Updated / Monday, 2 Feb 2026 10:24 Platforms including Snapchat, Meta, TikTok and YouTube must stop underage users from holding accounts under the legislation, which came into effect on 10 December Snapchat has blocked 415,000 accounts under Australia's social media ban for under-16s, the company has said, but warned some youngsters may be bypassing age verification technology. The platform urged the Australian authorities to oblige app stores to check users' ages as an "additional safeguard" for the world-first crackdown. Platforms including Snapchat, Meta, TikTok and YouTube must stop underage users from holding accounts under the legislation, which came into effect on 10 December. Companies face fines of Aus$49.5 million (€28.6m) if they fail to take "reasonable steps" to comply. Australia's eSafety online regulator reported last month that tech giants had already blocked 4.7 million accounts, delivering "significant outcomes". As of the end of January, Snapchat said it had blocked or disabled 415,000 Snapchat accounts in Australia belonging to under-16s. "We continue to lock more accounts daily," it said in an online statement. But the law leaves "significant gaps", Snapchat said, arguing that age estimation technology was only accurate to within two to three years. "In practice, this means some young

Elon Musk during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Jan. 22, 2026. Photo by Harun Ozalp/Anadolu via Getty Images. Elon Musk once called a caver involved in the rescue mission to save youth soccer players and their coach a “pedo guy.” He’s suggested the presence of transgender characters in a Netflix show amounts to “grooming our children.” He’s launched weeks-long crusades focused only on Pakistani sex abuse gangs in the UK, and not sexual-abuse scandals that may hit closer to home. He tweeted over the summer that Donald Trump “is in the Epstein files,” and that’s why the administration wouldn’t release its trove of documents relating to notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The Tesla CEO makes multiple appearances in the latest batch of the Epstein files – in emails that suggest Musk’s past claim that he had “REFUSED” to go to Epstein’s island, despite the disgraced financier’s insistent prodding, was a lie. On Friday, the Department of Justice released a trove of emails showing that Musk, a former top Trump official and the world’s richest man, repeatedly appealed to visit Epstein’s infamous private island, Little Saint James, in search of the “wildest party” he could find. Even before the

Listen to this article with a free account President Donald Trump endorsed John Sununu in the New Hampshire Senate race Sunday, backing him over other Republican opponents, including Scott Brown, as the GOP seeks to flip the seat held by Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, a retiring Democrat. Trump called Sununu an “America First Patriot” on Truth Social on Sunday and said he had Trump's “Complete and Total Endorsement.” "John is strongly supported by the most Highly Respected Leaders in New Hampshire, and many Republicans in the U.S. Senate and, as your next Senator, he will work tirelessly to advance our America First Agenda," Trump wrote. Sununu, who has served in Congress as a representative and a senator, lost his Senate re-election bid to Shaheen in 2008. Sununu has criticized Trump in the past, including by calling him a “loser” in a 2024 op-ed published in the New Hampshire Union Leader supporting Republican presidential primary candidate Nikki Haley. Sununu’s campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Trump’s endorsement. Since Sununu launched his bid, Democrats have warned that the Senate race could be tougher than expected, urging people not to “sleep” on it. Rep. Chris Pappas, D-N.H., who is

Josh McDaniel PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Mexico — Paced by a 2-under-par scorecard from individual leader Joshua Hong, UTSA seized the day-one lead at the Compadres Collegiate, which teed off Sunday at Iberostar Playa Paraiso Golf Club (par 71/6,701 yards). Hong fired a 70 to grab the individual lead and help the Roadrunners build a seven-shot lead in the team standings. UTSA posted a 4-over 292 to shoot to the top of the leaderboard, seven strokes ahead of North Texas and host UTRGV, who are tied for second at 11-over par. Western Carolina (+16) and ULM (+17) round out the top five in the nine-team field with 36 holes remaining over the next two days. Hong has a one-shot lead in the individual race ahead of Western Carolina’s Tyler Jones (+1). Playing in his native country, the freshman from Guadalajara, Mexico, started on No. 5 and proceeded to write down birdies on his first three holes. He made four on the 489-yard fifth, two on the 144-yard sixth and four on the 547-yard seventh to get to 3-under for the day. He then moved to 4-under with a birdie on the 424-yard, par-4 10th before settling for a pair of bogeys

Listen to this article with a free account From Facebook and TikTok to Instagram and X, AI-manipulated images and videos depicting Alex Pretti’s final moments have proliferated across the internet since his fatal shooting by federal officers in Minneapolis last weekend. The rapid spread of media altered by artificial intelligence, much of which shows Pretti collapsing in the seconds after he was shot, has clouded key details of the shooting on social networks. Unlike other AI-generated deepfakes that portray entirely unrealistic scenes and are easily identified as fake, many of the AI-altered depictions of Pretti’s shooting appear to have been based on verified images, mirroring reality enough to confuse and mislead many online. And even as awareness of the capabilities of advanced artificial intelligence spreads, some online are extending their skepticism of authentic media, falsely claiming that legitimate photos and videos of Pretti have been altered by AI. One image that appears to have been manipulated with AI, showing the ICU nurse falling forward as a federal officer points a gun at his back,  » Read More
