AGP Executive Report
Last update: 34 minutes agoUAE Child Safety Push: The UAE has set a minimum age of 15 for social media, banning under-15s from creating or using accounts and restricting features like posting, commenting, joining public groups and stranger interactions; platforms get 12 months to comply or face warnings, sanctions and possible blocking. UK Follows Australia: The UK is moving to restrict under-16s from major platforms, with age checks and default limits for older teens, but critics warn enforcement and “workarounds” (like VPN use) could blunt impact. Platform Response Watch: Snapchat has already tightened teen access by defaulting under-16 accounts to “friends-only,” removing stranger discovery features—an early sign of how apps may adapt as bans spread. Media & Marketing Talent: EssenceMediacom spotlights young media talent Dwight Crisostomo, while VVS Films promotes Claire Peace-McConnell to VP Theatrical Distribution across Canada, Australia and NZ. Local Culture/Comms: Virgin Australia restores double-daily Melbourne–Doha flights, boosting Europe-bound travel capacity ahead of the northern summer.
