Zuckerberg Says ′Difficult′ to Enforce Instagram Age Limits (Bloomberg)
|
|
|
Mark Zuckerberg testified that it's “very difficult” to enforce Instagram's age limits as he sought to defend the platform during a landmark trial over social media addiction. The chief executive officer of Meta Platforms was sharply questioned on the witness stand Wednesday about the company's efforts to attract and engage teenage users, and whether it adequately policed accounts belonging to children under 13, despite rules barring them from using the app. Zuckerberg said Meta has introduced some “proactive tools” to try to identify and remove accounts used by children under 13, but called it a “challenging” problem. Bloomberg News Senior Technology Reporter Kurt Wagner joins Bloomberg Businessweek Daily to discuss. He speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec. (Source: Bloomberg)...

Three Key Constraints That Could Derail The Data Center Buildout Story
The data center investment macro story centers on hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon Web Services, whose massive cloud computing services are becoming the backbone for AI workloads, including ChatGPT and others.

Challenges are mounting, and the latest coverage on this comes from a conversation Goldman analyst Brian Singer had with Mark Monroe, a former principal engineer in Microsoft's Datacenter Advanced Development Group, who warned that data center buildouts face three major headwin...

Teacher Loses Career Over Two-Word Facebook Post Supporting ICE
James Heidorn, who taught at Gary Elementary School in West Chicago, found himself at the center of a community firestorm that cost him not just his teaching position but his identity as an educator, all for posting two words on Facebook: "Go ICE."
The incident began in late January when Heidorn, a 14-year physical education teacher, responded to a news story about a local police department pledging cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. His personal Facebook post sparked immediate backlash in the heavily Hispanic district, with local activists circulating screenshots and demanding action against him.
School officials quickly notified Heidorn on Jan. 22 about growing social media chatter.
After meeting with HR staff that same day, he resigned briefly, then rescinded his decision hours later.
He was set to return on Monday pending an investigation. The investigation never got that chance.
