    Will the UK’s next prime minister finally have a ‘national conversation’ on defence?

    Will the UK’s next prime minister finally have a ‘national conversation’ on defence? Expert comment thilton.drupal 3 July 2026 The Defence Investment Plan recommits the UK to a national conversation on defence and security. The failure to deliver one so far undermines public trust and leaves the UK vulnerable to hybrid threats. Keir Starmer has released the long-awaited Defence Investment Plan (DIP), which sets out the UK’s military spending plans, ahead of the NATO summit next week. The DIP also contains a commitment to a ‘national conversation campaign on defence and security’. However, this plan for a ‘national conversation’ was already adopted by Starmer’s government in the Strategic Defence Review (SDR) of 2025. The conversation was to focus on the rationale for investing more in defence, the role of the public in support of national security and resilience, and countering misinformation. The review recommended it take the form of a ‘two-year series of public outreach events across the UK, explaining current threats and future trends’. This has not yet happened. Meanwhile, intelligence services have warned that Russian sabotage, hostile reconnaissance, cyber-attacks and disinformation campaigns are increasingly directed at the UK, a country viewed as ‘enemy number one’ and a ‘soft target’. The first step in countering these ‘hybrid’ attacks targeting the UK’s political stability is for a new prime minister to inform the public and build a societal response. Building trust and consent The commitment from the Starmer government in 2025 reflects UK and NATO doctrine, which emphasize the ‘central proactive element’ of strategic communications in countering hybrid threats. Increased public awareness can spur civil society action to recognise hybrid threats and address vulnerabilities, acting as a deterrence by denying or reducing the impact of such threats. However, the UK government faces a strategic challenge: low public trust. According to 2024 polling, the UK government is one of the least trusted by the public among OECD countries. A ‘national conversation’ could be an important way to improve the public’s trust in the government. Allowing the public to feel they are part of a dialogue with authorities and including them in decision-making can build long-term public trust. Communications can foster cohesion through values-led narratives which promote civic unity. Withholding information on threats can negatively impact public confidence. Sharing more about security also requires government to trust the public. The UK government has been accused of a ‘Stalinist’ culture of excessive official secrecy, with information either not shared due to fear of public and media panic, or a desire to control the narrative of the threat. Withholding information on threats can however negatively impact public confidence, especially if the British public perceives allied governments or independent media as offering greater candour than official UK sources. In turn, a national conversation that builds trust and explains the level of threat facing the UK will help the government to secure public approval for increased defence spending as outlined in the DIP. This is vital considering that higher defence spending generally requires a combination of cuts elsewhere, tax rises, or borrowing – all options that could prove unpopular with the public if the government doesn’t better explain and justify its decisions. What role should the public play? A key element of the conversation is to engage the public in supporting national security and resilience. To send a clear demand signal to society through outreach activities, the government must first organize and articulate policy on the public’s role. According to Dr Fiona Hill, a co-author of the SDR, civil aid organizations currently feel ‘there is no green light from above’ and ‘a sense of inaction’ in planning to support emergency responses. While the government is researching policy options on aspects of societal resilience, there appears to be limited political direction or ownership with no single minister responsible. Related work Britain’s next prime minister faces deep foreign policy challenges – whether Burnham or another The SDR also recommended the conversation should support ‘efforts to counter threats to information integrity as a critical component of national cohesion’. This reflects an online information ecosystem which is becoming easier to manipulate, with impacts offline. Violent disorder has occurred every summer since 2024, fuelled in part by misinformation on platforms including Elon Musk’s X and Meta’s Facebook. Possible calls to action might include asking the broader public to engage in media literacy initiatives, such as those available in libraries and online, for example via civic organizations in Finland and Sweden. Given the potential of misinformation to cause polarization and destabilization, the UK government has taken some limited steps to improve resilience, but actions on media literacy are focussed on parents and limited to a government campaign rather than a broader civic coalition. Strategic questions Attempts to destabilize UK society currently exist in a ‘space between peace and war’, with attacks seeking to exploit vulnerabilities across the full spectrum of societal functions. Europe’s Centre of Excellence in Countering Hybrid Threats therefore recommends a ‘whole-of-government’ approach, using societal resilience as an organizing framework to cohere other disparate policy areas. In Nordic states, this has extended to social, cultural, and constitutional policy, while the German zeitenwende (turning point) shift since 2022 has linked investment in the military with infrastructure resilience and economic development.

