• Social media only from 16: Australia wants to protect youth – The Australian government is planning a law that will allow social media only from the age of 16. Platforms should be required to verify age. How useful is such an age limit? What technical challenges arise during implementation? And could this model be interesting for other countries as well?

• European payments newcomer: Vero wants to compete with PayPal – A new European payment service is launching with the Vero app. What’s special: European banks and payment service providers are behind this service. Can Vero Become a Real Alternative to PayPal? What does the opening up mean for European financial markets?

• Smart Conversations: Model Context Protocol Connects AI Chatbots – Anthropic has introduced a new protocol that will allow AI assistants to better communicate with each other. The purpose of an open standard is to enable interaction across systems. What are the benefits of networking different AI systems? How realistic is widespread acceptance of the protocol?
