Researchers say a "digital detox" won't leave you with any withdrawal symptoms. AdvertisementAdvertisementGoing on a full "digital detox" may not be all that beneficial after all, according to a new study by researchers at Durham University. They say that the findings show social media may not be as addictive as some claim. The digital detox did cause the participants to feel fewer negative emotions, like intimidation and harassment, and many reported experiencing less FOMO. AdvertisementAdvertisementExperts haven't reached a consensus on how harmful and addictive social media really is.

☆ UK to fine tech companies that fail to remove self-harm material

LONDON, Nov 27 (Reuters) - Britain's government intends to make it illegal to encourage others to harm themselves online and will fine social media companies that fail to remove such material, as part of a revamp of legislation governing online behaviour. "Social media firms can no longer remain silent bystanders ... and they'll face fines for allowing this abusive and destructive behaviour to continue on their platforms under our laws," Digital Secretary Michelle Donelan said. In September, the coroner investigating her death ruled that social media platforms had fed content to her which "romanticised acts of self-harm by young people". Under the proposals, social media companies will have to remove and limit users' exposure to material that deliberately encourages people to harm themselves. Earlier versions sought to ban "legal but harmful" material online, drawing criticism from tech companies and free-speech campaigners who said the definition was too vague and could be used to arbitrarily criminalise otherwise legal behaviour.
☆ Meta and Microsoft can't self-regulate their metaverses, UK regulator warns

An avatar of Mark Zuckerberg, chief executive officer of Meta Platforms Inc., speaks during the virtual Meta Connect event in New York, US, on Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2022. The boss of the U.K. media regulator Ofcom warned "metaverse" forays from tech giants like Meta and Microsoft will be subjected to incoming rules forcing platforms to protect users from online harms. "I'm not sure I really see that 'self-regulatory phase,' to be honest, existing from a U.K. perspective," Dawes said. "If you've got young people in an environment where there's user-generated content according to the scope of the bill then that will already be caught by the Online Safety Bill." The Online Safety Bill is a set of legislation that seeks to curb harmful content from being widely shared on the internet.
