Meta, YouTube and TikTok face fines if they don't tighten protections for young users by year's end.
Indonesia's government is preparing fines for technology platforms it judges high-risk to young users, according to the Jakarta Post. Meta's apps, YouTube and TikTok are among the services named, and each has been given until the end of 2026 to complete new digital child safety measures or face penalties.
The push adds Jakarta to a growing list of governments pressing global platforms to tighten protections for minors, from stricter age checks to safer default settings. With the deadline just months away, the coming weeks will show whether these companies move fast enough to avoid becoming the first fined under the new rules.



Alexandre Arnault, Moët Hennessy's deputy CEO, joins Nike's board as it looks to reboot innovation.
Nike has appointed Alexandre Arnault, deputy CEO of Moët Hennessy, to its board of directors, Retail Dive reports. Executive Chairman Mark Parker said Arnault has "a reputation for helping iconic global brands evolve, innovate and grow" — a signal of where the sportswear giant hopes to find fresh direction.
The pick brings a senior LVMH luxury executive onto the board of a sportswear giant, at a moment when Nike is looking to sharpen its innovation pipeline beyond its classic footwear lines. It's a notable crossover between two very different corners of the consumer business — and a sign of where Nike hopes fresh thinking will come from next.



The label's Spring 2027 collection channels James Baldwin across three 1970s-set acts.
Advisry has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2027 collection, titled "AMERICA, STILL." Inspired by the writer James Baldwin, it unfolds as a three-act story set in a 1970s-inflected world, tracing the tension between collapse and resilience in American life.
It's a reminder that a runway show can carry real intent beyond the clothes themselves — using Baldwin's writing and a specific decade's aesthetic to say something about the country's current mood. Amid a season crowded with trend pieces, Advisry's collection stood out for actually having something to say, act by act.


AWS admits some customer data destroyed in Iran can never be recovered — its centers weren't built for war.
Amazon Web Services has confirmed that customer data stored in its Iran-based data centers was permanently lost following military strikes, WIRED reports. The company admitted it designed the facilities without accounting for the possibility of war — and that what's been destroyed simply can't be recovered.
It's a rare, blunt admission from one of the world's biggest cloud providers, and a reminder that the infrastructure underpinning everyday apps and businesses sits in real, physical places that can be bombed. For anyone who assumed the cloud was inherently resilient, Amazon's own admission says otherwise.
