The Register: Faith in the internet is fading among young Brits. āThe UKās communications regulator found that in June 2025, just a third of those aged 18-34 agreed the internet is good for society, down from 42 percent a year earlier. While this fell for older age groups as well, it did so less sharply (34 percent versus 38 percent in 2024), meaning those aged 55 and above are proportionately [ā¦]

"Louisianaās attempt to make social media companies verify the ages of their users with a digital ID has been struck down, with a federal judge ruling that the law violates the First Amendment and imposes unconstitutional burdens on lawful speech.
In his 94-page decision, US District Judge John deGravelles of Louisianaās Middle District found that the Secure Online Child Interaction and Age Limitation Act āis at once under-inclusive and over-inclusive.ā
We obtained a copy of the decision for you here.
The court stated, āIt is under-inclusive in that minors can encounter the same potentially harmful content on unregulated websites and can gain more or less unrestricted access to covered platforms upon satisfying the one-time age-verification and parental-consent requirements.
It is over-inclusive in that it burdens a large amount of protected speech for minors and adults alike.
And it is seemingly largely redundant of existing parental controls, meaning that there is a less-restrictive alternative: Louisiana can encourage the use of available tools.ā"
