YouTube removes strong profanity restrictions from first 7 seconds- YouTube allows strong profanity in video openings while maintaining monetization limits for titles and thumbnails.
YouTube announced July 29, 2025, that videos containing strong profanity in the first 7 seconds will now be eligible for full ad revenue, reversing a policy that previously limited monetization for such content. The update, revealed through Jensen from TeamYouTube, eliminates restrictions that caused videos to earn limited or no ad revenue when strong language appeared during the opening moments.According to the announcement, the policy originally aligned YouTube's content standards with television broadcasting guidelines. "The policy originally aligned YouTube's content standards with the guidelines set for TV," the update states. However, advertiser tools now provide businesses with choices over ad placement based on content profanity levels, reducing the need for blanket restrictions.

Australia to ban under-16s from YouTube
Sydney (AFP) – Australia will use landmark social media laws to ban children under 16 from video-streaming site YouTube, a top minister said Wednesday stressing the need to shield them from "predatory algorithms".Communications Minister Anika Wells said four-in-ten Australian children had reported viewing harmful content on YouTube, one of the most visited websites in the world.
"We want kids to know who they are before platforms assume who they are," Wells said in a statement.
"There's a place for social media, but there's not a place for predatory algorithms targeting children."
Australia announced last year it was drafting laws that will ban children from social media sites such as Facebook, TikTok and Instagram until they turn 16.
The government had previously indicated YouTube would be exempt, given its widespread use in classrooms.
"Young people under the age of 16 will not be able to have accounts on YouTube," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters on Wednesday.
"They will also not be able to have accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and X among other platforms.
"We want Australian parents and families to know that we have got their back."
Albanese said the age limit may not be implemented perfectly -- much like existing restrictions on alcohol -- but it was still the right thing to do.
A spokesman for YouTube said Wednesday's announcement was a jarring U-turn from the government.
"Our position remains clear: YouTube is a video sharing platform with a library of free, high-quality content, increasingly viewed on TV screens," the company said in a statement.
"It's not social media."
On paper, the ban is one of the strictest in the world.
But the current legislation offers almost no details on how the rules will be enforced -- prompting concern among experts that it will simply be a symbolic piece of unenforceable legislation.
It is due to come into effect on December 10.
Social media giants -- which face fines of up to Aus$49.5 million (US$32 million) for failing to comply -- have described the laws as "vague", "problematic" and "rushed".
TikTok has accused the government of ignoring mental health, online safety and youth experts who had opposed the ban.
Meta -- owner of Facebook and Instagram -- has warned that the ban could place "an onerous burden on parents and teens".
The legislation has been closely monitored by other countries, with many weighing whether to implement similar bans.

As a parent of young kids....youtube is a complicated mess.
It is full of really great content; but YT kids sucks...so if you want access to the good stuff it is standard YT.
But the utter shit that shows up in the side bar and suggested videos is insane.
For older teens/adults; you don't have to worry about the shit tier garbage that is suggested.
I block the ads, but that is a whole other level of cringe/inappropriate content that just gets shoved into videos; completely unrelated to what is on.
You can use uBlock Origin to block the recommended section or another player like FreeTube which allows you to disable that section entirely.
FreeTube also offers Hide Videos and Playlists Containing Text feature in addition to general channel blocking. That should help tailoring content to kids where YouTube fails.

TikTok hires ex-Israeli army instructor as new hate speech manager, sparking backlash
TikTok's new hire to oversee hate speech policies for the app has long-standing ties to the Israeli army, the company confirmed to Jewish Insider on Monday.
The social media platform announced that Erica Mindel, a former US State Department contractor who worked for ambassador Deborah Lipstadt, the Biden administration’s special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, will join TikTok’s public policy and hate speech team in the US.
Mindel will “develop and drive the company’s positions on hate speech”, aim to “influence legislative and regulatory frameworks”, and “analyse hate speech trends” with a particular focus on antisemitic content, according to the official job description shared by TikTok.
Before her career at the US State Department, Mindel was an instructor in the Armoured Corps in the Israeli army’s spokesperson’s unit, according to information she provided when she appeared on a podcast with the American Jewish Committee.

