EU Kids Act Draws Sharp Criticism from Gaming Advocates and Fediverse Developers

The proposed EU Kids Act, introduced in September 2026, faces intense backlash from the video game industry and decentralized social media developers. Critics argue the legislation’s broad age verification requirements and restrictions on private servers could collapse the European gaming market and undermine the technical foundations of the Fediverse. While the law aims to protect minors through strict safety measures, opponents warn that its implementation is technically unfeasible for small-scale operators and fundamentally incompatible with open-source network architectures.

Pristine Ice Age mastodon tooth unearthed in California creek

A Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District preserve creek in San Mateo County yielded an exceptionally well-preserved mastodon tooth, likely dating from 50,000 to 100,000 years ago. Found by geomorphologist Brigid Lynch, the molar’s condition suggests the animal died nearby and its skull may still be buried at the site. Researchers from Stanford plan to carbon-date the tooth and create a 3-D replica to study the find further.
