Twitch is now letting parents keep their under-18s from becoming streamers. But there’s … – Tubefilter

As social media platforms face more and more crackdowns worldwide banning teens from engaging with social media, Twitch has rolled out a new parental control setting that could keep minors from going live. Now, to be clear, Twitch–like most social platforms–already prevents anyone under age 13 from making an account and/or becoming a streamer. It’s taken action to enforce that rule in the past, perhaps most notably with H1ghSky1, a Fortnite streamer who joined FaZe Clan and began streaming when he was 12 years old. After Twitch banned his account, H1ghSky1 swapped over to streaming on YouTube, which does allow under-13s to have their own accounts, as long as those accounts are (at least supposedly) supervised by a parent.

Some have additional barriers in place that keep teens from seeing things like NSFW content. An increasing number of platforms, including Roblox , Discord , and Bluesky , are requiring additional age verification to be sure under-18s aren’t accessing risqué material, and to help prevent them from being preyed upon by

Adobe Acrobat Chrome extension bug enabled silent WhatsApp data theft – Security Affairs

Adobe patched CVE-2026-48294, a flaw in Adobe Acrobat Chrome extension that could let attackers steal WhatsApp Web chats by luring users to a webpage. Guardio Labs researcher Shaked Biner disclosed HermeticReader, a vulnerability chain in the Adobe Acrobat Chrome extension that allowed any attacker-controlled webpage to silently steal a visitor’s WhatsApp chats, contacts, profile name, and message previews in plain text. The extension sits on roughly 329 million browsers. No malware, no phished password, no compromised session cookie — just visiting the wrong page was enough. “Read the prerequisites list of this exploit chain and the discomfort sets in: no malware is installed, no password is phished, no session cookie is touched. There is no zero-day in WhatsApp.” reads the report published by Guardio Labs. “The attacker needs no Adobe account and no foothold on the machine. Only for the victim to visit a simple attacker-controlled static page.” The attack chains three separate flaws in the extension’s internal messaging system. None of them are dramatic on their own. Together they hand an attacker full DOM control over an open WhatsApp Web tab. The first flaw is that the extension’s web-accessible resource pages, frame.html, searchWidget.html, and others, can be embedded as

Civic Heroes Camp at TROY teaches history, government and how to be a good citizen

More than 15 middle school students learned about good citizenship and American history during the annual Civic Heroes Camp hosted by Troy University’s Office of Civic Engagement from July 13-17. At Civic Heroes summer camp, fourth through sixth grade campers become superheroes-in-training and build their own communities, run their cities and help their neighbors. Campers also participate in creative games, activities and civic lessons that teach about what it means to be a good citizen. The campers were visited by a new community hero each day, including a police officer and his K-9 companion, City of Troy firefighters and Common Ground Executive Director Clint free. “We train them up to be little superheroes in their communities,” said Tori Elmore, program advisor for the Office of Civic Engagement. “We know that it’s summer, so we want to make what we do teach them very fun and engaging. We ultimately want them to understand that they play a huge role in their community, even at a young age.” The last day of Civic Heroes Camp featured a birthday party for America’s 250th birthday. In recognition of America’s milestone birthday, camp volunteers threw a 250th birthday party complete with a Constitutional Convention and Founding Father hats. Throughout the

WhatsApp Is Finally Fixing One of Its Biggest iPad Frustrations – Yahoo Tech

whatsapp is finally fixing one of its biggest ipad frustrations, Photo Credit WhatsApp Photo Credit: WhatsApp WhatsApp now lets users sign up for an account directly from an iPad using a username, marking another clear move away from the service's older dependence on phone-number-linked access. The change gives iPad users a more independent registration path than simply treating the tablet as a companion device tied to a phone number. The important limitation remains registration. Users still need a phone number to receive a one-time passcode during initial setup. After that step, however, the iPad account is not tied to the phone number as a companion device in the way WhatsApp users have traditionally expected. That distinction matters because WhatsApp has long treated phone numbers as central to identity and access. Usernames only became an option for WhatsApp a few weeks ago, so the iPad sign-up change extends a recent shift rather than standing as an isolated app update. WhatsApp catches up on platform basics Usernames are standard across many social and messaging platforms, but WhatsApp has moved more slowly in some platform areas. That timing underlines how late the Meta-owned messaging service was to Apple's tablet line. Apple debuted the