AI finds speech patterns in Reddit hate groups mirror those in some psychiatric forums
our results indicate that hate speech communities on Reddit share speech patterns with Reddit communities for Schizoid Personality Disorder, three Cluster B personality disorders (Borderline, Narcissistic, and Antisocial), and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. While the Cluster B disorders would be expected due to prior studies into the Dark Triad and hate speech, this nonetheless offers confirmation that they are acting similarly to their Dark Triad counterparts when it comes to hate speech. Furthermore, the two non-Cluster B disorders have not been discussed in hate speech or misinformation literature to the best of our knowledge, and offer new routes of investigation.The association in speech patterns between certain psychiatric disorders and hate speech (and misinformation to a lesser extent) suggests that, despite hate speech and misinformation being a social phenomenon, framing and approaching hate speech/misinformation as though they were psychiatric disorders may prove beneficial in combating them. For example, designing counter-messaging against these issues could utilize elements of therapy used for the psychiatric disorders that are most similar to hate speech and misinformation. Although hate speech embeddings being classified most frequently as Cluster B personality disorders could be seen as problematic due to those disorders’ historical resistance to treatment, the successes in treating Borderline Personality Disorder through Dialectical Behavior Therapy indicates that treatment of these disorders is not impossible and could be applied here [59,60]. Furthermore, although hate speech shares similarities with Cluster B personality disorders, that does not mean that it actually is a Cluster B personality disorder; it is most likely less resistant to change than a personality disorder is.
Misinformation’s relations to psychiatric disorder communities proved to remain elusive; a clear connection can be seen in the TDA mapping, and zero-shot classification had over 25% of the misinformation embeddings assigned to psychiatric disorders, but it was difficult to elucidate a clear pattern with the dataset at hand. A more robust dataset may be able to identify clearer trends.

Labour rules out VPN ban in UK but issues warning to UK households

With Proton VPN downloads skyrocketing in th UK, the Online Safety Bill has lead to fears that VPNs can be banned in the country entirely. Although the ruling Labour Government has ruled out a VPN ban, Tech Secretary Peter Kyle has issued a warning to VPN users.
“Adults should get behind the aid verification system, because every time they do it, you keep a child safe.” Kyle told The Telegraph last week in a warning: "If platforms or sites signpost towards workarounds like VPNs, then that itself is a crime and will be tackled by these codes.

Naah JS is fine, just use TypeScript!
TypeScript does not throw an error at compile time for accessing an out-of-bounds index. Instead, it assumes that the value could be one of the types defined in the array (in this case, 1 or 2) or undefined.
TypeScript automatically infers the type of a value accessed from an array, even if that access is out of bounds. It assumes that the value could be one of the defined types or undefined, which can lead to confusion if you expect stricter enforcement of valid indices.
I just spent the last 2 hours trying to understand why I was getting a valid type from something that shouldn't have been valid.
I think that the hate that JavaScript receives is well deserved, at least coming from Rust this is an absolute nightmare.
To add to my own comment, I want to remind you that JavaScript was designed to power websites, and having an entire website break because an array didn’t have anything in it yet is probably worse than the alternative.
A lot of JS’ decisions actually make sense when you understand its history. That doesn’t mean it’s a great language, but it’s undeniably good at fulfilling its original purpose, making websites interactive in myriad different browser implementations.
Yes you're probably right, I definitely have bias and the time spent tryna fix the bug influenced this..

This study on the impact of AI on perceived developer productivity is making the rounds. I find @simon, Quentin Anthony, and @gergelyorosz’s take the most interesting.
My personal theory is that getting a significant productivity boost from LLM assistance and AI tools has a much steeper learning curve than most people expect.news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4…
It’s super easy to get distracted in the downtime while LLMs are generating. The social media attention economy is brutal, and I think people spend 30 mins scrolling while “waiting” for their 30-second generation.
I cannot stay in the zone when using a time-saving AI coding tool; I need to do something else while code is being generated, so context switches are forced, and each one slows me down. It’s a distraction.
I can confirm the danger of getting distracted when working with AI. I’ve learnt and continue to learn how to best leverage Cursor in my daily work. I know its impact on my productivity is very different depending on the projects I work on. I know I must use Cursor differently depending on the codebase I work with. I know I’m not as productive as I would like with some project types, because I haven’t found the best way to organize my work yet.
But I think the same was true when I worked without the help of AI.
Cursor makes developers less effective?
A study into the workflows of experienced developers found that devs who use Cursor for bugfixes are around 19% slower than devs who use no AI tools at all. One possible takeaway is that AI tools can be harder work than we’re led to believe.Gergely Orosz (The Pragmatic Engineer)

