Canadian billionaire and investor Kevin O’Leary has now issued a blunt warning to job seekers. In a post shared on social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter) O’Leary said that of you are not on LinkedIn, the employers will notice but not in a good way. O’Leary emphasised that the first stop for recruiters is LinkedIn and a profile missing from the professional networking platform is considered to be a ‘red flag’. “First stop when we’re hiring? LinkedIn. No profile? That’s a red flag. We check your posts, your history, your digital footprint... everything.If you want to lead, work remotely, or grow your career, you must understand how social media really works,” wrote O’Leary. O’Leary is of the opinion that hiring managers now scrutinise not just the work history but also a candidate’s entire online presence. He has urged the professionals to treat their digital profiles as part of their personal brand, especially in a job market increasingly shaped by remote work and online visibility. Social media plays the role of a career catalyst As per O’Leary, understanding how social media works is no longer optional for career growth. “If you want to lead, work remotely, or grow your

Vimeo has confirmed another round of layoffs this week, marking the second time the video platform has reduced staff since September. The latest job cuts come shortly after the company was acquired by Milan-based tech firm Bending Spoons for $1.38 billion in November 2025. Bending Spoons, which has steadily expanded its digital portfolio through acquisitions, confirmed the layoffs after a Business Insider report highlighted the company’s ongoing restructuring efforts. Vimeo has not disclosed how many employees have been impacted this time, leaving the exact scale of the reductions unclear. This is the second staff reduction at Vimeo in recent months. In September, the company trimmed 10% of its full-time workforce, citing a need for improved focus and efficiency in an SEC filing. Employees affected by the most recent layoffs said they were not surprised, suggesting the company’s direction under new ownership had already hinted at deeper changes.

Skip to content 22 Jan 2026 US courts are testing whether social media platforms can be held liable for addictive design features, following Snapchat’s early exit from a high-profile lawsuit. Snapchat’s parent company has settled a social media addiction lawsuit in California just days before the first major trial examining platform harms was set to begin. The agreement removes Snapchat from one of the three bellwether cases consolidating thousands of claims, while Meta, TikTok and YouTube remain defendants. These lawsuits mark a legal shift away from debates over user content and towards scrutiny of platform design choices, including recommendation systems and engagement mechanics. A US judge has already ruled that such features may be responsible for harm, opening the door to liability that section 230 protections may not cover. Legal observers compare the proceedings to historic litigation against tobacco and opioid companies, warning of substantial damages and regulatory consequences. A ruling against the remaining platforms could force changes in how social media products are designed, particularly in relation to minors and mental health risks.

On Jan. 15, NCAA president Charlie Baker posted a two-minute video on X/Twitter addressing the explosive federal charges that dozens of Division I men’s basketball players were involved in a bribery-driven point-shaving and game-fixing scheme.  Later that same day, Baker used the same social media platform to share that he thinks Jim Thorpe is the greatest athlete of all time, that the death of Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington hit him hard, and that the TV show Friday Night Lights managed to be excellent from start to finish. Baker, who is 69 and has more than 93,000 followers, has become a full-fledged reply guy. His account has been active since 2009 and became verified in 2014. Baker has always been an active user—in 2015, Boston Magazine published a story called “Charlie Baker Is Awesome At Twitter.” That story had nothing to do with him being a reply guy; instead, it focused on his selfie-taking proficiency, his propensity to engage with reporters, and his correct usage of the quote tweet feature. As of Jan. 21, Baker has made almost 9,000 total posts.  Starting late last year, there was a noticeable uptick in the volume of his replies to accounts posing light

Executive Summary This report evaluates the current US military repositioning toward the Middle East against Iran amid rising tensions, including Trump’s open advocacy for regime change in Tehran. It outlines background facts on the redeployment and analyses geopolitical drivers, including effects on global energy markets and Iranian internal cohesion. Key Takeaways The United States is repositioning significant naval and air assets, including the USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, to the Middle East to conduct “coercive deterrence” and signal readiness for potential intervention following Iranian internal unrest. Any direct US military action or attempt at regime change faces a high risk of broad Iranian retaliation against US bases in the Gulf, Israeli territory, and global energy infrastructure in the Strait of Hormuz. External pressure or the removal of top leadership could actually strengthen Iranian internal cohesion and empower hardline factions like the IRGC rather than fostering political moderation or liberalization. Information Background The US Navy redirected its nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group from the South China Sea toward the US Central Command (CENTCOM) area of responsibility in the Middle East in response to escalating tensions with Iran. The transit will take several days before the carrier

New York, January 22: US-based video hosting platform Vimeo has announced a new round of layoffs across its global teams just months after being acquired by European tech firm Bending Spoons. The Vimeo layoffs were confirmed by the new owners following the completion of a USD 1.38 billion deal in November 2025. While the exact number of affected employees has not been officially disclosed, the move follows a pattern of aggressive restructuring typical of the Milan-based parent company. This development marks the second significant staff reduction for Vimeo in recent months. In September 2025, prior to the acquisition, the company trimmed 10% of its full-time workforce. At the time, Vimeo stated in a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that the cuts were part of an effort to ensure operational focus and efficiency. The transition to Bending Spoons’ ownership appears to have accelerated this drive for a leaner corporate structure, as per a report by Business Insider.  Layoffs Due to AI: Artificial Intelligence Impacting Global Labour Market ‘Like a Tsunami’ Amid Mounting Job Loss Fears in Employees in 2026.
