The business model of these apps is
simple, the duration of time the user
spends on the app and the extent to
which they engage with content
is directly correlated with ad revenue, Brian Schatz, Democratic Senator for Hawaii, via NPR.
Hawaii's Sen. Brian Schatz argues that the result of social
media platforms driving users to spend long amounts
of time on their platforms could be "catastrophic.".
Social media [companies] have
stumbled onto a stubborn, devastating
fact: The way to get kids to linger
on the platforms and to maximize
platforms is to upset them, Brian Schatz, Democratic Senator for Hawaii, via NPR.
According to a Pew Research study,
most teens say they go on social media platforms
like YouTube and TikTok at least once every day.

The growing evidence is clear:
social media is making kids more
depressed and wreaking havoc
on their mental health, while kids
are suffering, social media companies
are profiting. This needs to stop, Brian Schatz, Democratic Senator for Hawaii, via NPR.

The first of the three Russian hypersonic missile scientists to be arrested on suspicion of treason will go on trial next week in a case which apparently involves accusations of betraying secrets to foreign adversaries. The criminal case against Anatoly Maslov, 76, will open in Saint Petersburg’s city court on June 1. The St. Petersburg City Court also ruled on May 24 that Maslov's detention would be extended until at least November 10. Soon after his arrest, authorities had flown him to Moscow and put him in pre-trial detention in Lefortovo prison…a former KGB interrogation site where Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich is also being held. The details of the case are classified, but some local media reports cited sources close to scientific circles as saying that the three scholars are suspected of handing information related to their research to China.
