London, United Kingdom – November 30, 2024 – (SeaPRwire) – Recently, ACET celebrated reaching 150,000 holders worldwide. ACET founder Worawat “Acme” Narknawdee the 36-year old visionary Billionnaire, financial innovator, investor, and entrepreneur is calling on the Thai government to embrace Bitcoin as part of its international reserve fund. The Possibility of Bitcoin as Thailand’s Reserve Fund Acme believes that Bitcoin is no longer just a digital currency, but a force poised to transform the global economy. With Bitcoin’s market value surging to unprecedented heights, Acme argues that now is the time for Thailand to position itself as a leader in the digital age. Acme envisions Bitcoin as an indispensable asset that can help Thailand diversify its financial reserves, improve economic stability, and lead the way in blockchain innovation. While the volatility and regulatory concerns surrounding Bitcoin are valid, Acme believes these obstacles are surmountable with proper education, infrastructure, and regulatory reform. “Thailand stands at a crossroads,” Acme explained. “The future of money is digital, and Bitcoin is the key to unlocking the potential of a fully digital economy. By taking bold steps today, Thailand can lead the region and set the stage for long-term prosperity in the global digital economy.” “Bitcoin is more than a currency,” said Acme. “It is a revolutionary technology that can drive the future of finance, and Thailand has the potential to lead this charge.” His proposal is to integrate Bitcoin into Thailand’s reserves to enhance economic diversification, improve resilience against global volatility, and ultimately fuel the country’s digital economy. This strategic move could place Thailand at the forefront of blockchain technology and digital currency adoption in Southeast Asia. The Bold Path Forward Acme’s proposal may seem daring, but it offers an opportunity for Thailand to embrace the future, tapping into the transformative power of Bitcoin and blockchain technology. As the world increasingly moves toward a digital-first economy, Thailand’s decision to integrate Bitcoin into its reserves could serve as a catalyst for long-term growth and innovation, attracting global investment and positioning the nation as a true leader in the digital era. About Acme, Founder of ACET Since 2012, Acme has not only been an avid investor but also the largest Bitcoin holder in Thailand. While the exact number of BItcoins owned by Mr. Worawat has not yet been disclosed, sources from the crypto community estimated he was holding at least 11,000 BTC, more thn twice the amount of Bitcoins held by the Government of El Salvador, which declared Bitcoin as a legal tender in 2021. His commitment to the cryptocurrency ecosystem has shaped him into a thought leader in the space. In 2021, Acme solidified his place in the global fintech arena by launching ACT (ACET), a cryptocurrency coin that now boasts over 150,000 holders worldwide, with a total market value of more than $300 million USD. Acme’s influence extends beyond business. Known for his philanthropy, he has held two record-breaking Bitcoin giveaways, in 2017 and 2021, where he gifted a combined total of 16 Bitcoins (worth over 1.5 million USD at today’s prices) to fans, promoting cryptocurrency education and awareness. His commitment to sharing knowledge and empowering others has made him a household name in Thailand’s crypto community and beyond.

