The world’s first teen social-media ban is here. Could the U.S. be next?

from Apple News Today

Australia’s social-media ban for under-16s takes effect today. NBC News reports on how the law is dividing Australians between those who see it as an overreach and those who view it as necessary protection. The Federal Reserve is expected to make another rate cut today despite opposition from some members of its board. The Wall Street Journal’s Nick Timiraos explains how both internal and external pressures are shaping the decision. President Trump has accused political foes of mortgage fraud for claiming more than one primary residence. ProPublica’s Justin Elliott breaks down how Trump himself has engaged in the same behavior. Plus, Miami elected a Democratic mayor for the first time in nearly 30 years, why this year’s Nobel Peace Prize recipient will not receive the award in person, and Denmark is to end letter delivery after four centuries. Today’s episode was hosted by Shumita Basu.
