Tim Davie, the BBC director-general who resigned on Sunday, has since foolishly blamed “enemies” of the corporation for stoking…

AUSTRALIA BANS TEENS FROM SOCIAL MEDIA – 1 Million Accounts to Be Deleted from Dec 10 Australia will enforce a world-first social media ban from December 10, blocking users under 16 from accessing platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. The law could see over one million teenagers lose their accounts, with tech firms facing 49.5 million Australian dollars in fines for noncompliance. Experts warn the new age-verification tools may wrongly lock out 16- and 17-year-olds, as photo-based systems struggle to confirm their ages.
