As Colorado reeled from one of the worst wildfires in its history, President Trump seemed to be focused on MAGA warrior Tina Peters. Peters was a top election official who used her position to chase Mr. Trump's baseless claim that rigged voting machines cost him the 2020 election. She was sentenced to nearly nine years behind bars, and Mr. Trump was determined to see her freed by Colorado Gov. Jared Polis. cbsn.ws/4e0jpga

Tina Peters was convicted and imprisoned in connection with compromising voting machines in Colorado. President Trump warned on social media: “If she is not released, I’m going to take harsh measures.” Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser says he believes the Trump administration denied the state federal wildfire aid as punishment. The White House insists denying wildfire aid had nothing to do with Peters. Spokesperson Lauren Bis said, “There is no politicization to the president’s decisions on disaster relief.” cbsn.ws/4iE5ij7

The NBA season began and basketball stars are looming large — some of them more than others, like Victor Wembanyama, the 7-foot-4-inch forward-center for the San Antonio Spurs. @jon_wertheim reports next Sunday.

“If [social media companies] know what breakfast cereal I'm eating, if they know what my regular run in the morning looks like, I'm pretty sure they can work out who's 13 and who's 16 pretty easily,” says Peter Malinauskas, who pushed for Australia’s social media ban for children under 16. Meta, TikTok and Snap told 60 Minutes that they take child safety and the Australia ban seriously. cbsn.ws/4jFjzgH

“We haven't seen the kind of compliance I would have hoped for from the social media platforms. We know they have the technology to do that,” says Julie Inman Grant, who is in charge of enforcing Australia’s social media ban for children under 16. In the first three months of the ban, 50% of children under 16 who still held accounts said they hadn’t even been asked to confirm their age, her office says.

Australia is taking on the world’s biggest social media companies, requiring them to keep kids under 16 off their platforms. “That's how we roll here in Australia. We like to punch above our weight,” says Wayne Holdsworth, who tells kids about the hazards of social media by sharing the story of his late son Mac. cbsn.ws/4iCXHRY

In the first three months of Australia’s social media ban, the number of 10- to 15-year-olds holding at least one account on age-restricted social media fell by around 20%, according to research from Australia’s online safety watchdog. Less than a year later, the effects on children’s lives are still playing out. cbsn.ws/4Bnc4RX

Peter Malinauskas, premier of South Australia — a state of fewer than 2 million people — set out to take on Big Tech by restricting children under 16 from using social media. “If people are on your side, you can achieve anything, and I was pretty confident that parents were on our side on this one,” he says. cbsn.ws/47ElgUk

This is what it should look like when children under 16 try to access social media accounts in Australia. By law, social media companies must take “reasonable steps” to prevent children under 16 from opening or holding accounts. Companies must check users’ ages or risk hefty penalties. cbsn.ws/47KnOAi

Former Colorado election official Tina Peter ordered security cameras be turned off and gave an outsider fake credentials. 60 Minutes’ Bill Whitaker asks her: “Did you break the law?” cbsn.ws/4exx5PT

“Show me the evidence that the paper ballot results differed from the computerized results,” 60 Minutes’ Bill Whitaker asks Tina Peters, the former Colorado election official who served time for her role in a voting machine breach. “My place is not to show, you know, pick out different things and what-- what could have happened,” Peters says. “I was authorized to protect the election records according to 52USC.70201.” cbsn.ws/3W6ZKFb

“Has Tina Peters shown that she's taken responsibility for what she did?” 60 Minutes’ Bill Whitaker asks Colorado Gov. Jared Polis, who commuted her sentence. “I hope that she understands that what she did was wrong,” Polis responds. Since her release, she is back on the election denial circuit. cbsn.ws/3WudOsq

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis commuted Tina Peters' sentence and set her free. The Colorado County Clerks Association said they were furious and disgusted. “This was a nonviolent, elderly, first-time offender who got a longer sentence than she should've. Straightforward case,” Polis tells 60 Minutes. cbsn.ws/4yBNNVv

“[The president] has much more ability to spread disinformation and lies about our election process than we do to spread the truth about what really happens,” says Matt Crane, a Republican, who leads the Colorado County Clerks Association. cbsn.ws/4iiRI3o

“When someone seeks to undermine the integrity of our elections, lying about it, that's not a patriotic act. That's undermining the core, the foundation of a democratic republic,” says Colorado’s Attorney General Phil Weiser, responding to President Trump calling Tina Peters a “patriot.” cbsn.ws/4BwVDTg

“You are no hero. You abused your position, and you’re a charlatan,” Judge Matthew Barrett told former election official Tina Peters. She was convicted in a scheme to breach the very voting system she swore to protect. She was sentenced to nearly nine years in prison. Peters says she was trying to protect election data. cbsn.ws/4zkM3kw
