“Australia’s #OnlineSafetyChief has warned the #Albanese government of the imminent “ground war” by #tech giants harnessing “the most famous #influencers” before a #SocialMedia ban for under-16s later this year.
#AnthonyAlbanese announced in July the government’s decision to include YouTube in the #restrictions set to begin from December, reversing an earlier decision to exempt the video platform.
The decision followed advice from the #eSafety commissioner, #JulieInmanGrant, that its exclusion was inconsistent with the law’s intention given it had similar functionality to other social media sites, such as #TikTok and #Instagram.
In emails to the communication minister’s office, Inman Grant said she anticipated the laws would invoke a “#lobbying surge” brought on by concerns the ban would affect #AdvertisingRevenue, a trove of newly released documents tabled in the #Senate on Wednesday show.”

#Perplexity offered to buy #Google’s #Chrome #browser for $34.5B. The offer, likely a #marketingstunt, aims to challenge Google’s #websearch #dominance and signal to the judge in the #antitrust case against Google that there is an interested buyer. Its value to Google is in avoiding paying other companies for default placement, making it unlikely Google will sell. https://spyglass.org/i-offer-to-buy-jupiter/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#Radiogeek – La oferta por Chrome, y la tensión geopolítica marcan la agenda tecnológica – Nro 2737
En el podcast de Radiogeek del 12 de agosto de 2025, se abordaron diversos temas de actualidad tecnológica y política. Entre ellos, destacó la sorpresiva oferta de 34.5 mil millones de dólares que Perplexity le hizo a Google para adquirir el navegador Chrome, en un movimiento audaz que busca capitalizar las presiones antimonopolio sobre el gigante tecnológico. En otras noticias de Google, la compañía comenzó a implementar una nueva función en su buscador que permitirá a los usuarios seleccionar sus fuentes de noticias preferidas para personalizar la sección de «Top Stories». Por otro lado, la red social Threads continúa su ascenso y alcanzó la marca de 400 millones de usuarios activos mensuales, consolidando su posición como un serio competidor para X. En el ámbito político, se informó que el expresidente Trump decidió posponer por otros 90 días el aumento de aranceles a productos provenientes de China. Finalmente, se trató el preocupante hackeo al sistema de archivos de la corte federal de Estados Unidos, que se atribuye a hackers vinculados con el gobierno ruso, generando una seria alarma sobre la seguridad de la información judicial sensible.
