The United Nations has launched controversial initiatives targeting gaming platforms and social media under the guise of combating radicalisation and misinformation. Patrick Christys explores how the UN Counter-Terrorism Office and UNESCO are leading efforts like “gaming intelligence” monitoring and AI-driven content moderation tools, sparking concerns about censorship. With influencers undergoing new training to fight misinformation, critics warn of global overreach into digital freedoms. Is this about safety, or is it a step toward controlling our online lives?

Australian lawmakers on Thursday approved a landmark ban on social media for children under 16, in some of the world’s toughest such controls. The ban aims to address the impact of social media use on children’s physical and mental health, affecting social media platforms including X, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and Reddit, but not YouTube. NBC News’ Liz Kreutz has the details.

Australia will ban children under 16 from using social media, after its Senate approved the world’s strictest laws.
The ban – which will not take effect for at least 12 months – could see tech companies fined up to A$50m ($32.5m; £25.7m) if they don’t comply.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the legislation is needed to protect young people from the “harms” of social media, something many parent groups have echoed.
But critics say questions over how the ban will work – and its impact on privacy and social connection – have been left unanswered.

X, formerly Twitter, has been banned in Brazil after failing to meet a deadline set by a Supreme Court judge to name a new legal representative in the country.
Alexandre de Moraes ordered the “immediate and complete suspension” of the platform until it complies with all court orders and pays existing fines.
“Free speech is the bedrock of democracy and an unelected pseudo-judge in Brazil is destroying it for political purposes,” said Elon Musk, X owner.
The row began in April, with the judge ordering the suspension of dozens of X accounts for allegedly spreading disinformation.

*Synopsis | Messing With Minds (2024)*
How much more evidence is needed before the message is fully understood that social media is a serious health hazard for young people? Leading researchers like world-renowned US psychologist Professor Jonathan Haidt warn that it’s messing with our kids’ minds, and in an increasing number of tragic cases, it’s killing them. Of course the tech giants who control the social media platforms downplay the dangers, but their views are compromised by the enormous profits they make by having children spend hours and hours on their smartphones. On 60 MINUTES, Adam Hegarty investigates calls to do what to many was once unthinkable: Ban social media for the young.