    India asks Meta to put off WhatsApp username rollout

    NEW DELHI: India has asked Meta to hold off launching its username feature on WhatsApp, citing concerns over fraud and impersonation. The move comes as authorities in India grapple with a spike in cybercrime, with scammers exploiting low digital safety awareness among millions of internet users. WhatsApp, owned by US tech giant Meta, said on Monday that users worldwide would be able to connect via unique usernames instead of sharing their phone numbers, an upcoming feature it said was designed to enhance privacy. But India voiced concern on Wednesday that the change could make it easier for fraudsters to target victims. In a letter to Meta, the ministry of information technology said the feature could lead to an increase in online fraud, phishing, digital arrest scams and impersonation attacks, the Indian Express newspaper reported. “There is a possibility that bad actors may claim usernames... and message other users while pretending to be someone they are not,” the English-language daily quoted a government official as saying. “For those who may not be technologically aware to make out the difference, it could be a huge challenge.” The ministry has asked Meta not to roll out the feature until consultation on the matter is over, the paper added. Last month, Meta appointed Indian fintech titan Kunal Shah as the new head of WhatsApp. Meta said the feature was not yet live in India and that it had already reserved usernames for public figures and verified accounts. “To protect against impersonation, we’ve held the highest-profile names... so they can only ever be claimed by their legitimate owners,” it said in a statement. “Users still require a phone number to use WhatsApp and we’ve built multiple layers of defence against scams into usernames.” Published in Dawn, July 3rd, 2026

    China imposes ‘national security’ rules on overseas investments

    BEIJING: China is intensifying its scrutiny of investments overseas with broad “national security” regulations taking effect from Wednesday, at a time of rising tech competition with Washington. The new rules, originally announced on June 1, provide authorities with a sweeping legal framework to influence flows of capital and personnel across China’s borders. Beijing sees fields such as artificial intelligence, computer chips and green technology as economically and strategically vital and has vowed to promote their domestic development. The new measures are intended to “enhance the quality and level of outward investment”, according to the provisions laid out by the State Council, China’s cabinet. However, some investors worry they will restrict the ability of China’s bustling and sprawling tech ecosystem to access global markets. Outbound investment should adhere to the “overall national security concept”, the regulations state, while aiming to “balance domestic and international considerations”. The new framework also authorises the government to conduct reviews of investments or transfers that could impact national security. Beijing often views cross-border transactions with suspicion, with its top economic planning body striking down in April an attempt by Facebook owner Meta to acquire AI startup Manus, which was created by a company founded in China but now based in Singapore. Under the new rules, existing curbs on cross-border transfers will extend beyond goods and data to include the export of services through sending technical experts abroad or carrying out training overseas.

    WhatsApp messenger to offer usernames

    PARIS: The hundreds of millions who use Meta-owned messenger WhatsApp to chat with family, friends or businesses will no longer need to share phone numbers under a coming update, the company said on Monday. Instead, people will be able to pick unique usernames to share with others, in a move “designed to protect the privacy of your phone number,” WhatsApp said in a statement. Restricting access to phone numbers would mean they are not shared automatically in cases such as being added to a large group chat or messaging person or business for the first time, the company added. What’s more “there’s no directory to browse and no suggestions, so people need to know your exact username to contact you,” Meta said. As with other social media services, the sheer number of people — Meta claims over three billion — using WhatsApp means many may not get their first choice of handle. The company said it would gradually roll out username reservations worldwide “over the coming months”, notifying users in each country when they open there. Meanwhile “creators, small businesses and organisations” will be allowed to claim WhatsApp usernames that they already use on fellow Meta products Facebook or Instagram.

