      Germany has passed its national law for the EU Digital Identity Wallet, launching January 2 as “d-you.” &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The government insists it’s voluntary. Platforms will be legally required to accept it, even where EU rules don’t demand it. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The age for using online ID drops from 16 to 13. A ban on automatically sharing biometric photos between passport and ID card authorities has been scrapped. The pseudonym function EU law requires won’t be ready at launch. The SPD already wants the wallet mandatory for social media and has complained that VPNs make it too easy to get around. Every part that expands the system is ready to go.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/germany-approves-eu-digital-identity-wallet-law&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/germany-approves-eu-digital-identity-wallet-law&lt;/a&gt;

      Eight US states have sued OpenAI, and their main complaint is that ChatGPT collects too much data from children. Their proposed fix is age verification for every user, which means collecting far more data from everyone.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;West Virginia wants “effective age assurance.” Montana wants OpenAI barred from processing personal information until it checks IDs. Idaho wants age verification “without limitation.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;People tell ChatGPT things they would never tell another person. The states want each of those conversations signed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/openai-lawsuits-chatgpt-age-verification&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/openai-lawsuits-chatgpt-age-verification&lt;/a&gt;

      The Eleventh Circuit just let Florida’s social media ID law stand. Under-14s are banned outright, and 14 and 15-year-olds need a parent’s permission. To enforce that, platforms have to check the age of everyone, adults included.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The court says a minor can still use these platforms through a parent’s account, or without an account at all. So the law doesn’t keep kids out. It only stops the honest ones, and it makes every adult hand over ID to read and post lawful speech.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Judge Rosenbaum warned last year that this ties real identities to accounts and ends anonymous posting.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/florida-social-media-age-verification-law-enforced&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/florida-social-media-age-verification-law-enforced&lt;/a&gt;

      Eight states sued OpenAI this week for collecting too much data from children. Their proposed fix is to collect far more data from everyone. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;They want courts to force age verification on ChatGPT, which means every adult would have to prove who they are before asking a chatbot anything. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A court has already made OpenAI hand 20 million conversations to the New York Times. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Once those chats are tied to a real name, the next request will come from someone with a badge. These states are asking judges to impose ID checks that their own lawmakers never passed. The states are trying to get it through consumer protection law instead.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/openai-lawsuits-chatgpt-age-verification&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/openai-lawsuits-chatgpt-age-verification&lt;/a&gt;

      Microsoft has closed another way to set up Windows 11 without a Microsoft account. A small “Learn more” link on the sign-in screen used to lead to local account creation, and it took the company about four weeks to turn it into a dead end. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The change came from Microsoft’s own servers with no announcement. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In March, a Microsoft vice president said he hated the account requirement and was working on it. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The company has been working on it too alright...by closing every route around it. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/microsoft-closes-windows-11-local-account-workaround&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/microsoft-closes-windows-11-local-account-workaround&lt;/a&gt;

      An Australian government staffer was asked in Parliament House this week why the Digital Duty of Care bill is needed. The answer was a video. Nidal Hasan is due to be executed by firing squad on December 3, and the government wants the power to stop Australians seeing it.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The staffer was then asked whether the bill would also have allowed censorship of footage of last year’s Bondi massacre. The reply was that Bondi was different because Bondi was news.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Asked whether they realised the bill would let the government censor news, the staffers appeared not to know or care. They said they were moving forward with it anyway...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/australia-censorship-bill-execution-video&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/australia-censorship-bill-execution-video&lt;/a&gt;

      The DOJ told the Fifth Circuit this month that you have no expectation of privacy on a public road, because drivers already expect to be watched. That is the government’s legal theory for Flock, and the FBI is already using the data.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;In San Jose, 474 cameras took over 360 million photos in 2024. About a quarter of one percent triggered a hotlist alert. Everyone else was photographed anyway.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Mike Johnson has now promised a House vote on a bill that would cut every federal agency off from this data. The vote comes after the election, and the bill leaves locally funded cameras untouched.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/house-vote-blocking-federal-flock-data-access&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/house-vote-blocking-federal-flock-data-access&lt;/a&gt;

