Social media influencer Braden Peters, known online as “Clavicular,” faces Massachusetts charges of rape, drugging a person for sexual intercourse, and providing alcohol to someone under 21, stemming from an alleged May 2025 incident involving a 17-year-old. Peters’ representative says he denies the allegations; he is scheduled to be arraigned on Oct. 14. Peters is known for “looksmaxxing” content focused on extreme efforts to alter physical appearance.

Reports say Italy’s data protection regulator fined Meta €805 million over Facebook’s access to Android users’ photos and videos without clear notice or consent, and ordered the feature disabled by default pending separate consent.
