Teen Social Media Bans: Experts Warn of 'Lazy' Fix

Governments in Australia, Europe, and U.S. states are implementing or considering bans on teen social media use to address potential harms. Experts, however, warn these blanket bans are a 'lazy' and ineffective fix that admits regulatory failure. They advocate for enforcing existing laws, like the UK's Online Safety Act, and passing new legislation focused on platform design and privacy, such as the Kids Online Safety Act. Critics argue bans unfairly restrict youth without providing alternatives or tackling tech companies' accountability. This trend follows legal setbacks for Meta, highlighting ongoing concerns about child safety on social media.

U.S.-Iran Ceasefire Sparks Market Relief, But Peace Path Unclear

A temporary U.S.-Iran ceasefire, mediated by Pakistan and effective from April 8, 2026, has provided immediate market relief, with oil prices dropping and stocks rallying.

Rex Heuermann to Plead Guilty in Gilgo Beach Serial Killings

Rex Heuermann, accused in the Gilgo Beach serial killings, is expected to plead guilty to seven murders committed between 1993 and 2010.