    Bir ülke daha çocuklara sosyal medya yasağı için harekete geçti

    Avustralya hükümeti, 16 yaş altı çocuklara yönelik sosyal medya yasağının etkinliğini artırmak amacıyla internet denetleme kurulunun yetkilerini genişleten yeni yasa tasarısını parlamentoya sundu. Avustralya, 16 yaş altı çocuklara yönelik uygulanan sosyal medya yasağının yargısal denetimini güçlendirmek ve internet denetleme kurulunun teknoloji devlerine karşı açacağı davaları desteklemek amacıyla hazırlanan yeni yasa tasarısını bugün parlamentoya sundu. Dünyada bir ilk niteliği taşıyan ve geçtiğimiz aralık ayında yürürlüğe giren kısıtlamaların üzerinden altı ay geçmesine rağmen elde edilen veriler, çocukların halen bu platformlara erişim sağlayabildiğini ortaya koyuyor. Başbakan Anthony Albanese, Canberra'da basın mensuplarına yaptığı açıklamada, sosyal medyada halen çok fazla çocuk bulunduğunu ve teknoloji şirketlerinin yasağa uymak için yeterli çabayı göstermediğini ifade etti. Albanese, "Bugün sosyal medya şirketlerine süre tanımayı bırakıyoruz; attığımız adımları kararlılıkla sürdürüyor ve yapmaya hazır olduğumuz değişiklikleri iki katına çıkarıyoruz" dedi. Öğleden sonra sunulacak yasa tasarısının, sosyal medya şirketlerinin 16 yaşından küçük çocukların platformlarda yer almasını engellemek için ellerindeki tüm imkanları kullanmalarını zorunlu kılacağını ekledi. Ülkenin internet denetleme kurulu eSafety, yasal yükümlülüklere uymadıkları şüphesiyle beş büyük platform hakkında soruşturma yürütüyor. Mercek altındaki bu platformlar arasında Meta bünyesindeki Facebook ve Instagram'ın yanı sıra Snapchat, TikTok ve Google'ın sahibi olduğu YouTube yer alıyor. Muhalefetteki koalisyon blokuna yasa tasarısına destek verme çağrısında bulunan Başbakan Albanese, ilk yasal düzenlemenin parlamentodan partiler üstü bir mutabakatla geçtiğini hatırlattı. Cumartesi günü kamuoyuna duyurulan yasal değişiklikler kapsamında, kurallara uymayan şirketlere verilecek azami ceza miktarı 49,5 milyon Avustralya dolarından 99 milyon Avustralya dolarına (yaklaşık 68,2 milyon ABD doları) yükseltiliyor. İletişim Bakanı Anika Wells, yeni düzenlemenin eSafety Komisyonuna şirket yönetim kurulu toplantı tutanakları ve kurum içi e-postalar gibi hassas belgelere erişim yetkisi vereceğini açıkladı. Wells, bu yetki sayesinde kurallara uymayan platformlara karşı açılacak davaların yasal dayanaklarının mümkün olan en güçlü şekilde kurulacağını belirtti. Tasarının parlamentodaki sunumu sırasında teknoloji firmalarını yasayı kasten çiğnemek ve yasağın etrafından dolanmak için hileli yollara başvurmakla suçlayan İletişim Bakanı Wells, şu ifadeleri kullandı: "Bugün Avustralya bu şirketlere net bir mesaj gönderiyor: Ne yaptığınızı görüyoruz ve burada oyun oynamıyoruz. Eğer Avustralya'da faaliyet göstermek istiyorsanız Avustralya yasalarına uymak zorundasınız. Uymadığınız takdirde sonuçlarına katlanırsınız." Sydney sakinlerinden Bill Wright, hükümetin sosyal medya şirketlerini sorumlu tutma yönündeki adımlarını memnuniyetle karşıladığını ifade etti. Wright, "Bu sorunun çözümünde dünyaya öncülük ediyor olabiliriz ancak yapacak daha çok işimiz olduğu açık. Kurallara uymayan şirketlere kesilmesi planlanan cezalar bile tek başına yeterli olmayabilir" şeklinde görüş belirtti. Yeni yasa tasarısının yürürlüğe girebilmesi için parlamentonun onayından geçmesi gerekiyor. DÜNYA GENELİNDE DİJİTAL ÖNLEMLER YAYGINLAŞIYOR Avustralya'nın öncülük ettiği kısıtlamalara paralel olarak Türkiye dahil dünya genelinde de çocukların korunmasına yönelik sosyal medya düzenlemeleri yaygınlık kazanıyor. Norveç, İspanya, İtalya ve İngiltere 16 yaş altına yönelik kısıtlama ve yasaklar üzerinde çalışırken, Yunanistan, Danimarka, Fransa ve Portekiz ise 13 ila 15 yaş sınırları ve ebeveyn onayına dayalı doğrulama mekanizmaları hazırlıyor. Avrupa Parlamentosu da üye ülkelere sosyal medyada 16 yaş sınırı getirilmesi yönünde tavsiyede bulunuyor.