      Australia’s Prime Minister called his new online censorship bill “change from the bottom-up, my Government listening and acting.” &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The campaign group standing beside him at the launch had lobbied his office for it in a private letter. That same group gets 89 percent of its funding from his government. Its revenue jumped 975 percent in a single year, and Canberra has since handed it another $4.4 million. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The bill lets the eSafety commissioner run fake accounts, order content removed, and fine platforms up to A$109.2 million. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The government paid for the public demand and then answered the call.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/teach-us-consent-australia-digital-censorship-bill&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/teach-us-consent-australia-digital-censorship-bill&lt;/a&gt;

      An Ohio state senator received a crude Shrek meme from a blogger mocking him for losing the race for Senate president. He could have blocked the number. Instead, Jerry Cirino personally called the police chief in his hometown and asked for charges.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The judge who signed the arrest warrant had taken campaign money from Cirino and been endorsed by him. D.J. Byrnes was arrested in public at the Statehouse and held for 23 hours.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The text that came with the meme called Cirino “Young Mussolini.” His lawyers argued the whole exchange was about one thing, which was the race Cirino had just lost. FIRE called it protected political mockery and offered the senator some advice at the time. It told him to block the number.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;A jury has now found Byrnes guilty of telecommunications harassment. The fine is $200. The arrest, the night in a cell, and the trial were the real sentence, and a powerful politician handed it out because a joke hurt his feelings.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/ohio-blogger-convicted-political-joke-senator&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/ohio-blogger-convicted-political-joke-senator&lt;/a&gt;

      A police officer turned up at the home of Joanne May, who runs Oldspeak Bookshop, to warn her about a social media post mocking two men. She told him she hadn’t written it. He asked who had. Then he admitted on camera that he didn’t know.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He still gave her “words of advice.” She could post whatever she wanted, he said, “to a point.” When she asked where that point was, he told her to look it up. Next time, he added, the conversation would happen at the station.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;This is Britain now. The question was never who wrote the post. The question is why a police officer is knocking on anyone’s door over one.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-police-warn-woman-over-unverified-social-media-post&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-police-warn-woman-over-unverified-social-media-post&lt;/a&gt;

      The EU paid a “counter-disinformation” group more than €1 million, and that group just held a panel on why the United States is now a foreign information threat to Europe. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;America earned the label by pushing back against the EU&amp;#39;s online censorship laws.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The EU was embarrassed enough to peel its logo off the conference, but it kept writing the checks. These are the same people who flagged 40,000 real Twitter users as political operatives and built blacklists to starve websites of ad money. Now they want sympathy for a chilling effect. Yet, they&amp;#39;ve been selling the chill for years.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/eu-funded-disinfolab-labels-us-fimi-threat&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/eu-funded-disinfolab-labels-us-fimi-threat&lt;/a&gt;

      New York AG Letitia James is using newly unsealed TikTok allegations to push for age verification digital ID on everyone.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The complaint says TikTok gave some users a fake “Algo Refresh” button that did nothing. It also says safety features were withheld from more than 10 million users. The remedy James wants is to check every New Yorker’s age.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;TikTok allegedly gave more than 28,000 users a “reset your feed” button that did nothing. New York’s Attorney General says the fix is age verification for everyone. The company is accused of lying about safety and the proposed punishment is a face scan or ID check for you.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/letitia-james-tiktok-age-verification-rules&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/letitia-james-tiktok-age-verification-rules&lt;/a&gt;

      Apple chairman Tim Cook is backing the EU KIDS Act, which would bring app stores and operating systems into scope for age verification.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Age verification means identity verification. Under the KIDS Act, that check would happen at the device level, before anyone downloads an app.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Cook discussed the proposal with Ursula von der Leyen in New York. This week he told Roberta Metsola and MEPs that Apple was “very encouraged” by it. He also reportedly called Australia’s age verification rules “world-leading.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The EU’s own age verification app was hacked in under two minutes in April, with scanned ID documents stored unencrypted.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/tim-cook-backs-eu-kids-act-age-verification&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/tim-cook-backs-eu-kids-act-age-verification&lt;/a&gt;