Launch of Demonstration Test for CO2 Capture from Chemical Recovery Boilers at Paper Mills in Japan
TOKYO, Nov 29, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) and Hokuetsu Corporation, one of Japan's leading paper manufacturers, launched a CO2 capture demonstration test at Niigata Mill (Niigata City), in November. This demonstration test aims to capture CO2 from a chemical recovery boiler that produces the steam and electricity needed for paper manufacturing, by using MHI's "CO2MPACT™ Mobile(Note)", a compact CO2 capture system. This is the first case in which MHI's CO2 capture technology is being applied to the pulp and paper industry. This demonstration test will allow MHI to analyze and evaluate data for commercial application and accelerate decarbonization in this industry.Chemical recovery boilers use "black liquor" as their main fuel, which is generated as a by-product in the pulp production process, the raw material for paper. The wood chips are dissolved in a sodium-containing solvent known as "white liquor" to extract the pulp, and the white liquor component is recovered from the black liquor residue that remains after combustion and is re-circulated for reuse.As the need for decarbonization grows around the world, Japan is also actively engaged in decarbonization efforts in various industrial sectors. And the pulp and paper industry is one of them. This demonstration test is expected to provide the pulp and paper industry with a solution that contributes to further global environmental measures by directly capturing CO2 emissions in the production process.MHI Group has formally declared its intent to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040, and the Company is now working strategically to decarbonize both the energy demand and supply sides. A core element of the Company's "Energy Transition," which targets decarbonization on the energy supply side, is the development of a CCUS value chain integrating diverse sources of carbon emissions with modes for carbon storage and utilization. Going forward, MHI Group will continue to proactively promote its CCUS business worldwide, applying its proprietary CO2 capture technologies, contributing as a solutions provider to reducing greenhouse gas emissions on a global scale, and developing further solutions that contribute to environmental protection.For details of the "CO2MPACT™" series, see the following press release: www.mhi.com/news/240919.htmlAbout MHI Group's CO2 capture technologiesMHI Group has been developing the KM CDR Process™ (Kansai Mitsubishi Carbon Dioxide Recovery Process) and the Advanced KM CDR Process™ in collaboration with the Kansai Electric Power Co., Inc. since 1990. As of November 2024, the Company has delivered 18 plants adopting these processes. The Advanced KM CDR Process™ adopts the KS-21™ solvent, which incorporates technological improvements over the amine-based KS-1™ and offers superior regeneration efficiency and lower deterioration than the KS-1™, and it has been verified to provide excellent energy saving performance, reduce operation costs, and result in low amine emissions.For further information on MHI Group's CO2 capture plants:https://www.mhi.com/products/engineering/co2plants.htmlAbout MHI GroupMitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Group is one of the world’s leading industrial groups, spanning energy, smart infrastructure, industrial machinery, aerospace and defense.

JAL and NEC Test AI-Powered Carry-On Baggage Analysis Solution
TOKYO, Nov 29, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Japan Airlines Co., Ltd. (JAL) and NEC Corporation (NEC) have jointly conducted a trial of the "NEC Baggage Counting Solution"(1), which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically analyze the quantity and types of carry-on baggage at boarding gates. The solution, a world first(2), enables measures to be taken for carry-on baggage, which is one of the causes of flight delays, aiming to improve on-time performance and ensure smooth boarding.Based on the results of this trial, JAL is exploring methods for implementing the solution in the future.BackgroundExcess cabin baggage can lead to congestion in the aisles as passengers spend extra time storing their items in the overhead bins. It may also result in baggage being transferred to the cargo compartment after boarding has commenced, thereby increasing boarding time and potentially causing flight delays.Overview of the trialConducted from April to September 2024 at Boarding Gate 13 in Terminal 1 of Tokyo International Airport (Haneda), the trial involved evaluating the solution’s analysis accuracy (detection and classification accuracy) and its alert timing for exceeding overhead storage limits to determine its effectiveness.Trial details:1. Cameras installed at the boarding gate capture footage, which is analyzed using AI to detect cabin baggage carried by passengers.2. Detected baggage is classified into predefined categories, and the space each item would occupy in overhead bins is estimated in real time.3. An alert is triggered when the estimated storage capacity reaches a preset threshold.Results and future prospectsThe solution enabled the collection and analysis of data on baggage amounts and alert frequency. This data can be used to develop concrete measures to prevent departure delays due to baggage storage and the reloading of baggage in the cargo compartment.Going forward, JAL will continue utilizing digital technology to ensure smoother boarding, improve punctuality, and optimize the overall customer experience. NEC provides end-to-end services for this kind of digital transformation (DX) through the "NEC BluStellar" value-delivery model.

