Social Media Faces New Regulations and AI Data Backlash

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take

Platforms should stop treating user data as free training fodder before regulators force them to, starting with a clear opt-in for AI use.

💡 Why it matters

These actions signal a global shift toward stricter social media oversight that could reshape how platforms handle child safety, harmful content, and user data rights.

New Zealand's prime minister plans to introduce a bill banning children under 16 from social media, with fines up to 10% of global revenue for non-compliance. In the UK, the government has ordered platforms to remove dangerous driving content after a fatal A66 crash, while platforms continue training AI on user content with limited opt-out options.
