Analysis-Australia's teen social media ban faces a new wildcard: teenagers

SYDNEY (Reuters) -When 13-year-old Jasmine Elkin tried out the age-checking software Australia might use to ban children and teenagers from social media, she was surprised some products could identify a person's age to the month - but she still doubts it will work. Elkin's view echoes one of the main concerns of child protection advocates, tech firms and even the trial organisers about the technology Australia hopes will enable the world's first national social ban for under-16s: the software works, they say, but young people will find a way around it. From December, social companies like Meta's Facebook and Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok will face a fine of as much as A$49.5 million ($32.17 million) if they fail to take what the law calls "reasonable steps" to block younger users in an effort to protect their mental and physical health.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard chief killed in Israel strike, state media says

Israel struck capital city Tehran early Friday morning local time and warned of potential drone and missile strikes at Israel and civilians.

On December 25, 2023, Sayyed Razi Mousavi, a senior commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, was killed in an alleged Israeli airstrike in Damascus, Syria. Mousavi, who served as a long-time advisor to the Revolutionary Guard, was described by Iranian state media as a "companion of martyr Qassem Soleimani," referencing the former head of the Quds Force killed by a U.S. drone strike in 2020. The strike occurred amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran, with Iran's Foreign Ministry vowing a "decisive response" to the attack. Israel has not officially commented on the incident, but the killing marks a significant escalation in the ongoing shadow war between the two nations.