The dangerously blurry line between wellness and medical tech
Let me catch you up. On July 15th, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent Whoop a letter. In it, the FDA declared that Whoop — maker of a niche fitness tracker favored by elite athletes — had crossed a line. Its new Blood Pressure Insights feature, the regulator said, was being marketed to customers without undergoing the proper clearance process.In response, Whoop pulled out the W word: wellness.
In the world of health and wearable tech, “wellness” is sort of like a “get out of jail free” card. Some advanced health features, like EKGs and atrial fibrillation notifications, require regulatory clearance before consumers can use them. These features could be interpreted as diagnostic in nature or prompt a person to make a medical decision. Others, like step tracking and blood oxygen measurements, don’t require FDA oversight at all. They’re simply meant to make living a healthy life easier by helping you visualize certain measurable markers. Those features fall under the wellness umbrella. They’re “just for fun.”

It’s interesting how almost every model released in 2025 has specifically targeting coding. That focus has clearly been paying off: these coding models are getting really good now.
I still contend that this sort of task is uniquely positioned to show off LLMs. The idea that they'll turn into agents that can do real-world tasks remains a fantasy. Despite how impressive this is, they're losing money and have no real path to profitability.
Look up Ed Zitron's newsletter and podcast for more info on why the industry is a bubble. I'm genuinely impressed with this specific example, but our economy is gonna suffer when the bubble bursts.

At Eleventh Hour, Enablers of Israel's Mass Starvation of Gaza Do 'Reputational Damage Control'
As Common Dreams reported this week, Integrated Food Security Phase Classification has said that 85% of people in Gaza are now in Phase 5 of famine, defined at "an extreme deprivation of food."Organizer and attorney Aaron Regunberg said that instead of simply doing "reputational damage control by speaking up in these very last moments," powerful political leaders must "shut shit down."
”You want history books to not record you as an evil genocide supporter?" said Regunberg. "One speech now—after countless speeches condemning those who have been speaking out—ain't gonna cut it... You need to go to Gaza. You need to actually make an impact, NOW."

Ma, io ho trovato qualcosa di più (ovviamente, e sennò che esisto a fare). 😈
Ecco, nel 2025 la situazione con i telefoni (e suppongo i tablet) Xiaomi è così terribile per quanto riguarda lo sblocco del bootloader — questione che non è il caso di approfondire ora, pena il perdere in un lampo completamente fiducia nell’intera industria dei personal computer tascabili (oltre che in #Xiaomi in particolare, ovviamente; -50 crediti sociali) — che un tizio evidentemente disperato ha diffuso un nuovo META: chiedere ad un negozio ufficiale di fare un downgrade del firmware, processo per cui ti devono temporaneamente sbloccare il bootloader, quindi scippare il tuo stesso dispositivo all’impiegato al momento giusto! 😤

Una curiosità: per quanto mi è concesso comprendere attraverso i traduttori, la pratica ha subito preso l’appellativo informale di “小米马拉松” o “小米馬拉松”, cioè “MARATONA XIAOMI“… non ce la posso fare!!! E data questa denominazione, giustamente, è partito il meme dell'”esame fisico di ammissione al college sportivo di Xiaomi“… perché giustamente devi prendere rapidamente il dispositivo e scappare, immediatamente. Anche se non capisco in realtà come mai si debba scappare, visto che non si sta commettendo un furto (come sarebbe facile pensare a primo impatto); ci si sta semplicemente riprendendo il proprio dispositivo affidato in assistenza prima che il lavoro sia compiuto… Boh. Certamente comunque il tempismo è importante, e per completare la missione con successo devi aiutarti guardando in qualche modo cosa accade sul computer dell’impiegato… se stacchi e porti via l’affare troppo presto rischi che ancora non sia sbloccato, mentre se lo fai troppo tardi potrebbe già essere iniziato il flash del firmware, e quindi il rischio brick è dietro l’angolo. Statv’ accort. 😳
Non ricarico qui nel post i video, perché se ne metto uno poi voglio metterli tutti, e sarebbero troppi… però, questo meme piazzato alla fine di uno dei video non potevo assolutamente lasciarlo lì.