Tuya Sees Steady Growth in Q3 Operations as Temasek Becomes Largest Institutional Shareholder
EQS Newswire / 29/11/2024 / 19:17 UTC+8 Tuya Inc. ("Tuya" or the "Company") recently announced that 65 Equity Partners, an independently managed wholly-owned investment platform of Temasek has acquired approximately 13% of Tuya's total issued shares from New Enterprise Associates ("NEA"), an investor in the Company for 10 years.NEA, founded in 1977 and headquartered in the United States, is a global venture capital firm with assets under management ("AUM") over US$25 billion as of June 30, 2024, primarily focused on the technology and healthcare sectors. In the nearly 50 years since its founding, NEA has achieved over 700 exits, including more than 280 portfolio company IPOs and more than 465 mergers and acquisitions.Following the transfer of around 13% of Tuya’s shares, NEA still retains a considerable amount of equity in the Company. Carmen Chang, who has invested in well-known projects such as ByteDance and Tuya, stated in the announcement that NEA has been a key stakeholder since Tuya's inception in 2014 and is pleased to remain a significant shareholder of the Company.65 Equity Partners was founded in 2021, with Tan Chong Lee, the former president of Temasek, serving as its CEO. Temasek has a long history of investing in many exceptional companies. In the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, Temasek's global investment portfolio net value reached S$389 billion, and its investment exposure in the Chinese market has been decreasing in recent years. According to Temasek's 2024 annual report, for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, the proportion of Chinese assets in Temasek's investment portfolio dropped to 19%, the first time in nearly a decade that it was lower than the American market and far below the 27% in the Singapore market.The transaction amount of the transfer accounts for a certain proportion of the incremental investment in Temasek's portfolio. Regarding this investment, Tan Chong Lee, CEO of 65 Equity Partners, stated that the investment aligns with 65 Equity Partners' mandate of supporting high-quality companies seeking a listing on the Singapore Exchange ("SGX").Is Temasek choosing Tuya solely because of its highly globalized nature that can help mitigate regional risks?From Tuya’s third-quarter financial report, we can have a glimpse of its development blueprint.1. Financial Data: Continued Achievements, Steady GrowthTuya recently released its third-quarter financial results. Founder and CEO Mr. Xueji (Jerry) Wang used "practical " to summarize the latest quarter's performance. By emphasizing practical strategies and focusing on execution, Tuya also demonstrated solid financial results for this quarter.Tuya achieved a total revenue of US$81.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, a year-on-year increase of 33.6%, exceeding the market consensus estimate by over 8% (Bloomberg's market consensus estimate for Q3 revenue before the announcement was US$75.5 million). The revenue of IoT Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) in the third quarter was US$57.9 million, an increase of 26.4% compared to US$45.8 million in the same period last year; Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and other revenue was US$9.9 million, an increase of 16.7% from US$8.5 million in the same period last year; The revenue from smart solution was US$13.8 million, an increase of approximately 102.9% compared to the same period last year's US$6.8 million.The sustainable development of Tuya relies on steady customer growth and scenario expansion. In Q3, the customer base increased year-on-year, and more leading companies in various industries around the world joined the Tuya ecosystem. The dollar-based net expansion rate ("DBNER") of IoT PaaS reached 124%, maintaining around 120% for three consecutive quarters, indicating the Company’s solid performance in retaining existing customers and generating revenue growth from them.At the same time, Tuya maintained an improved operating leverage, and specific data can verify that after achieving non-GAAP quarterly operating profit for the first time in Q2, the Company continued to maintain this profit trend in Q3, achieving a non-GAAP net profit of US$20.1 million; The non-GAAP net margin increased by 8.2 percentage points year-on-year to 24.7%, successfully achieving the business target.In respect of cash flow, the net cash generated from operating activities in Q3 was US$23.9 million, with a total net cash of over US$1 billion, demonstrating the Company's unique self-sustaining cash generation capabilities.Note: The slight increase in debt ratio at the end of September is due to the provision of a dividend of US$33 million announced by Tuya in September 2024. After excluding this dividend provision, its asset liability ratio is still only around 8%, which is a very strong level.Tuya saw its shareholder returns begin to increase thanks to steady growth in revenue and profitability, high customer stickiness, ever-increasing customer base, high net cash balance, and sustained positive cash flow contribution from main businesses, which may also be one of the factors that attracted Temasek.2. Win-Win Results in Global LayoutAs a long-term investor with value and risk return at its core, Temasek invests in the potential for sustainable growth and future development, rather than just short-term benefits.Temasek's decision to invest in Tuya by directly purchasing shares from NEA demonstrates its inclination towards long-term ownership.In addition, after the transaction is completed, Temasek will become the second largest shareholder of Tuya. This not only reflects Temasek's confidence in the Company's long-term stable development, but also its willingness to grow and share risks with the Company.Mr. Xueji (Jerry) Wang, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Tuya, stated that Temasek's investment is highly aligned with the Company’s international expansion strategy.As a top global investment institution, Temasek has extensive influence in the global investment field. 