Australian politician calls country ‘guinea pig’ for censorship amid world-first social media ban

A world-first social media ban took effect in Australia last week, restricting children younger than 16 from using platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok. "Australia has become an international guinea pig for the people who want internet censorship," said Hon. John Ruddick, a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council. More than 200,000 accounts were deactivated Wednesday after Australia’s Online Safety Amendment went into effect. "It's massive," he explained. "It's the only thing the country's talking about." AUSTRALIA IMPLEMENTS FIRST-EVER YOUTH SOCIAL MEDIA BAN The 10 social media giants included in the ban are Facebook, Instagram, X, TikTok, Snapchat, Kick, Reddit, Threads, Twitch and YouTube. By law, they are required to locate and deactivate accounts of Australian users under the age of 16.  "I have heard that every playground around Australia for months has been talking about censorship coming," Ruddick told Fox News Digital. Children and parents won’t be penalized for violating the ban, but social media companies face fines of up to $33 million if they don’t take "reasonable steps" to remove underage users. Many Aussie children, Ruddick said, are already finding ways to skirt the sweeping ban. "They're getting around it through fake IDs, opening new apps

A New YouTube TV Glitch on Roku Breaks The Guide – Here is How to Fix It

YouTube TV users on Roku devices are encountering a peculiar glitch that delivers incorrect and outdated program guide information. The issue, which began surfacing in user reports over the past week, stems from an interaction between Roku’s new instant restart feature and YouTube TV’s data handling. This has resulted in subscribers being presented with television listings that are sometimes days old, leading to confusion and missed programming. The core of the problem lies in Roku’s instant restart functionality, designed to enhance user convenience by allowing apps to resume playback exactly where they left off, even after extended periods of inactivity. This feature works seamlessly for many applications, preserving the viewer’s position in a show or movie without the need to navigate back manually. However, when applied to YouTube TV, it appears to extend beyond just video content resumption. The app is inadvertently pulling in old guide data from previous sessions, displaying schedules that no longer reflect current broadcasts. For instance, a user who pauses a live sports event on Monday and returns to the app on Wednesday might find the guide still showing Monday’s lineup, complete with games that have already concluded and news segments from earlier in the week.

December 20, 2025 / 5:26 PM MST / CBS Colorado Add CBS News on Google One of two men accused of robbing an Aurora woman who was selling jewelry out of her home has been found guilty on multiple felony charges. Investigators said Frayer Contreras-Gafaro and another man went to an apartment in the 1300 block of N. Laredo Street last June in response to a woman's Facebook advertisement to sell jewelry.
