Proposals to ban social media for children Supporters say a ban would help protect children online, but others argue it could have unintended consequences.

The UK is still pushing under 16 social media restrictions. Age gating rarely stays simple, and privacy usually pays the price. Safer tools matter, but so do freedom and user choice.

It Took Me Just 2 Hours to Vibe Code a Mass Surveillance Site With OpenAI's Codex With zero coding skills, and in a disturbingly short time, I was able to assemble camera feeds from around the world into a single view. Here's how I did it, and why it's both promising and terrifying for all of us.

Türkiye expands Black Sea surveillance amid Russia-Ukraine conflict The spillover of Ukraine-Russia war continues threatening the security in Black Sea. Türkiye has identified 275 suspicious objects in the Black Sea to date, including drifting mines, kamikaze drones and unmanned surface vehicles, the Ministry of National Defense said Saturday. Of them, 29 have been neutralized, the ministry said in a statement. Amid threats posed by drifting mines during the Russia-Ukraine War, an agreement was signed on Jan. 11, 2024, under Türkiye’s leadership, with the participation of Romania and Bulgaria, to establish the Black Sea Mine Countermeasures Task Group (MCM Black Sea). The statement noted that since March 26, 2022, following the outbreak of the war, the Turkish navy has continuously carried out reconnaissance, surveillance, patrol and disposal operations targeting mines, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unexploded ordnance in the Black Sea. "As part of efforts to protect our maritime jurisdiction areas, under Operation Black Sea Harmony, two frigates, one submarine, one patrol vessel, one maritime patrol aircraft, one helicopter and one UAV are deployed. For mine surveillance activities, two minehunter ships, one fast attack craft, three helicopters, one underwater defense team and one UAV are on duty,” the statement said. It added that during operations...

Viral ‘Palm Beach Pete’ Fuels Identity Debate as Online Sleuths Weigh Twin Records, Facial Comparisons, and Plastic-Surgery Emails On the Polarity channel, host “Vietnam Vinnie” examines the viral rise of “Palm Beach Pete,” a Florida man who closely resembles Jeffrey Epstein, reviewing public records that identify him as Peter Sim(l)/Simmel and noting a verified twin, long-standing real estate career, and claimed athletic accolades. The program also surveys unrelated controversies—from cryptic White House posts tied to a new app to a hacker group’s unverified leak claims—while urging caution about privacy, misidentification, and speculative narratives that invoke cloning or UAP-adjacent themes.

AI-driven border surveillance is spreading across west Africa. What this means for migrants' rights West Africa as a region has long had one of the most mobile populations in the world. Since 1979, the Economic Community of West African States (Ecowas) has allowed citizens of its member states to travel freely across borders without visas. This freedom of movement has helped support regional trade, labour mobility and social ties. But a technological shift is changing how borders operate, with important implications for human rights. Across west Africa, governments are introducing biometric identification systems, facial recognition cameras and artificial intelligence tools at airports and land borders. As a researcher in international law, human rights and technology governance, I recently published a study on these developments. In it I argue that the growing use of AI-driven border surveillance risks undermining migrants’ rights. It is weakening data protection and placing pressure on the region’s commitment to free movement. These systems promise to help governments combat terrorism, human trafficking and irregular migration. However, they also raise serious questions about privacy, discrimination and the future of free movement in the region. The rise of ‘digital borders’ In the past, borders in west Africa were often lightly controlled. Many crossing points lacked sophisticated equipment. Regional mobility relied largely on trust...