65 Equity Partners, a wholly-owned investment platform under its umbrella, is also a global investment firm focused on identifying market leaders in the consumer goods, industrial, business services, healthcare, and technology industries worldwide, with a particular emphasis on Southeast Asia, Europe, and the United States markets. Tuya also boasts a global perspective with the international market as its main battlefield, and it has rapidly expanded its global footprint in recent years in Southeast Asian, European, and Middle Eastern markets.From the perspective of business collaboration, Temasek, as a strong and resource-rich investor, holds the ability to bring new development opportunities for Tuya. 65 Equity Partners aims to collaborate with founders through leveraging their international influence to jointly create sustainable long-term value as a supportive and value-added partner. Tuya is expected to leverage Temasek's global network and 65 Equity Partners' industrial resources to accelerate its expansion into international markets.From an investment perspective, Temasek's support and endorsement can help Tuya attract more attention from global institutional investors. Temasek is also actively supporting high-quality companies to go public on the SGX. If Tuya pursues a listing on the SGX, it is expected to further enhance the Company’s liquidity and stimulate market vitality.3. Temasek Eyes More on Long-term Trends & Development PotentialTemasek's investment strategy is to capture structural trends and make proactive investments. Faced with global uncertainty, Temasek focuses on four key structural trends: digitalization, sustainable living, future of consumption, and longer lifespans. The core businesses of Tuya undoubtedly conforms to the above trends.After ten years of efforts, Tuya has become one of the world's leading third-party smart soluion cloud platform services providers. At present, the Company's customers have covered more than 200 countries and regions, and the number of registered developers on its developer platform has exceeded 1.26 million. From smart homes to smart cities, from consumer electronics to industrial manufacturing and energy management, Tuya has successfully attracted numerous leading companies across diverse industries globally.Currently, there is still much room for improvement in the penetration rate of smart devices and the like. Despite the tens of billions of consumer electronic devices in a broad sense, only a very small number of them are intelligent devices newly brought to the market, leaving about 95% that are still non-intelligent counterparts. The trend of intelligence is irreversible and creates great market potential.Furthermore, Tuya is empowering global customers with AI tools, including helping them launch Generative AI ("GenAI") applications and releasing a newly upgraded AI Agent development platform by combining GenAI technology with developer platforms. The unique advantage of Tuya lies in its profound accumulation in application scenarios and customer cases, which enables the Company to identify and implement the application of AI technology in practical scenarios more effectively, and make commercialization. The management also revealed that the Company is trying various cases to explore applications with commercial capabilities and the potential to scale up.Tuya is ready to seize future opportunities, a core signal conveyed through the heavyweight participation of powerful shareholders such as Temasek, and the steady progress in the Company’s business and operation, as well as the continuous improvement in business structure and ever-increasing investment in innovation. Therefore, the Company is undoubtedly an attractive value proposition in the fields of digital economy and artificial intelligence.It is like winning the match point to invest in a company featuring stable growth, excellent financial structure, and active dividend distribution. Only one trigger point or hit point is required.Will Temasek's participation serve as a trigger for Tuya’s value reassessment? Let's wait and see. 29/11/2024 Dissemination of a Financial Press Release, transmitted by EQS News.The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement.Media archive at www.todayir.com

Massachusetts Lawmakers Propose Statewide Tobacco Sales Ban “`
Several Massachusetts legislators are advocating for a state-wide ban on tobacco products, a move that would make Massachusetts a pioneer in this public health initiative. Other regions have explored similar "generational tobacco bans," which phase out tobacco use based on birth year, not just age. A 2018 Massachusetts law raised the minimum age for purchasing tobacco products (cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes) to 21. Massachusetts has also prohibited the sale of flavored tobacco to curb youth nicotine use. This new proposal, slated for filing next year, aims to further reduce smoking by gradually eliminating all nicotine and tobacco sales. Passage would mean that those too young to legally buy tobacco currently would never legally be able to do so in Massachusetts, preventing the creation of new users. Marijuana would not be included, and the cutoff date will be adjusted upon passage to exempt individuals aged 21 and older. First town