Meta have started algorithmically finding under18s in Australia who claimed to be over 18, & shifting them to Teen Insta accounts. about.fb.com/news/2025/04... On 10 Dec, presumably those identified thus as under16 will be the first wave of Meta/FB/Insta deactivations as the ban starts.

I am not a Hannah Arendt stan, but she nailed this one: 'Under such circumstances… the Palestinian Jews would degenerate into one of those small warrior tribes about whose possibilities and importance history has amply informed us since the days of Sparta.'

In Australia, workers and employers both struggle to know what is and isn’t allowed when it comes to expressing controversial opinions.

Whether you’re a student halfway through a degree or a mid-career manager planning the next five years, artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping lives across the country. If you've been feeling its effects, the ABC want to hear from you.

oh my god I'm going to be so pissed if I can't get my leucovorin/folic acid that I need to counteract the methotrexate side effects, because Trumpies have bought it all up. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

4) While Abu Dhabi won't be taking over Santos any time soon, they haven't stopped to lick their wounds. Just today, Santos started production from Barossa, one of Australia’s (or the world's depending who you ask) dirtiest gas projects.

3) The leak wasn't what killed the deal but our insider sources said the dent in trust between the two sides dealt a body blow. News of the deal's demise, codenamed Emerald, was delivered in a formal letter and caught Santos completely unaware. You can find more details in my story.

2) A few weeks ago, I was one of many journalists who picked up a story that a Santos gas export plant in the NT that had been leaking methane for nearly 20 years. Little did I know, the group that was planning to buy Santos didn't know about this leak until they saw it reported in the press.

“Thank you for letting us tell your story” Well I could hardly stop you tho, could I

lmao nazis just tripping over themselves to out themselves as nazis and the ABC happy to give them a soft launch.

Early morning shift, then a zoom call. Went to check if Kid ate the sammich I brought him for lunch. Nope. Odd. Just realised why when I found the wrappers of 400g of halloumi he fried up while I was at work

This shouldn't happen to anyone. No-one should have to go through this. We have a government that has repeated their delusional sing-song bullshit for three years and it's still happening.

Homeless disability pensioner Glenn Campbell on how Robodebt is still heaping misery on welfare recipients thewest.com.au/news/wa/not-...

"The People Vs Robodebt" explores the devastating human story behind one of Australia's greatest political scandals. The 3-part docu-drama series will be avail to stream on #SBSOnDemand on Wed 24Sept25. #auspol #Robodebt Trailer: youtu.be/5LzL7WpswH4?...

Whistleblower reform is very important, and it is important to the response to Robodebt, and it will prevent future schemes of this nature. That conversation must be in the right order, with proper reference to the Royal Commission. A just & fair welfare system has much less need for whistleblowers.

Internal organisational whistleblowers then eventually made their concerns public, with the support of the CPSU and the media (who were by now appraised of the issue) and their work was beyond courageous and utterly vital to defeating the scheme.

We know about Robodebt because recipients 'blew the whistle' on their debts to concerned community activists, who were the first ones to raise this publicly. Let me be 10,000% clear, this is because welfare recipients were the ones who were targeted and victimised by Robodebt.

I think this highlights the main issue I have with the social media ban... the algorithm is bad for everyone. It's cooking brains across the globe. Rather than addressing that, they've decided the only solution is to cut off a small section of the population for a few years

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

it's not clear how this leads to a course of action, but everything the silicon valley techfash do and say makes much more sense when you realise everyone in SV over $10m is macro-microdosing every fucking chemical you can think of every one of them is off their fucking trees

If you’re watching us from outside the United States, it’s pretty much as bad as it looks.

Ok, so today I realised Kid can spot AI videos when set outdoors because he recognises when the plants are in the wrong geolocation. “That TikTok video is not from Kazakstan. That’s a fern”

“After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like,” Obama wrote.

People outside tech don’t get how massive a blow the $100K/year foreign worker fee is. 66% of Silicon Valley’s tech workers are foreign-born. Even if some have green cards, that’s still a huge percentage hit with massive fees plus it limits the pipeline for new talent the industry relies on.