      Aaron Sorkin directed his own Facebook movie so it would come out just before the midterms. Its hero is Frances Haugen, who campaigned for higher social media age limits and praised the UK&amp;#39;s online censorship law.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The film arrives as age verification digital ID checks spread everywhere. Meta has agreed to ID check or face scan every Facebook and Instagram user in 51 states and territories. Florida wants every user in the state age-checked within 30 days. The EU wants a state-certified credential before anyone can open a social media account.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hollywood is selling the story while governments write the laws. Sorkin has made a two-hour advert for speech control and the ID checks it thinks you should need to access social media...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/the-social-reckoning-wants-the-speech-referees-back&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/the-social-reckoning-wants-the-speech-referees-back&lt;/a&gt;

      Florida’s attorney general is asking a court to make Meta verify the age of every Facebook and Instagram user in the state. Accounts of under-14s that fail to verify within 30 days get marked for deletion.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The motion goes further. It wants teen accounts to be subjected to a state-enforced lock-in to quiet mode from 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. year-round, and during school hours on weekdays. It wants like counts hidden, autoplay and infinite scroll switched off, and a cap of 60 hours a month.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Last week it also asked a court to order OpenAI to build age verification for ChatGPT.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You cannot check teenagers without checking everyone. Every adult in Florida would have to hand over ID or a face scan to keep using these platforms and have access to speech.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/florida-seeks-meta-age-checks-for-all-users&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/florida-seeks-meta-age-checks-for-all-users&lt;/a&gt;

      A French mayor wants to cut minors off from social media whenever the streets get tense. France’s highest administrative court already ruled that blocking TikTok in New Caledonia was illegal. The Constitutional Council struck down the under-15 ban in August as disproportionate. Every time France has trouble (which is often) someone reaches for the off switch.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/france-mayor-calls-to-cut-minors-social-media-access&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/france-mayor-calls-to-cut-minors-social-media-access&lt;/a&gt;

      Google is challenging a Las Vegas police warrant that demands the identity of everyone who searched a set of keywords. The case involves the July killing of a homeless woman. The keywords, the number of people affected, and most other details are sealed.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Google calls it an illegal general warrant and says it is facially invalid under federal and state constitutional provisions.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The filing also revealed that Las Vegas and Henderson police have served Google with numerous reverse search warrants before. A gag order barred Google from telling the public for months.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nevada has no law on reverse search warrants. No federal appellate court has ruled on whether keyword searches count as a search at all.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The first hearing is set for late October.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/google-challenges-las-vegas-keyword-search-warrant&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/google-challenges-las-vegas-keyword-search-warrant&lt;/a&gt;

      A federal judge in Oklahoma has ruled that a sheriff&amp;#39;s deputy violated the Fourth Amendment by searching license plate reader databases without a warrant.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The deputy was parked by the highway when a Mazda SUV with California plates drove past. Judge Sara Hill said he followed it &amp;#34;for no apparent reason other than the fact that it had a California license plate.&amp;#34; Before he pulled the driver over, he ran the plate through Flock and VehicleManager.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;That search gave him more than 50 records of her movements across the country over a single month. He then used them to help justify searching her car, which turned up about 91 pounds of methamphetamine.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Hill suppressed all of it. She called the technology &amp;#34;a type of indiscriminate mass surveillance&amp;#34; and a &amp;#34;dragnet type law enforcement practice.&amp;#34; She also wrote that people have no reasonable expectation of privacy on a public road, but that plate readers become &amp;#34;constitutionally problematic&amp;#34; when police can &amp;#34;indiscriminately and passively catalog your whereabouts over an extended period of time.&amp;#34;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Other courts disagree. The Fifth Circuit ruled in March that periodic sightings of a car were not a search. A California federal court ruled that looking at eight photos of a car was not a search either.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/license-plate-readers-mass-surveillance-ruling&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/license-plate-readers-mass-surveillance-ruling&lt;/a&gt;