to adopt a generational smoking ban Brookline, a Boston suburb with approximately 63,000 residents, became the nation's first municipality to implement such a ban in 2020. Instead of raising the purchasing age, the bylaw prohibits tobacco sales to anyone born after January 1, 2000. It took effect in 2021. This effectively means a future elimination of tobacco sales in the town. While challenged, the state’s supreme court upheld the ban earlier this year. Other Massachusetts towns and cities have also enacted similar bans, including Malden, Melrose, Reading, Stoneham, Wakefield, and Winchester. Unclear levels of support State Senator Jason Lewis (D), a proponent of the statewide proposal, stated the bill would "save countless lives and create a healthier world for the next generation.” He emphasized the devastating health consequences of nicotine and tobacco, particularly for young people. Nicotine and tobacco are highly addictive and increase the risk of lung cancer, heart disease, stroke, and other illnesses. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, almost all daily adult smokers started before age 18. Their 2024 data indicates that approximately 40% of students who have ever used tobacco products are current users. Peter Brennan, executive director of the New England Convenience Store and Energy Marketers Association, argued the proposal would harm small businesses that rely heavily on cigarette sales. It would also disadvantage stores near states where cigarette sales to adults remain legal. He called it "a terrible idea," asserting it infringes on adults' rights to purchase a legal, age-restricted product. He also suggested that such restrictions are likely unconstitutional and that past prohibitions on alcohol, marijuana, and gambling have been ineffective. Legislative support for the proposal remains uncertain. Massachusetts has implemented other anti-smoking measures, including cigarette tax increases. A phased statewide ban would likely lead to a decrease and eventual elimination of these taxes. Lewis countered that reduced healthcare costs and other savings would more than offset any loss in cigarette tax revenue. In 2022, 10.4% of Massachusetts adults reported smoking cigarettes, according to the state Department of Public Health. Other places weighing similar bans California lawmakers have introduced legislation to ban all tobacco sales to anyone born after January 1, 2007. In 2022, New Zealand became the first country to enact a law aiming for a lifetime ban on cigarette purchases for young people, prohibiting sales to those born after January 1, 2009. The law was later [further information needed]. In the U.K., Prime Minister Rishi Sunak proposed annually increasing the legal smoking age until a complete ban is achieved. This proposal failed to gain approval earlier this year.

Five Connecticut Congress Members Targeted by Bomb Threats
At least five Connecticut Democratic members of Congress were the targets of bomb threats at their homes on Thursday, according to the lawmakers or their offices. Senator Chris Murphy and Representatives Jim Himes, Joe Courtney, John Larson, and Jahana Hayes all reported receiving such threats. Responding police found no explosives at any of the lawmakers' residences. It remains unclear whether Representative Rosa DeLauro, the state's fifth Democratic House member, and Connecticut's other Democratic senator received similar threats. These threats against Democrats occurred one day after several prominent figures associated with President-elect Donald Trump reported receiving bomb threats and "swatting attacks"—false emergency calls designed to trigger a law enforcement response. Murphy's office stated that his Hartford home was the target of a bomb threat, described as part of a coordinated campaign against multiple members of Congress and public figures. Hartford Police and the U.S. Capitol Police concluded there was no actual threat. Hayes reported that Wolcott Police informed her of a threatening email mentioning a pipe bomb placed in her home mailbox. State police, U.S. Capitol Police, and the House Sergeant at Arms were notified; Wolcott and state police responded, finding no bomb or explosives. Courtney's office reported a bomb threat at his Vernon home while his wife and children were present. Himes learned of the threat against his home during a Thanksgiving family gathering. The U.S. Capitol Police, along with Greenwich and Stamford police departments, responded. Himes expressed his family's gratitude to law enforcement for their swift action and emphasized that political violence has no place in the country, hoping for a peaceful holiday season. Larson also confirmed that East Hartford Police responded to a bomb threat targeting his home on Thursday. The FBI declined to provide details about the incidents, only stating that they are investigating in collaboration with other agencies. s working with our state and local partners on these matters. No further details of the investigation will be released at this time.” These threats follow a violent election season. In July, a shooting at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, resulted in a graze wound to Trump and the death of a supporter. The Secret Service later prevented a subsequent assassination attempt at Trump's West Palm Beach, Florida, golf course. Those who received threats on Wednesday included New York Representative Elise Stefanik (Trump's UN ambassador pick), Matt Gaetz (Trump's initial Attorney General pick), Oregon Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer (Trump's Labor Department pick), and former New York Congressman Lee Zeldin (Trump's EPA pick). —Hussein reported from West Palm Beach, Fla.

