TikTok's rising popularity in news consumption challenges Facebook's reign

techspot.com/news/100867-tiktok-rising-popularity-news-consumption-challenges-facebook-reign.html

Quick Glance: Meta Advocates Responsibility from Apple and Google

Parents must approve their teenagers' app downloads, supported by Meta, which advocates state legislation requiring app stores to obtain parental approval when their teenagers under 16 download apps.

Legislation is necessary to hold all players in the social media space to the same standard, and the industry must collaborate with lawmakers to create a simple way for parents to monitor their teenagers' online experiences.

Meta continues to inaccurately represent the public perception of the extent and frequency of harm caused by users, especially children, on the platform.

One of the state lawsuits alleges that 'Meta not only targets young minds with addictive, harmful, trap-door content – it also lies to the public and parents about how safe their platforms are.'

Quick Glance: Google to Delete Inactive Accounts

Google is implementing its plan to delete accounts that have been inactive for at least two years.

Accounts will not be deleted until December 1, but Google will start sending warnings to affected users beforehand.

The new policy aims to prevent security risks by targeting older accounts that rely on recycled passwords and lack up-to-date security measures.

The decision to delete accounts goes beyond the previous policy of only wiping content from unused services.

Quick Glance: YouTube Allows False Claims About US Elections

YouTube will no longer remove videos falsely claiming the legitimacy of U.S. elections.

The platform has reversed its policy and will now allow videos claiming that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.

YouTube has already taken down tens of thousands of videos questioning the integrity of past U.S. presidential elections.

The new policy also allows false claims about election fraud or errors in other countries, including the 2021 German federal election and the 2014, 2018, and 2022 Brazilian presidential elections.

Manhattan Federal Court Judge Lewis Kaplan gave Trump until Sunday at 5 p.m. to request the case be reopened so that he could testify.

Trump will not be coming to New York City to confront E. Jean Carroll as he recently promised.

Carroll's lawyers highlighted that Trump's Truth Social posts that previously caused controversy remained online.

The verdict now lies with nine New York jurors who must decide whether Trump committed battery in a Bergdorf Goodman changing room about 25 years ago and whether he defamed Carroll when she accused him of raping her decades later.