    Monkeys, a rhino horn and dead pangolins: Illegal wildlife trafficking rampant across social media platforms

    The ghostly white creature curled up on a weighing scale is almost unrecognisable in the Facebook post offering it for sale. Only closer inspection reveals it to be a dead pangolin. The animal, one of the world’s most endangered and trafficked mammals, has been stripped of its scales and is being advertised by a Thai account selling “seasonal wild delicacies”. The post is one of dozens reviewed by AFP that illustrate what conservationists call rampant illegal wildlife trafficking across social media platforms, particularly those belonging to Facebook parent company Meta. A report by several NGOs released on Monday accuses Meta of hosting the world’s “largest single known illegal wildlife trade market” and effectively encouraging the trade by sharing advertising revenues with users and allowing them subscription models. The report follows recent research by the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organised Crime (GI-TOC), which warned Facebook is now “the central public infrastructure through which online wildlife trafficking is being concentrated, discovered and scaled”. Meta declined to respond to questions from AFP, and pointed to policies that restrict the sale of endangered species on its platforms. But conservationists say those policies have done little to prevent Meta’s platforms being used for the illegal wildlife trade. The GI-TOC research found over 20,000 adverts for more than 260,000 wildlife products on social media platforms between April 2024 and March 2026. Nearly three-quarters were on Facebook, and many remained up even after being reported, said Russell Gray, a data scientist and ecologist who co-authored GI-TOC’s April report. “Even the unredacted accounts and groups we reported on publicly in the report are still live and active,” he told AFP. ‘Mindboggling’ Conservationists and wildlife experts said that was common. “I have not once received a response or seen any action taken,” said Tom Taylor, chief operating officer of Wildlife Friends Foundation Thailand. “Accounts that are openly breaking the law should be closed, and investigations into the criminal activities behind them should be launched.” Conservationists argue Meta is not only failing to remove content that violates its policies, but may effectively be encouraging it by allowing popular accounts to monetise content through advertising revenue and subscription models. “This content monetisation that Facebook and Instagram push is actually incentivising people to commit illegal acts,” said Daniel Stiles, an independent wildlife trafficking investigator. “The more interaction and engagement they get on their account, the more money they can make,” added Stiles, who co-authored the report released Monday by NGOs including Freeland, Education for Nature Vietnam and International Wildlife Trust. Meta does not make public which accounts are in its content monetisation programmes. But those enrolled in its subscription programme are publicly identifiable, and include an account apparently in Laos purporting to show poaching of wildlife including pangolins. “How Meta can allow that is mindboggling,” said Stiles. ‘Lip service’ Animals and wildlife products are offered across Meta platforms, including Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, research shows. But other platforms, including TikTok and Snapchat — popular because of its disappearing post settings — are also increasingly used by traffickers. AFP reviewed examples offering everything from chimpanzees intended as pets to rhino horn for traditional medicine and pangolins for consumption. Some of the content is oblique — vendors often post images of animals or parts for sale without any price or explanation. Interested commenters are told to message them directly. But much of the content is clear, including a public Facebook account offering dead pangolins, monitor lizards and other protected wildlife for consumption in Thailand. The algorithmic nature of social media platforms means that users who engage with wildlife trafficking accounts are offered up more. After reviewing just a handful of public accounts advertising illegal wildlife trade, an AFP journalist’s Facebook feed began routinely displaying posts selling wildlife and endangered animal parts. Meta was among 11 tech firms that announced this month they would work to eliminate wildlife trafficking on their sites. But the company has been a member of the Coalition to End Wildlife Trafficking Online since 2018, and the problem has continued to grow, said Steve Galster, founder of Freeland. He warned the latest announcement risked being “more lip service”. “Until Meta is compelled to rid its platforms of illegal wildlife trade, and prove that it is not profiting from it, the online wildlife trade will only get worse.”

    Google limits Meta's use of its Gemini AI models: report

    Google has put limits on Meta’s use of its Gemini AI models after the social media company sought more computing capacity than the rival tech group could provide, the Financial Times reported on Sunday. Google, owned by Alphabet, told Meta around March it could not meet the full Gemini capacity the company had sought to purchase, the newspaper said, adding that the shortfall disrupted and delayed some of Meta’s internal AI projects. Several other Google clients have also been affected, though to a lesser extent, according to the report. Meta has been particularly impacted due to its exceptionally high demand for Google’s models, the FT said. Reuters could not immediately verify the report, which cited people familiar with the matter. Google and Meta did not immediately respond to requests for comment outside business hours. Due to the restrictions, Meta has encouraged staff to be more efficient with AI tokens, the units that measure AI usage, the FT report said. Even as companies continue to spend billions on chips and data centres, they are still struggling to secure enough computing power to support the growing demand for AI services. Revenue at Google Cloud grew to $20 billion in the first quarter ended March, but CEO Sundar Pichai said computing power constraints prevented even higher growth and contributed to the cloud unit’s backlog nearly doubling quarter on quarter.

