Google Says Australian Law On Teen Social Media Use Could Have 'Unintended Consequences'

Google Says Australian Law On Teen Social Media Use Could Have 'Unintended Consequences'

Australia is set to become the first country in the world to block social media use for anyone under 16, but Google says enforcing this law will be extremely hard. The company warned that the initiative may not make children safer online and could have unintended effects. Instead of asking social media platforms to verify ages, the government wants them to rely on AI and behavioural data to estimate a user’s age, Reuters reported.  Google officials say stronger online safety tools, not outright bans, are the key to protecting kids. Google On Australia's Social Media Law  In a parliamentary hearing, Rachel Lord, YouTube’s senior manager for government affairs in Australia, said the legislation is “well-intentioned” but will be very difficult to enforce.  Platforms won’t have to check the age of every user directly. Instead, companies are expected to use artificial intelligence and behavioural signals to figure out who is under 16.  Google argues that this method may not be accurate and could result in mistakes, either unfairly blocking some teens or missing other underage users. Google also pointed out that banning access won’t automatically make children safer. Lord explained that online safety depends on giving parents tools to guide children’s activity and using safety features to prevent harmful content. “Stopping kids from going online is not the solution,” she said. YouTube Included Under Australia Social Media Rules? YouTube was recently added to the list of sites affected by the law, even though it was initially exempt because it is widely used by teachers.  Google maintains that YouTube is primarily a video-sharing platform, not social media. The company said it is communicating with officials in both Australia and the U.S. to highlight the challenges of the law. Australia passed the Online Safety Amendment in November 2024, giving companies a year to comply. By December 10, platforms are expected to deactivate accounts of under-16 users.  The move reflects the government’s concern about social media’s effects on youth mental health.  Google says legislation should support safety features and education rather than restrict access entirely.

India’s sunshine hours are shrinking every year: Scientists link alarming decline to pollution

India is experiencing a significant decline in sunshine hours, with northern plains seeing the steepest annual drop. Researchers attribute this dimming to rising air pollution from industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, and crop burning, compounded by increased monsoon cloud cover. This trend poses challenges for solar power generation and agricultural productivity, necessitating urgent action on air quality.

GST Cuts Have Spurred The Indian Car Buyers To Splurge On Even Luxury Cars Like Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz has had a bumper festive season with record Navratri sales where it sold a new car every six minutes! With an average price nudging a crore, that is a staggering number. The German luxury carmaker sold 2,500 units during Navratri on the back of GST 2.0 boost by the Government. Total Q2 FY 25-26 sales were a record 5119 units. The GST cuts it seems have meant that luxury car buyers who held back on purchases went ahead with the sales reflecting this. The best selling car for Mercedes-Benz in India continues to be the E-Class which post its update has been selling more. There are savings for about Rs 4.5 lakh on the E-Class while the range topping E450 has a price of Rs 91.6 lakh. The luxury sedan has achieved its highest ever growth at 47percent y-o-y, during Q2 FY 25-26. The current E-Class remains the best seller in the luxury space. Other popular cars were the GLC, GLE, GLS and G63 SUVs which achieved their best selling sales. These are the top-end SUVs costing more than a crore in many cases which further shows the changing appetite for luxury cars in India. The GST cuts came into effect from 22nd which increased the sales and that sentiment will continue into the remaining festive season. Mercedes-Benz has a vast product range from SUVs to sedans but its top-tier products are the ones which are selling more with the E-Class being more successful over other sedans. It is clear that Mercedes-Benz cars with a higher pricing has more demand as buyers seek value rather than outright price.

Samsung Electronics Set For Highest Q3 Profit In Three Years As AI Boosts Memory Chip Prices

Samsung Electronics Set For Highest Q3 Profit In Three Years As AI Boosts Memory Chip Prices

Samsung Electronics appears set to record its highest third-quarter profit since 2022, with analysts attributing the boost to rising memory chip prices amid growing AI adoption. LSEG SmartEstimate, which aggregates projections from 31 leading analysts, forecasts Samsung’s operating profit at 10.1 trillion won ($7.11 billion) for July-September 2025, marking a 10 per cent rise year-on-year. The recovery is primarily credited to conventional memory chip pricing, which has helped offset slower sales of high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips. HBM supplies to Nvidia (NVDA.O) have yet to commence, restricting growth in this high-performance segment. HBM chips, essential for AI workloads, enable stacked-chip designs to process massive datasets efficiently while lowering power use. Analyst reports indicate that AI investments, including services such as ChatGPT, have increased server demand, pushing DRAM prices up 171.8 per cent year-on-year for the third quarter. The pricing spike in conventional memory has been critical to Samsung’s projected Q3 profit rebound. Challenges from Delayed HBM Supplies and China Exposure Delays in HBM3E chip deliveries to Nvidia have impacted Samsung’s profitability, while competitors SK Hynix and Micron have benefitted more quickly from AI-led demand. Samsung’s operations in China, constrained by US restrictions on advanced chip sales, have also limited expansion opportunities. Investor sentiment is improving as Samsung secures high-profile supply deals with Tesla and OpenAI. The July announcement of Samsung’s $16.5 billion foundry deal with Tesla boosted its share price by over 43 per cent. Additionally, collaborations with OpenAI during CEO Sam Altman’s visit to South Korea include supplying advanced memory chips for the Stargate AI project. Analysts note that these partnerships position Samsung to capitalise on growing AI demand, alongside AMD-related deals benefiting the firm’s HBM business. Risks Ahead Despite Positive Momentum Despite optimism, potential risks linger. US tariffs on chips and China’s tighter export controls on rare earth materials may create headwinds. Micron’s announcement of selling out all HBM chips for 2026 highlights strong market demand, reinforcing opportunities and competition for Samsung. Samsung will publish its Q3 revenue and operating profit estimates on Tuesday, with the detailed results expected later this month, providing a clearer picture of the firm’s performance in the AI-driven semiconductor landscape.
