Europe’s social media age shift

Europe’s social media age shift

It is just the beginning of 2026, and things are happening even faster than last year. Not only in technology, but also in regulations, laws, and in how we deal with all the information around us.

As a person born in the 90s, social media was once an unknown land for me, a place that felt genuine in the beginning. It still had dangers, but it seemed less risky, or maybe our parents’ rules were stricter.

I don’t want to go down the psychological path here, but I want to look at where we are headed with so much risk, especially on social media platforms.

Apple study looks into how people expect to interact with AI agents – 9to5Mac

A team of Apple researchers set out to understand what real users expect from AI agents, and how they’d rather interact with them. Here’s what they found.

In the study, titled Mapping the Design Space of User Experience for Computer Use Agents, a team of four Apple researchers says that while the market has been investing heavily in the development and evaluation of AI agents, some aspects of the user experience have been overlooked: how users might want to interact with them, and what these interfaces should look like.

Major ’vibe-coding’ platform Orchids is easily hacked, researcher finds

The BBC has been shown a significant – and unfixed – cyber-security risk in a popular AI coding platform.

Orchids is a so-called ”vibe-coding” tool, meaning people without technical skills can use it to build apps and games by typing a text prompt into a chatbot.

Such platforms have exploded in popularity in recent months, and are often heralded as an early example of how various professional services could be done quickly and cheaply by AI.

Apple released macOS Tahoe last September, but despite two point updates since then, it is still struggling to resolve an embarrassing interface issue in Finder that appears to have been introduced with its Liquid Glass redesign. If you updated your Mac to macOS Tahoe and you prefer to work in Finder’s column view, there’s a good chance you’ve been frustrated by the glitch, which developer Jeff Johnson has been admirably tracking over on his blog.

EU tells Meta to let rivals run AI chatbots on WhatsApp

The EU has told Meta it has breached its rules by blocking other rival AI firms’ chatbots from WhatsApp, and must make ”urgent” changes.

The tech giant changed the popular messaging app on 15 January – and since then only its AI assistant Meta AI can access it.

But the European Commission said WhatsApp was an ”important entry point” for AI chatbots like ChatGPT to reach people, and claimed Meta was abusing its dominant position by blocking them.

A Meta spokesperson told the BBC the EU had ”no reason” to intervene, and claimed it had ”incorrectly” assumed WhatsApp Business was a key way that people use chatbots.
