Australia Probes Social Media Over Under-16 Ban Compliance

Australia’s online safety regulator, eSafety, is investigating Meta, Snap, TikTok, and YouTube for potentially failing to enforce the country’s social media ban for users under 16, effective since December 2025. Expressing “significant concerns” over children bypassing age restrictions, eSafety is gathering evidence for enforcement actions, which could include fines up to A$49.5 million ($34 million), with decisions expected by mid-year. This probe follows a recent US ruling that held Meta and Alphabet liable for a young woman’s social media-related addiction and mental health issues.

SpaceX Starlink Satellite Breakup Under Investigation

SpaceX lost contact with Starlink satellite 34343 on March 29 due to an “unspecified anomaly” at 348 miles altitude. Analysis confirms the remains pose no risk to the ISS or Artemis II, nor will they affect the March 30 Transporter-16 mission. LeoLabs confirmed a “fragment creation event,” similar to a December 17, 2025 incident, believing both were “likely caused by an internal energetic source,” not a collision or geomagnetic storm. SpaceX is monitoring for debris and working to find the root cause of both anomalies to implement corrective actions.

Google Enables Gmail Address Changes Without Data Loss

Google is rolling out a new feature in the U.S. that allows users to change their Gmail address without losing their data or needing to start a new account. This process is accessible through the Google Account settings under Personal info > Email > Google Account email, where a “Change Google Account email” button will appear, though the company notes that users can only change their username once every 12 months. The old email will be preserved as an alternate sign-in option.

California Sets AI Safety Rules for State Contractors

California Governor Gavin Newsom issued a landmark executive order establishing safety and privacy guardrails for A.I. companies seeking state contracts. The order mandates that contractors detail safety policies covering exploitation, illegal content, surveillance, speech restriction, and bias. California will independently assess supply chain risks for contractors. Additionally, state-generated A.I. content must be watermarked to combat misinformation.

Apple’s “Hide My Email” Doesn’t Shield Users From Warrants

Apple’s “Hide My Email” feature doesn’t guarantee anonymity from law enforcement, as court documents show Apple provided the real identities of at least two customers to the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) in response to search warrants. For example, in an FBI threat investigation, Apple disclosed a user’s full name, real email, and records for 134 anonymized accounts. This highlights that despite Apple’s touted encryption, legal warrants can compel the company to reveal customer data, including names and billing information.

Google Cracks Down on Android Sideloading Security

Google is immediately mandating Android developer verification to boost security against malicious sideloaded apps. Play Console users are automatically registered, and others can start verifying now. Unregistered sideloading remains possible via an advanced flow for hobbyists/students, but a 24-hour delay will deter rapid malicious installs. While most users won’t notice changes, new requirements affect those using ADB or the advanced flow. The system launches in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand this September, with a global rollout in 2027.

Waymo Expands Robotaxi Service to Texas Airport

Waymo is expanding its robotaxi service with a fourth airport launch at San Antonio International, its first in Texas, joining Phoenix, San Francisco, and San Jose. The San Antonio service, launched in February, is currently invitation-only but plans a full public launch soon. Despite rapid global expansion targeting 20 new cities and achieving over 500,000 paid weekly rides, Waymo faces regulatory scrutiny from NHTSA and NTSB due to safety incidents, requiring ongoing software updates and support from remote and roadside assistance teams.

Show Notes

At the Atmosphere conference over the weekend, social networking service Bluesky announced an app called Attie, an AI assistant able to create custom Bluesky feeds using natural language. Users can login with their Bluesky credentials or credentials from other AT protocol apps and ask Attie to create a feed like “posts about folklore, mythology, and traditional music, especially Celtic traditions.” These new feeds will only be available within the app to start. In the future, the app plans to enable Attie users to vibe code their own social media apps and create tools for others. Atmosphere conference attendees will be the initial beta testers for the new app, with no date given for a wider rollout, but there is a signup for the waitlist at attie.ai.

The Financial Times reports recruiters at major companies are making attempts to prevent applicants from using AI during interviews. Global vice-president for talent acquisition at L’Oréal Michael Kienle shared his team of recruiters experienced candidates merely reading AI-generated answers to questions. Other companies detected fully AI avatars used instead of the actual person in interviews. Deel, an HR platform, published in their February data that over 40% of employers have extended probation periods in order to properly assess potential employee ‘true’ skills and knowledge. In 2025 The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants began requiring candidates to take assessments in person, outside of extenuating circumstances, in order to reduce AI cheating in exams. Some employers share AI will or may still be used to filter applications.

Business Insider reports the wait times for getting apps approved for the Apple App Store are getting longer due to the proliferation of vibe coded app submissions. According to Sensor Tower, the number of iOS apps released in the US grew 54.8% year-over-year, the highest in previous four years. Business Insider interviewed a vibe coder saying the store is “overloaded with people like me submitting tons of apps” and it taking up to six weeks to get the app live. The Apple App Store submission process involves actual human reviewers. There is a mechanism to request expedited reviews, but that’s normally intended for updates with critical bug and security fixes.

The Austrian government will introduce legislation to ban social media for kids under 14 years old, with the bill expected to be introduced sometime in June. Vice chancellor and leader of the Social Democratic Party of Austria Andreas Babler said this bill includes the new age restriction, clear rules for social media platforms, as well as improved media literacy, though no further details are public at this stage. Australia and Indonesia implemented social media bans for youths while Spain, the UK, and Denmark are planning similar measures.

Meta is testing a new subscription service called Instagram Plus. The test is ongoing with a small subset of users in various markets, including Mexico and the Philippines, and not widely available at this time. On X, social media analyst Matt Navarra shared the feature list: including multiple story audiences, extended story expiration, more detailed story insights, a searchable story viewer list, and the ability to send super hearts to stories. This is all similar to the existing subscription service Snapchat+.

Pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly reached a $2.75 billion deal with Hong Kong-based Insilico Medicine to bring drugs developed with AI to the global market. Insilico has developed over 28 drugs with its generative AI tools, half of which are currently in a clinical testing stage. Founder and CEO of Insilico Alex Zhavoronkov told CNBC that AI reduces research time and can synthesize molecules more quickly than existing traditional methods.

Samsung is launching an AI Wine Refrigerator as part of its premium Infinite line. The included AI Wine Manager functions through a top-mounted camera to detect when bottles are added or removed, scanning the label and logging details like the name, vintage, and grape variety for the SmartThings app. The refrigerator can hold up to 101 bottles with three cooling zones, has UV blocking glass, and a low-vibration compressor. It also costs 6,499,000 won, approximately $4,300 USD.

Anthropic Tightens Claude Usage

Increased demand for Claude has prompted Anthropic to limit peak-hour usage (5 a.m.–11 a.m. PT), causing about 7% of users, especially those running token-heavy tasks, to hit session caps faster, though weekly limits remain unchanged. This reflects broader pressure across the AI industry.