The United Nations Reliefs and Work Agency (Unrwa) has hit back at a smear campaign launched by Israel and the US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund (GHF) accusing the UN of failing to deliver aid and being responsible for the mass famine underway in Gaza…Syma Mohammed (Middle East Eye)

Right, cause as we all know, it was the UN that illegally boarded a ship in international waters and pretty much kidnapped it's crew just cause their efforts to get supplies into Gaza was topping the news cycle. Wait, no, that of course was Israel's doing.
Fuckin fascist assholes. I'm referring of course to that mission that Greta joined. But can't let compassion for the indigenous people of the land they are stealing overtake the news cycle cuz that makes it hard to convince people that Israel are the victims.
I cannot comprehend reacting with anger and hatred cause somebody is trying to get food to starving children, let alone the disgusting level of bigotry it takes to intentionally starve an entire population to death.

Fear & Hunger is a goddamn masterpiece. Yes, it has depictions of nonconsensual sexual acts. It's in keeping with the lore of a world that is truly fucked even beyond our reality. It's an integral part of the worldbuilding, and it is by no means glorified.

NFT is a very small subset of "Cryptos".
On a more serious note, you really do prefer VISA MasterCard to dictate what is to be censored or not rather than using crypto currencies ?

in reply to Klopstock • • •Do you think it happen randomly that payment processors are unavoidable to get crypto money ? Because it's clearly on purpose and a way to control a market they didn't have any leverage on.
Still the take above of "I would rather support payment processors than Cryptos" still sound super dumb to me. People are so extreme on their assessment of technologies here. There is no nuance. AI is all bad, crypto is all bad that's pretty much the tone here.

in reply to Tetsuo • • •Until one emerges that's even slightly stable enough to use as a secure currency (and not a stablecoin...), there can never be the kind of broad adoption introducing an entire separate exchange paradigm to the global economy would require. And that's aside from the technical requirements that aren't met - there's no crypto network that could even come close to handling the load put on ex: the ACH, meaning awful lag on every transaction.
It's just not there yet, and pretending like extreme reactions to a comment that's both condescending and insulting to the users who disagree with you are unreasonable - or a reflection of nuanced opinions on cryptocurrencies in general- is disingenuous enough to be concerning. Surely you must see the flaws in how you're behaving here.

in reply to Vanilla_PuddinFudge • • •The issues are layered but the core aspect is that everyone can get scammed and banks have protections for getting your money stolen while crypto doesn't.
But the more visible issue is just how the unregulated aspect of it being used to scam people predominantly has marred the topic for so many people to the point where people just want to stay away from it all. If anything I think it ends up being a good example for how people need regulation and we can't just have anarchy because people will take advantage of other people.
To add a metaphor, sure it's not the gun that does the killing it's the human, but regulating how the gun gets used does help with gun deaths a lot.

in reply to Vanilla_PuddinFudge • • •If people had used cryptocurrency as a currency instead of as a "it's totally not a security, we swear, even though we're only saying that to evade SEC regulations a little longer" there'd be a lot fewer people calling it a scam.
For sixteen years, crypto's only use cases seemed to be buying illegal goods and securities fraud. Finally, we have another use case presenting: perfectly legal transactions that credit card companies have gotten cold feet about.

in reply to meeeeetch • • •The SEC had every opportunity to make up it's fucking mind for years, but even after repeated promptings from all the big crypto exchanges, they kept putting things off and randomly throwing lawsuits for violations for things they were asked for guidance on.
Also, this is the exact kind of transaction they had in mind when they created the tech, but everyone decided it was only ever for drugs, because that's what the Wall St owned media told them to think

in reply to Bronzebeard • • •What were the completely legal products that had Visa and Mastercard standing on the sidelines in 2009? Because without a real life example, I don't think big media had to do much to get people to ignore this use case at the time.

in reply to themachinestops • • •First, I don't understand why processors give a fuck. Do they imagine people are going to just stop using credit in protest of how other people spend their money? Tell me another fucking joke.
Second, I'm not a game developer, but I suddenly want to make a horror game that includes graphic, exploitive, gratuitous depictions of everything they complain about. And name the game Collective Shriek.

in reply to Mirshe • • •NOW that they've started curating, that has become way more likely to actually happen. They could have claimed to be a neutral carrier before. Actively filtering means they've decided to take on that responsibility, and the consequences for missing stuff.

If visa doesn't want people to purchase game X with Visa, then remove Visa as payment option for buying game X.
