Tim Walz Signed Law Protecting Pedophiles from Discrimination?
No Protection for Pedophiles
In a previous fact-check on the same topic from PolitiFact, published in May 2023 when Walz signed the Take Pride Act, legal experts confirmed that the law would not protect pedophiles from discrimination in any way.
"No court in the country has or would ever say that a law protecting people from discrimination based on their sexual orientation extends to protecting pedophilia," Brian Soucek, a law professor at the University of California, Davis, told PolitiFact.
Snopes should be more careful about making the headline a true statement (e.g., "Tim Walz did not..." or "False: Tim Walz signed...").

Yeah, that's why I started adding the key takeaways from the articles to the post description when there is any ambiguity. Their headlines can be a bit clickbaity at times, but I'd rather keep them unaltered.
You can still edit the title of the post, a simple - Fake news: - will do. Sometimes people using the apps can't read the community of the post but just the title.