      A French court may fine Quad9 €580,000 for refusing to block pirate sites, and the Swiss privacy DNS resolver is now weighing a full exit from France.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;beIN Sports wants €10,000 per day per domain across 58 domains. Quad9 says it has no legally useful way to tell who is a French user, so it can&amp;#39;t block just them. Blocking for everyone would hand French courts jurisdiction over the whole internet.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;OpenDNS already left France in 2024 over a similar order.

      A New Mexico jury found Meta liable for 43.9 million violations of the state&amp;#39;s Unfair Practices Act. The state wants $35 to $40 billion.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;About a quarter of those violations are for not removing &amp;#34;hate speech&amp;#34; and &amp;#34;misinformation&amp;#34; fast enough.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The state did not have to show anyone saw the statements or was harmed. It only had to show harm was likely. Then it multiplied the violations by the number of people in New Mexico.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Meta says it has a First Amendment right to manage its platforms as it sees fit.

      Speech Police UK: Four West Midlands officers turned up at the home of a 15-year-old, arrested him, and took his phone and laptop. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;His offense was a set of Facebook posts about Conservative councillor Simon Bennett. One complained about shorts and sneakers at a scrutiny committee. Another had rabbit ears Photoshopped onto the councillor&amp;#39;s photo. The boy was questioned, bailed, and banned from attending council meetings in Wolverhampton. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Police have not explained why it took four officers or why any turned up at all.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Free Speech Union says there was plainly no offense and plans to sue for wrongful arrest and false imprisonment. The councillor says the police thought it merited an arrest. Police then wonder why public trust keeps falling.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-police-arrest-teenager-over-councillor-mocking-posts&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-police-arrest-teenager-over-councillor-mocking-posts&lt;/a&gt;

      Minnesota passed a law that bans AI from making fake nudes of real people. Many support the law. But look at how the law is written. It exempts any tool that requires &amp;#34;technical skill.&amp;#34; So if you paint the image by hand, you are fine. If you ask an AI to make the same image, you owe up to $500,000 per violation.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The law also covers shirtless men and swimmers. It has no exception for art, satire, journalism, or politics. It applies even when the person in the image said yes to it being made.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Now the Eighth Circuit has blocked it for xAI while the appeal plays out.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/minnesota-nudification-law-xai-first-amendment&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/minnesota-nudification-law-xai-first-amendment&lt;/a&gt;

      The UK government wants a passport, a driving license or a face scan before you can open a new social media account. This is the same country that arrests people over tweets. Britain has jailed people for what they posted online and now the state wants to know exactly who is behind every account before the first post goes up.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The ban covers Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Snapchat, Facebook and X, and it is expected to start in spring 2027. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Discord already leaked government IDs after it introduced age checks. There is no reliable, privacy-preserving way to verify the age of every internet user. A pile of faces and passports linked to social media accounts is a gift to a government that prosecutes speech.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-social-media-passport-facial-age-checks&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-social-media-passport-facial-age-checks&lt;/a&gt;

      British Transport Police scanned the faces of 537,697 people at London railway stations over six months. The trial produced one alert, and that alert was false. It cost £320,786 ($424,000)&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The police responded by extending the trial by four months and expanding the area. Since then, 926,912 people have been scanned in total. The system has made only three correct identifications, and every one of them ended with no action. The arrest column still reads zero.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The watchlist, meanwhile, has grown from 381 names to 862. Transport for London welcomed the expansion and said it would tackle violence against women and girls.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;More than half of the police forces in England and Wales now scan faces in public, and every failed trial is treated as a reason to scan more of them.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/british-transport-police-facial-recognition-zero-arrests&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/british-transport-police-facial-recognition-zero-arrests&lt;/a&gt;

