The MeidasTouch Podcast, which is often critical of President Donald Trump, has surpassed popular podcaster Joe Rogan on YouTube. Newsweek has contacted MeidasTouch and a representative for Rogan for comment via email. Why It Matters Podcast charts have long been dominated with conservative or pro-Trump voices—such as Rogan, Shawn Ryan and Ben Shapiro, who frequently appear in the top 10. Trump himself appeared on some of those podcasts during his 2024 bid for the presidency as he eschewed traditional media outlets. However, since Trump returned to office in January, The MeidasTouch Podcast has consistently topped charts, emerging as one of the country's most-listened-to shows. The success of MeidasTouch through the first six months of Trump's administration indicates

The Australian government announced that YouTube will be among the social media platforms that must ensure account holders are at least 16 years old from December, reversing a position taken months ago on the popular video-sharing service. YouTube was listed as an exemption in November last year when the Parliament passed world-first laws that will ban Australian children younger than 16 from platforms including Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and X. Communications Minister Anika Wells released rules Wednesday that decide which online services are defined as “age-restricted social media platforms” and which avoid the age limit. The Australian government announced that YouTube will be among the social media platforms that must ensure account holders are at least 16 years old from December. AP The age restrictions take effect Dec. 10, and platforms will face fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) for “failing to take responsible steps” to exclude underage account holders, a government statement said. The steps are not defined. Wells defended applying the restrictions to YouTube and said the government would not be intimidated by threats of legal action from the platform’s U.S. owner, Alphabet Inc. “The evidence cannot be ignored that four out of 10 Australian kids report that their most

News and Events By James Beser , Director of Product Management, YouTube Youth Jul 29, 2025 – ] minute read We're extending our existing built-in protections to more US teens on YouTube, using machine learning age estimation. People come to YouTube to learn and be entertained. This is true even for the youngest audiences, and it's why we remain laser focused on making sure they have a safe and age appropriate experience. Over 10 years ago we launched YouTube Kids, and 4 years ago implemented supervised accounts for pre-teens and teens. Back in February, we shared that we would soon introduce technology that would distinguish between younger viewers and adults to help provide the best and most age appropriate experiences and protections. Over the next few weeks, we’ll begin to roll out machine learning to a small set of users in the US to estimate their age, so that teens are treated as teens and adults as adults. We’ll closely monitor this before we roll it out more widely. This technology will allow us to infer a user’s age and then use that signal, regardless of the birthday in the account, to deliver our age-appropriate product experiences and protections. We’ve

Attributable to a YouTube Spokesperson: We share the Government's goal of addressing and reducing online harms. Our position remains clear: YouTube is a video sharing platform with a library of free, high-quality content, increasingly viewed on TV screens. It’s not social media. The Government’s announcement today reverses a clear, public commitment to exclude YouTube from this ban. We will consider next steps and will continue to engage with the Government.

You framed it as open versus closed, right? Sort of a gatekeeper-led company like a Netflix versus something like YouTube, which is creator-led. And how do you think that's going to play out? And is that indeed the better place for investors to be on those sort of more open systems? 00:46 Speaker B Yeah, it's, it's really strange because, you know, the internet has been around for what? 30 years? Smartphones have been around for 15. And suddenly in the last 18 months, we've just seen, no
