A big deal

[Variety @Variety]

Meta will enforce a two-hour daily limit on Instagram and Facebook for children as part of a record $17.1B settlement with 29 states over social media addiction claims:

• The “Productive Pauses” for children include mandatory pauses after 15 minutes of continuous use and again at 60 and 90 minutes to interrupt endless scrolling

• “Nighttime blocks” restricting children’s access from 12:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m.

• Limited school-time access for children, eliminating push notifications on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. during the school year

• Robust age assurance measures to more effectively verify the age of young users

• Safer, age-appropriate content controls, including stronger safeguards against bullying, content promoting eating disorders, and content related to suicide and self-harm

• Stronger, more user-friendly parental controls

• Limits on social comparison features, including beauty filters and visible “like” counts, that have been linked to poor mental health outcomes in kids and teens

• Both the implementation and effectiveness of the features will be regularly assessed by an independent auditor and the settling states

@Pagmenzies But US might retaliate against Alberta oil?

[MediaPolicy.ca @howardalaw]

@Pagmenzies “The U.S. shale revolution made Appalachian natural gas much cheaper and geographically closer to Toronto and Montreal. As a result, Central Canada doubled its U.S. gas imports and let its long-term shipping contracts on the Mainline expire.”

The public got there first. Carney got there later. https://t.co/cIoo4CmVrv via @howardalaw

So what good did the capitulation to the U.S. do in terms of the Online Streaming Act? Any way, here’s the @The_CMPA response to last night’s trade breakdown:

On this day in 2016, The Tragically Hip gave their final concert. Performed in their hometown of Kingston, it aired live nationwide on CBC TV and radio, and streamed on the Internet.
The concert was watched by at least 12 million Canadians.

Congratulations Mr. President. The deal will include comprehensive market access for all American goods, economic security commitments, digital trade alignment, and many important provisions that will continue to protect our market and American workers, along with our Canadian partners.