Pro-Palestinian Protests Disrupt Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, Resulting in Arrests “`
NEW YORK — Despite heavy rain and a brief interruption by pro-Palestinian protesters, the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade celebrated its centennial on Thursday. Following a protest where demonstrators breached barricades and occupied the parade route, New York City police reported 21 arrests. Protesters displayed Palestinian flags and a banner reading “Don’t Celebrate Genocide,” chanting “Free, free Palestine!” as a large Ronald McDonald balloon approached them on Sixth Avenue. Similar demonstrations against the Israeli-Gaza conflict also disrupted last year's parade. Inclement weather added ponchos and umbrellas to the usual spectacle of giant balloons, floats, and celebrity performances. This year’s parade showcased new Spider-Man and Minnie Mouse balloons, floats with zoo and pasta themes, a tribute to New York City bagels and coffee, and performances by Jennifer Hudson, Idina Menzel, and Kylie Minogue, among others. This event marked a significant contrast to the parade's inaugural event a century prior, which featured floats depicting classic fairy tales like Mother Goose and Red Riding Hood. However, some traditions endured. Similar to 1924, marching bands, clowns, and the arrival of Santa Claus concluded the festivities. The parade included 17 giant balloons, 22 floats, 15 novelty and heritage inflatables, 11 marching bands from various states, 700 clowns, 10 performance groups, renowned singers and actors, and the WNBA champion New York Liberty. Other notable participants included Ariana Madix, T-Pain, Dan + Shay, The War and Treaty, The Temptations, Jimmy Fallon & The Roots, Lea Salonga, and Alison Brie. One new float highlighted Rao's, depicting a pasta-constructed knight and dragon. Another celebrated the Bronx Zoo's 125th anniversary with representations of various animals. “The opportunity to bring joy to millions on Thanksgiving morning motivates us,” stated Will Coss, the parade's executive producer. The 2.5-mile parade route extended from Manhattan’s Upper West Side to Macy’s Herald Square, which served as a performance backdrop. NBC’s Al Roker participated before joining Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb for the remainder of the broadcast. Cynthia Erivo presented Kotb with flowers, marking a potential end to her parade appearances. The rain did not halt the event—the parade has only been canceled three times, during World War II—though organizers monitored wind speeds to ensure balloon safety. Temperatures were around 50ºF (10ºC), with rain and winds around 10 mph (16 kph), well below the city’s limits for balloon flight. City regulations prohibit full-size balloon flight if sustained winds exceed 23 mph (37 kph) or gusts surpass 35 mph (56 kph).

BEIRUT — On Thursday, the Israeli Defense Forces reported that its air force targeted southern Lebanon following the detection of Hezbollah activity at a rocket storage site. This marked the first Israeli airstrike since a ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah came into effect the previous day. Initial reports did not detail casualties from the Israeli air raid. This followed an earlier Israeli military action against individuals attempting to re-enter certain areas in southern Lebanon, allegedly in violation of the ceasefire. Israel provided no specifics regarding this earlier incident; however, Lebanon’s National News Agency stated two people were injured. These consecutive incidents raised concerns about the sustainability of the U.S. and French-brokered agreement. This two-month truce stipulates Hezbollah's withdrawal north of the Litani River and the return of Israeli forces to their side of the border, with a buffer zone patrolled by Lebanese troops and UN peacekeepers. On Thursday, the second day of the ceasefire following over a year of intense conflict, Lebanon’s state news agency reported Israeli fire targeting civilians in Markaba near the border, though further details were unavailable. Israel confirmed artillery fire in three other border locations; there were no immediate casualty reports. An Associated Press journalist in northern Israel near the border recounted hearing the sound of Israeli drones and artillery strikes originating from Lebanon. The Israeli military stated that "several suspects were identified arriving with vehicles to a number of areas in southern Lebanon, breaching the conditions of the ceasefire." The statement continued that troops "opened fire toward them" and would "actively enforce violations of the ceasefire agreement." Israeli officials have indicated a phased withdrawal of forces contingent on the agreement's enforcement. Israel warned against returning to areas with deployed troops, reserving the right to strike Hezbollah for any truce violations. A Lebanese military official, speaking anonymously due to authorization restrictions, confirmed that Lebanese troops would deploy gradually in the south as Israeli forces withdraw. The ceasefire agreement, announced late Tuesday, concluded 14 months of conflict ignited a day after Hamas' October 7, 2023, attack from Gaza, prompting Hezbollah's rocket, drone, and missile attacks in solidarity. Israel responded with airstrikes, and the conflict escalated over nearly a year before culminating in all-out war in mid-September. The Gaza conflict remains ongoing. Lebanese health officials reported that over 3,760 people in Lebanon died from Israeli fire during the conflict, many civilians. The fighting resulted in more than 70 deaths in Israel, over half civilians, as well as dozens of Israeli soldiers in southern Lebanon. Approximately 1.2 million people were displaced in Lebanon, with thousands returning home on Wednesday despite warnings from both the Lebanese and Israeli militaries to avoid certain areas. Around 50,000 people were displaced in Israel, but few have returned, leaving border communities largely deserted. In Menara, an Israeli border community overlooking Lebanon, approximately three-quarters of homes sustained damage, some with collapsed roofs and burned interiors. Several residents were seen collecting belongings on Thursday before departing.

