Justin Sullivan/Getty Images News Manitoba plans to restrict young people from using social media platforms and artificial intelligence chatbots, Premier Wab Kinew said, positioning the Canadian province at the forefront of growing efforts to limit children’s exposure to digital platforms. The move matters to investors because tighter youth-access rules could affect user growth, engagement metrics and advertising revenue for social media companies, while also increasing regulatory risk for AI developers. Expanding restrictions in Canada and abroad may signal tougher oversight for major technology firms. Kinew announced the policy Saturday during an event hosted by his New Democratic Party, arguing that online platforms are designed to capture children’s attention for profit. “Increasingly, social media and now AI chatbots are being used to hack our children’s attention spans,” Kinew said. “They have been built this way to maximize engagement and to make money for a group of tech oligarchs who do not share our values as Canadians or as Manitobans.” Officials said no final details have been released, including what ages would be covered or how the ban would be enforced. Manitoba has a population of about 1.5 million and borders North Dakota. The proposal comes as governments globally consider stronger limits on youth access to technology. Australia has passed legislation banning social media use for children under 16, while French President Emmanuel Macron has supported similar restrictions in the European Union. Despite his criticism of social media, Kinew has built a large online following, with more than 441,000 Instagram followers, more than any other Canadian provincial leader. Canada has recently taken a tougher stance toward large technology companies, though it also withdrew a planned digital sales tax last year after pressure tied to trade negotiations with the United States.

(2:00) Berkshire meets without Buffett after steep underperformance . (3:26) The earnings floodgate opens this week with 180 S&P 500 companies reporting, including 11 Dow components and — most importantly — five of the Magnificent 7. Apple ( AAPL ) reports Thursday, with investors focused on what a leadership transition means for its AI strategy. Microsoft ( MSFT ), Meta ( META ), Amazon ( AMZN ) and Alphabet ( GOOG ) ( GOOGL ) all report Wednesday. Here’s how the debate is shaping up: Apple : Bulls say the company may trail in AI today, but its hardware ecosystem and on-device processing could position it as the long-term edge-computing winner. Bears argue Apple is already priced like an AI leader, and with execution lagging and a CEO transition underway, the stock risks multiple compression. Microsoft : The question is AI payback. Bulls see signs that AI investment is translating into revenue, with cost discipline protecting margins. Skeptics counter that spending still runs ahead of returns and that Azure growth and Copilot adoption must justify the capex. Meta : Bulls say Meta shows the clearest AI monetization so far, with strong ad-driven margin expansion. The risk is macro — higher-for-longer rates could pressure both ad budgets and valuation multiples. Amazon : It’s a timing debate. Bulls point to AWS and custom silicon as long-term AI winners. Bears warn heavy capex and slower revenue conversion could weigh on near-term free cash flow. Alphabet : The upside lies in its fully integrated AI stack across search and cloud. The risk is that AI disrupts the core search business before new revenue streams scale. Also on the calendar : Verizon ( VZ ) reports Monday. Visa ( V ), Coca-Cola ( KO ) and Starbucks ( SBUX ) report Tuesday. AbbVie ( ABBV ), Qualcomm ( QCOM ) and Fo...

Leon Bennett/Getty Images Entertainment Moviegoers were apparently ready for a major event film this weekend, sending Lionsgate’s ( LION ) Michael to a dominant No. 1 debut with an estimated $97 million domestically, according to Comscore. The Michael Jackson biopic opened in 3,955 theaters and posted a hefty per-theater average of $24,526, instantly becoming one of the strongest launches of the year. The film also pulled in a reported $120.4 million internationally, bringing its estimated global opening haul to $217.4 million through Sunday. That gives exhibitors a much-needed jolt and reminds Hollywood that audiences still show up when the title feels like a cultural event. Meanwhile, Universal’s ( CMCSA ) The Super Mario Galaxy Movie continued its profitable plumbing work in second place with $21.2 million in its fourth weekend, lifting domestic grosses to $386.5 million. Family films remain one of the few genres that can print money with cheerful consistency. Amazon MGM’s ( AMZN ) Project Hail Mary held third with $13.2 million in weekend six, pushing its domestic total past $305 million. Ryan Gosling in space continues to be a commercially sound concept. Warner Bros.’ ( WBD ) Lee Cronin’s The Mummy landed fourth with $5.63 million in its second frame, while A24’s The Drama rounded out the top five with $2.65 million. Smaller newcomers also entered the chart, including IFC’s dark comedy Over Your Dead Body and documentary American Youngboy , which closed out the top ten. Overall, the top 10 films generated roughly $146.96 million, with Michael alone accounting for nearly two-thirds of that total. In other words, it wasn’t just a No. 1 movie. It was the weekend. Domestic Box Office Top 10 (April 24–26, 2026) Rank Title Weekend Gross Total Domestic 1 Michael $97.0M $97.0M 2 The Super Mario Galaxy Movie $21.2M $386.5M 3 Project Hail Mary $13.2M $305.4M 4 Lee Cronin’s The Mummy $5.63M $23.45M 5 The Drama $2.65M $44.8M 6 Hoppers $1.90M $164.2M 7 You, Me & Tuscany $1....

