CNET Group has released TechPulse, a free iOS and Android app that combines articles and videos from ZDNET, CNET, PCMag, Mashable, Lifehacker, and ExtremeTech into a single feed. Users can filter the feed to show only certain publications, and all content is accessible without a subscription.
CNET has launched a new app called TechPulse to replace its existing CNET app, combining news, video and reviews from CNET alongside sister Ziff Davis brands PCMag, Mashable, ZDNET and Lifehacker. The app features a customizable, human-curated dashboard rather than an algorithm-driven feed, letting users filter content by brand or by format such as video versus text. It is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
Governments are increasingly stepping in to curb youth social media use after years of relying on parents, schools and platform self-regulation, which proved insufficient. Australia became the first country to enact a nationwide ban on social media accounts for children under 16, covering ten platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube, while exempting messaging and gaming services like WhatsApp, Discord and Roblox. The law requires platforms to take reasonable steps to verify age and prevent account creation, though it does not restrict viewing public content without logging in.
