Next option: The Trump administration is said to be working on a backup plan in case the Supreme Court ends up striking down any tariff decisions. Who’s who? Interesting developments are happening in the world of social media, with a big one taking place over the weekend. X, the platform previously known as Twitter, quietly rolled out an account information feature to bring more transparency to the network and call out bots or bad actors. It allows users to see where an account is based, how many times usernames were changed, the original join date, and how the X app was downloaded. (3 comments) Bigger picture: Instagram (META) has had a similar feature for a while, but also includes “not shared” statuses. It’s part of a broader rollout to stop the spread of disinformation and coordinated campaigns, while maintaining freedom of expression for vulnerable groups. X is also apparently working on an additional feature that would display a warning if accounts are using a VPN to mask their location. “This is an important first step to securing the integrity of the global town square. We plan to provide many more ways for users to verify the authenticity of the content they see on X,” wrote Nikita Bier, Head of Product. Verification and transparency efforts are also going on elsewhere. Last year, Australia became the first country in the world to ban social media for children under the age of 16, with enforcement set to go into effect from next month (Denmark recently followed suit, with Malaysia likely as well). The onus will be on platforms to take “reasonable steps” to prevent kids from creating accounts, with massive fines in place for non-compliance. How companies are preparing: Various methods that can be employed include government IDs and facial age estimation based on biometric data, as well as behavioral inferences from user activity and other safeguards.
