Australia's youth social-media ban stalls amid lax enforcement, study finds

A BMJ study of 408 NSW adolescents (ages 12–17) found the under-16 ban on platforms like TikTok, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Snapchat did not produce an immediate drop in use; most youths continued using their own accounts, with many bypassing age checks via self-declared ages and even selfies in some cases. The researchers caution that weak enforcement and easy circumvention complicate conclusions about policy effectiveness and call for refinement and better implementation.

Mamdani frames NYC socialist wins as a nationwide push for a working-class agenda

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani says his endorsed democratic socialist allies’ primary victories signal a national message for working Americans, arguing a New Deal–style approach can be pragmatic governance. He points to policy gains in New York—rent freezes for about 1 million units, free childcare for two-year-olds, and significant pothole repairs—to illustrate that socialism can deliver for ordinary people, and he critiques Democratic leadership for lacking a clear, positive, working-people-focused vision, even as some moderates push back on the national implications.
