[upbeat music] Keep my feet on the ground, keep my head in the clouds, electrified by the sound.
Max Shorts will apparently consist of clipped segments of longer form entertainment available on the streamer, as well as trailers and behind-the-scenes content according to a press release, which also reads, quote, "The clips for this feature are powered by an AI tool built in-house, which helps human editors select and verticalize content by using machine learning algorithms that utilize scene-level metadata to comb through thousands of hours of titles and suggest the most compelling high-impact scenes for discovery," end quote.
This comes on the heels of similar products announced at other streamers like Netflix, ESPN, Paramount Plus, and Disney Plus, each of whom see platforms like Instagram and TikTok as direct competitors.
A media consultant told Business Insider in February that, quote, "Premium streaming is plowing into this space because of a need to own more lean back moments in a viewer's day." End quote.
This, in my opinion, represents a fundamental misunderstanding of why audiences turn to short form vertical video feeds, but maybe I'm wrong, and all of you do want to watch 100 one-minute clips of CBS's CSI: Miami on Paramount Plus.
[screaming] [upbeat music] France will be the first European country to ban social media for teenagers.
Their parliament recently approved a law which will limit access to people under the age of 15.
Starting January 2027, all social media users in the country will have to verify their age when the law goes into effect, a process which we now know from both Australia and the United Kingdom works perfectly and without any hiccups or easy circumvention.
As currently written, the draft law would apply to those under the age of 16, who would only be able to log on under parental supervision.
Vietnam would also require platforms to identify younger users and moderate the content served accordingly.
Sacrebleu.
A French phrase originating from the expression sacred God, used to express surprise or disbelief.
Let's say it all together.
Sacrebleu.
[static] [upbeat music] Your taxes are paying for internet no one is using in Alaska, if you're American, at least.
ProPublica reports that thousands of abandoned homes on the nearly empty Alaskan Adak Island have an active, obsolete internet connection, which the United States government subsidizes at the cost of $300,000 a year.
Subsidies continue even after service providers are sent to prison for tax evasion or end up in court for fraud.
What few residents remain on the island, which is 1,200 miles off the coast of Anchorage, use Starlink for internet access, as it is both cheaper and more reliable.