Determining the attacker’s motivation may take time. But toxic rhetoric, polarisation and the ubiquity of firearms are a dangerous mix Forty-five years ago, John Hinckley Jr attempted to assassinate Ronald Reagan as he left the Hilton hotel in Washington, injuring the US president and three others. Obsessed with the actor Jodie Foster, and seeking to gain her attention, the shooter had initially pursued Reagan’s Democratic predecessor, Jimmy Carter. On Saturday night, the hotel again rang to shots as it hosted the annual White House correspondents’ dinner . Tuxedo-clad politicians and journalists dived under tables as bangs were heard from the lobby, and Donald Trump was rushed from the stage. A secret service agent was shot, though saved by his ballistics vest. The echoes of the 1981 attack are a potent reminder that violence has long been a tragic strand of the American political tradition. Gun violence is grimly familiar. This does not diminish the seriousness of an incident that was widely and rightly condemned . Rather, it highlights its importance. Continue reading...

"A Societal Loss Of Humanity": Older Men Are Falling In Love With A Deluge Of AI Generated Female Influencers Older men are being scammed and fooled left and right by a deluge of AI generated female influencers, according the NY Post . What appears to be a growing wave of glamorous influencers online isn’t always what it seems. In some cases, these personalities are entirely artificial - carefully engineered digital figures designed to look, act, and interact like real people . One widely followed pro-MAGA persona, for example, was ultimately exposed as “nothing more than an algorithm run by a guy in India,” revealing just how convincingly these accounts can mimic authenticity. Despite that, audiences continue to engage—often deeply. Many followers, particularly older men, are “falling for them left, right and center.” Experts suggest this isn’t just about deception, but about a deeper emotional gap. Some describe the phenomenon as a “pandemic of loneliness,” even pointing to a broader “societal loss of humanity” as people increasingly form attachments to digital illusions instead of real relationships. What’s striking is that these accounts don’t always hide the truth. Some openly identify as AI and still attract admiration. Take Ana Zelu, a fictional influencer who clearly labels herself an “ai-influencer,” yet maintains a highly curated feed filled with aspirational imagery—luxury travel, fashionable outfits, and picturesque city scenes. Her posts draw enthusiastic responses, with followers commenting things like “Number one is my favourite…May God bless you,” and “You are genuinely in a class of your own.” The awareness that she isn’t real doesn’t seem to diminish the appeal. The Post writes that a similar pattern appears with Milla Sofia, another digital creation presented as a pop singer. Her content includes stylized videos and performances, and although her profile identifies her as virtual, fans respond as if she were a real celebrity. Comments such as “my ...

Conflicting accounts will be tested in parliament. The outcome may not be decisive, but risks reinforcing concerns about PM’s leadership It is unlikely that events this week at the foreign affairs select committee will deliver a knockout blow to Sir Keir Starmer over his appointment of Peter Mandelson as Britain’s US ambassador. Westminster will instead see a stress test, forcing competing versions of events into the open – a risk for Downing Street if the story crystallises unfavourably. The first witness will be Sir Philip Barton, the former top civil servant at the Foreign Office, who is said to have had reservations about giving Lord Mandelson the job. He was in post when the prime minister announced the peer’s appointment. His evidence could be crucial. Sir Keir told MPs last week that “ no pressure existed whatsoever ”. The emphatic “whatsoever” has put him in difficulty. He is already qualifying it, arguing that pushing for speed is not pressure. If Sir Philip names those who applied pressure – and this affected the Foreign Office’s decision – Sir Keir would be in hot water. He might avoid a Commons privileges inquiry , but the public would see him as slippery. The prime minister’s former chief of staff Morgan McSweeney reportedly told Sir Philip to “just fucking approve it” . Mr McSweeney’s evidence will hinge on whether he issues a categorical denial or a partial concession. Smart money is on the former. Continue reading...
