a law to ban the assault weapons frequently used to carry out mass shootings
- Stop the sale of high-capacity magazines, restricting the amount of ammunition
- Close loopholes in America's background checks and implement laws that require background checks on every gun purchase, including those that occur online or at gun shows

When is it?

The main march will take place in Washington on Saturday, March 24. It will kick off at noon, when participants gather on Pennsylvania Avenue, just blocks away from the Capitol.
Hundreds of sister marches are also taking place across the country and around the world.

Who's participating?

The march in Washington is being led by #NeverAgain, which was started in the aftermath of the massacre by student survivors like Cameron Kasky and Emma Gonzalez. However, they're encouraging students, faculty, families and supporters from all over the country to join them.
The student activists have also attracted significant star power to lend voices to the cause.
Singer Jennifer Hudson said on Twitter she was "proud to stand with these brave students" and appeared to confirm she would join marchers in Washington.
Marchers are also expecting other celebrities to attend the event. Pop stars Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato will attend the march in Washington, said David Hogg, a senior at Stoneman Douglas and event organizer. Representatives for the singers have not confirmed their plans to CNN.

How's the march being funded?

Organizers have raised money through donations made to the March for Our Lives Action Fund, according to the event's website.
They've also raised more than $3 million through a GoFundMe campaign. Half of that money will be used to cover expenses for the Washington march, the campaign says. The other half will go to the families of the Parkland shooting victims.
Celebrities -- including Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney and Steven Spielberg -- have offered financial help to the march organizers. Each of them donated $500,000 to the event's fund last month.

Willkommen im Zeitalter von Amazon Echo, Google Assistant und Co...

Unterstützung bekommt ein solcher Schritt [Netzsperren] vom Bundesverband Erotik Handel, zu dessen Mitgliedern unter anderem das deutsche Erotikunternehmen Beate Uhse gehört. Erst im April hatte der Verband eine Kampagne gegen die Konkurrenz durch YouPorn und Co. gestartet. "Nach wie vor ist die kostenlose und völlig uneingeschränkte Verbreitung von Pornografie über das Internet das Hauptproblem für den legalen Handel in Deutschland", heißt es auf der Website des Verbandes. Dies könne nur durch die Durchsetzung von Netzsperren erreicht werden, argumentieren die Erotikanbieter.
