Episode Details

France just became the first country in Europe to ban social media for anyone under 15, the UK's incoming PM dropped the digital ID scheme entirely, and California's Senate killed its browser-level age mandate and carved out open source operating systems. Also this week: a hidden device installed by dealers that leaves millions of US cars open to Bluetooth attacks, new stats showing most Chat Control reports are false alarms, and courts forcing Apple and Google to open up their platforms.
