GB News: Australia passes social media ban for under-16s with companies facing £25m non-compliance fines
Australia passes social media ban for under-16s with companies facing £25m non-compliance fines
Australia has passed legislation banning children under 16 from accessing social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook, with companies facing fines of up to A$50 million for non-compliance. The law aims to protect young Australians from social media harms and will take effect in 12 months, allowing time for tech companies to adapt.

The legislation has garnered support from many parents but has faced criticism from tech companies and digital researchers regarding its effectiveness and privacy concerns. Other countries are observing Australia's approach, with some considering similar measures to regulate youth access to social media.

Times Of Israel: Increasingly flexible Hamas said open to temporary IDF presence at Gaza-Egypt border
Increasingly flexible Hamas said open to temporary IDF presence at Gaza-Egypt border
Hamas is reportedly showing more flexibility in ceasefire negotiations with Israel, potentially agreeing to a temporary IDF presence along the Gaza-Egypt border. This shift follows the death of former leader Yahya Sinwar and a reevaluation of their strategy amid weakened support from allies.

US and Egyptian officials are involved in efforts to mediate a ceasefire, with Hamas possibly willing to compromise on its demands. Meanwhile, the humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with the World Health Organization calling for increased aid access as shortages of essential supplies worsen.
