Australia is among the vanguard of nations trying to clean up social media, and the proposed age limit would be among the world’s strictest measures aimed at children. The proposed laws, which were presented to parliament last week, would also include robust privacy provisions that require tech platforms to delete any age-verification information collected. The government is trying to approve the law this week, before parliament breaks for the rest of the year. Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, said in its submission the ban would “fail” in its current form because there was not enough consultation with stakeholders. “More…
DEVELOPING STORYDEVELOPING STORY, US president-elect says measures will remain until countries stamp out illegal border crossings and drug trafficking.United States President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to slap a 25 percent tariff on all goods from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10 percent on Chinese products in response to illegal border crossings and drug trafficking.

It’s not been the inaugural season that Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer had expected in Tuscaloosa. After losing to Oklahoma, 24-3, this past weekend, the Crimson Tide are 8-3 and likely now on the outside looking in at the College Football Playoffs.It was always going to be tough to replace Nick Saban — who brought six championships to Tuscaloosa and won another with LSU — but this has been a worst-case scenario for DeBoer.Saban lost some big games, but he never would have dared to lose to Vanderbilt, a team that has been scrappy but is barely even bowl-eligible in…

Google called the group “young leaders” because they’re currently in leadership positions or aspire to hold one at work.The survey found that 93% of Gen Z respondents from 22 to 27 years old are using two or more AI tools like ChatGPT or…
The H5N1 bird flu virus has caused sporadic cases in humansLuca Bruno/Associated Press/Alamy If the H5N1 bird flu virus sparks a pandemic, older people may have better immunity than younger people because of past exposure to closely related viruses. In previous clusters of H5N1 cases, older people were less likely to catch the virus than younger individuals, so scientists hypothesised that the former group may have stronger immunity against the virus than those who are younger. This could be because older people have had more exposure to flu strains that are closely related to H5N1, called H1N1 and H2N2.… Source…

Virtual- and augmented-reality setups already modify the way users see and hear the world around them. Add in haptic feedback for a sense of touch and a VR version of Smell-O-Vision, and only one major sense remains: taste.To fill the gap, researchers at the City University of Hong Kong have developed a new interface to simulate taste in virtual and other extended reality (XR). The group previously worked on other systems for wearable interfaces, such as haptic and olfactory feedback. To create a more “immersive VR experience,” they turned to adding taste sensations, says Yiming Liu, a coauthor of the…

Credit: Wikimedia Commons Since her defeat in the presidential race, Kamala Harris has been lying low, spending time with family and senior aides in Hawaii before returning to Washington, D.C. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t gearing up to get back into the political arena. Despite her public silence, Harris has been actively instructing her advisers and allies to keep her political options open. That means the possibility of a 2028 presidential run or a bid for the governorship in California in 2026. Aides to the Vice President indicate there is no reason to rush her next moves, asserting she…