    <content type="html">
      A body linked to the UK Home Office has been keeping files on people who criticize government programs online.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Between March 2024 and February 2025, the Prevent Standards and Compliance Unit logged 77 &amp;#34;observations&amp;#34; of critics. Most came from X, and some came from Reddit. Posts from or about groups like Hope Not Hate and Open Rights Group were also included.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The entries were filed as &amp;#34;open-source complaints&amp;#34; and stored internally. The unit also tried to independently verify the claims made in them.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Home Office refused to release any of this. Rights &amp;amp; Security International won an appeal to the Information Commissioner&amp;#39;s Office, and only then did the documents come out.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Nobody knows whether automated tools found the posts. Nobody knows who the data gets shared with. You should be able to criticize government policy without ending up in a file.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-prevent-unit-tracked-online-critics&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-prevent-unit-tracked-online-critics&lt;/a&gt;

      India has now pulled BitChat from its App Store through Apple.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;BitChat works over Bluetooth with no internet, no phone number and no account. That is exactly why Delhi wants it gone. In July the government shut down the network around Jantar Mantar, and protesters used BitChat to keep talking.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The government has now gone after the network, then the code on GitHub, and now the app store. Each step has been aimed at the same target, which is leaving people with no way to communicate when the internet is cut off.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Apple&amp;#39;s notice says the app &amp;#34;includes content that is illegal in India&amp;#34; and never names any content. Apple simply complied.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/apple-removes-bitchat-india-government-request&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/apple-removes-bitchat-india-government-request&lt;/a&gt;

    <content type="html">
      Rand Paul just blocked the Senate from passing KOSA by unanimous consent. It was the fourth attempt in four years.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Senate bill never says &amp;#34;age verification.&amp;#34; It says platforms must prevent harms to minors and can be held liable if a reasonable person would have known a user was a minor. The only safe way to avoid that liability is to check everyone.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The House version skips the guessing. It requires age verification for every user, and it passed 267 to 117.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Senate bill also orders a study on verifying age at the device or operating system level. Meta dropped its opposition once the bill was paired with a federal ban on state AI laws and a digital ID push.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Both versions lead to the same place, which is an ID check for the whole internet.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/rand-paul-blocks-kosa-fast-track-approval&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/rand-paul-blocks-kosa-fast-track-approval&lt;/a&gt;

      Florida&amp;#39;s Attorney General has asked a court to order OpenAI to install &amp;#34;a robust and effective age verification system&amp;#34; on ChatGPT. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The motion also wants a say over how future AI models are built and how the company talks about its own product. &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The stated goal is protecting children. The actual outcome is that every adult who wants to use a chatbot has to prove who they are first. OpenAI is unlikely to put up much of a fight. It already responded to pressure and has been building systems that guess your age by tracking how you behave...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/florida-seeks-court-order-requiring-age-verification-for-chatgpt&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/florida-seeks-court-order-requiring-age-verification-for-chatgpt&lt;/a&gt;

      Alabama just settled its lawsuit against TikTok, days before the first state jury trial against the platform was due to start.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The deal is sold as protection for teenagers. There is a two-hour daily cap, a curfew from midnight to 6 a.m., pop-up interruptions after 15 minutes, and a ban on beauty filters.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;None of that works unless TikTok knows who is a teenager. So the settlement requires &amp;#34;robust age assurance,&amp;#34; and it applies to everyone. Every adult in Alabama who opens the app is now in line for an age check.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Attorney General calls it a great day for parents. It is also a great day for anyone who wanted ID checks on social media without having to pass a law...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;https://reclaimthenet.org/tiktok-alabama-age-verification-settlement&#34;&gt;https://reclaimthenet.org/tiktok-alabama-age-verification-settlement&lt;/a&gt;

      France&amp;#39;s highest court just killed the under-15 social media ban.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The problem was never the kids. It was that to prove a user isn&amp;#39;t 15, every adult in France has to prove they aren&amp;#39;t. The Constitutional Council called that a disproportionate hit to free expression with no safeguards for private life.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It was blocked three weeks before it took effect.