Australia’s Senate Approves World-First Social Media Ban for Under-16s
MELBOURNE, Australia — Legislation banning social media use for under-16s passed the Australian Senate on Thursday, poised to become a global first. The new law will impose fines of up to 50 million Australian dollars ($33 million) on platforms like TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, Reddit, X, and Instagram for failing to prevent underage users from creating accounts. The Senate approved the bill with a 34-19 vote, following the House of Representatives’ overwhelming 102-13 approval on Wednesday. The House will soon confirm Senate amendments; the government has already indicated its support. Platforms will have a year to implement the ban before facing penalties. Meta Platforms, parent company of Facebook and Instagram, criticized the legislation's rushed passage. Digital Industry Group Inc. (DIGI), representing Australian platforms, raised concerns about the law's practical implications, technical feasibility, and scope. “The social media ban legislation's rapid enactment leaves its practical application unclear, leaving both the public and platforms uncertain about their obligations,” DIGI managing director Sunita Bose stated. Amendments strengthen privacy safeguards, prohibiting platforms from demanding government-issued IDs or digital identification from users. The House is scheduled to approve the amendments on Friday. Critics worry the ban will compromise user privacy by forcing verification of age. While major parties support the ban, child welfare and mental health advocates express concerns about potential negative consequences. Senator David Shoebridge (Greens) cited mental health experts who believe the ban could isolate children who rely on social media for support. “This policy will disproportionately harm vulnerable young people, particularly in regional areas and the LGBTQI community,” Shoebridge argued. Opposition Senator Maria Kovacic defended the bill as necessary, not radical. “The legislation aims to ensure social media companies take reasonable steps to identify and remove underage users,” Kovacic stated, adding that companies should have addressed this responsibility long ago. Sonya Ryan, whose 15-year-old daughter was murdered by a pedophile posing as a teenager online, hailed the Senate vote as a significant step in protecting children. “It’s too late for my daughter, Carly, and others, but let us stand together and support this,” she stated. Wayne Holdsworth, whose son died by suicide following online sextortion, also celebrated the legislation’s passage. “I am immensely proud of this decision,” Holdsworth shared. Christopher Stone of Suicide Prevention Australia criticized the legislation for ignoring social media's positive role in young people's mental health. “The government is acting rashly. Young Australians need evidence-based policies, not hasty decisions,” Stone stated. Platforms argued the law is impractical and requested a delay until June 2025, citing a government-commissioned evaluation of age verification technologies. “We respect the Parliament's decision, but are concerned about the rushed process and lack of consideration for evidence, industry practices, and young people's perspectives,” Meta Platforms stated. Critics suggest the government is using the legislation to appeal to parents before the upcoming election, hoping to garner support by addressing concerns about social media addiction. Some believe the law could cause more harm than good. Criticisms include insufficient scrutiny, ineffectiveness, privacy risks, infringement on parental authority, potential isolation of children, and discouragement of harm reporting. Opponents also argue the ban could drive children to the dark web, reduce platform incentives to improve online safety.
