Chuffed! Thanks @Provoke_News & @battenhall 💥🎊

What I’d love to see: progressive tech reforms, education programs and a better understanding of how agile teen digital escape artists really are. If govts think banning social media for kids will make lives safer, they are sorely mistaken as to how the real world really works.

We’re about to find out what’s more harmful to teens than algorithmically shaped, moderated and peer-protected social media. It’s AI companions, dark social and fake social IDs.

Australia’s under-16 social media ban is now in force, and here’s the biggest reason it will backfire: Teens are safer on social media than on the alternative, which includes messaging apps used as social networks, dark social, and fake-age permitted adult social.

Twitch and Kick added to the list of social media that will be banned for Australia’s under-16s from December 10th. https://t.co/HuYW1LICg4

Employees are still anxious about AI. Here’s how leaders can help ease that anxiety.

Big day today it’s the annual Battenhall social media briefing event at The British Library in London. 300 brands registered to attend this year and I need to finish learning my lines. 🙏🏼☕️💥

Proud as punch to win two agency of the year awards at PR Week last night.

A primer on Sora, ChatGPT's AI social network that has hit 1m users faster than anything before it. You need invite codes, a U.S. account, and ChatGPT Pro... for now. But brands are in the mix, as are influencers, real and synthetic alike. https://t.co/0R97zUz7jx

Looking for followers on Sora 2. And yep I have invite codes but mainly want to follow my network on there 👋🏼 https://t.co/jotmbJrQ9w

Decided to start writing my Substack again. Thoughts on the year ahead in social media…

This is a research project by Raise, and one which has been worked on through numerous teen focus groups, volunteer planning sessions, and which I hope will be of use to media and regulators alike once it's complete.

It is fascinating seeing how, through social media, AI is becoming many users' top friend. But if you know someone with children, please ask them to read this, as it's important in shaping how we understand how kids are affected by AI and social media https://t.co/4BIsUBF5SW.

UK Bitchat is wild. A slap involves trout. @jack I look forward to groups which users are asking for

Since AI agents got released my inbox spam levels have gone off the charts. Also, numerous ones citing that ‘Julie’ told them I might need their help on xyz and do I want to schedule a chat. I have no idea who Julie is. Who is this Julie all you AI agent spammers speak of

Very cool developments to essentially create an offline internet, wiry Bitchat and Bitle carving the path

Imagine a world where power cuts are frequent, where data is down, or too expensive, and yet everyone has a phone. Creating a way for people to communicate is just part of what @jack has done with Bitchat. But offline instant access to information, money, news, imagine that.

Bitchat is FAST. Using it in London, stood next to one of the people online and messages appear instantly on your app and within a split second for others. Compare that with social media where it’s always a few seconds. @jack has figured out how to make social media instant again

Loving Bitchat so far. Feels like OG Twitter meets WhatsApp meets Reddit. Dorsey’s new experiment leans into social media culture: it works offline, disappearing content, anonymous users, no tracking, panic mode, etc etc. Good or bad idea? I look forward to finding out!

You know what Gen Z is fanatical about - checking the UV. Another app built over a weekend by @Jack. LOVE the simplicity of it am already hooked. It's hard to find in the UK app store and I expect other countries, so here's a link. https://t.co/eOzcUBu6y5