    Indian startup head Kunal Shah appointed as new WhatsApp boss

    Meta has tapped Indian fintech founder Kunal Shah as the new head of WhatsApp, as the US tech giant seeks ways to monetise the messaging app’s massive user base. The announcement, made Monday night, was accompanied by news that Meta would also lead a $900 million funding round in Shah’s consumer finance firm CRED. “Kunal built CRED into one of India’s most important technology companies,” Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg said in a statement. “He brings the kind of builder mentality and global perspective that will serve him well in running the world’s biggest messaging app.” Shah, a serial entrepreneur and influential figure in India’s fintech world, started CRED in 2018 after selling an earlier payments startup to Indian e-commerce giant Snapdeal for roughly $400 million. He is also one of India’s most prolific angel investors, according to data tracker Tracxn, with the local financial press often reporting how Shah agrees to seed funding pitches within minutes of hearing them. But over the last few years, Shah has focused on building CRED — which got its start by offering rewards to customers for timely credit card payments. Since then, the company has aggressively expanded into offering wealth management, insurance and lending services to its 17m users. This experience is likely to help WhatsApp as it seeks new revenue streams that go beyond the core advertising business of Meta, which also runs Facebook and Instagram. While India is WhatsApp’s largest market — with over half a billion users, according to 2021 government figures — analysts say it has largely missed the chance to build an equally popular payments service. In May, the messaging app offered businesses in India the ability to use artificial intelligence for services including responding to customers at all hours or booking appointments. Shah acknowledged the scope for future growth, saying in a statement that the gap between “WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive”. India’s startup ecosystem also celebrated Shah’s appointment — the latest example of an Indian-born executive becoming the leader of a Silicon Valley company. Sajith Pai of Blume Ventures, an early stage Indian start-up backer said Shah was getting an “even bigger canvas to paint his bold brushstrokes in”. “Great news for everyone in the Indian startup ecosystem, and for India!”

    The world’s internet infrastructure is under threat – who is going to protect it?

    The world’s internet infrastructure is under threat – who is going to protect it? The World Today iallan.drupal 8 June 2026 The Iran conflict has highlighted the vulnerability of data centres and seabed cables – these essential amenities need an international legal framework to safeguard them, writes Calum Inverarity. When Iranian drones struck three Amazon Web Services data centres in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain on 1 March 2026, the disruption was immediate. Payment firms Alaan and Hubpay reported disruption to their services. Banks, including Emirates NBD and the Abu Dhabi Commercial Bank experienced intermittent failures in mobile and phone banking services. Careem, the region’s leading taxi and delivery platform, reported disruption before its chief executive confirmed services were fully restored 48 hours later. Most commentary has focused on what this means for technology investment in the Gulf, the legal implications of targeting military-commercial infrastructure and the physical security of data centres. These are worthy of attention, but they are not the most important question the strikes raise. Data infrastructure, including data centres, subsea cables and satellites, underpins fundamental aspects of modern society. Reliable digital systems depend on data quality, governance and how effectively and safely data can be shared. When it fails, the cost falls not only on cloud providers and banks but on the people who rely on public services vital for the functioning of daily life. The question missing from the coverage, however, is who, in the event of an attack, is responsible for protecting the physical foundations of this infrastructure and by what international framework? Undersea cables Data centres themselves are only part of the picture. The internet also depends on a network of fibre-optic cables laid on the ocean floor. It is estimated that $10 trillion worth of financial transactions are carried through undersea cables every day. Health records, electoral infrastructure, emergency services and energy grid management all depend on data flows that utilize these cables. $10 trillion worth of financial transactions are estimated to be carried through undersea cables every day. Many of these cables are concentrated in the Red Sea, which carry approximately 17 per cent of global internet traffic, and 90 per cent of traffic between Europe and Asia. A separate set of four cables traverses the Strait of Hormuz, serving Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE. The Strait of Hormuz has been virtually closed to commercial shipping traffic since Iran declared it shut on 3 March. But while the Gulf strikes have provided a vivid illustration, the pattern is not new. Since late 2023, Houthi attacks have made the Red Sea effectively impassable for most commercial vessels, forcing shipping to reroute around Africa. In March 2024, four cables in the Red Sea were severed, disrupting roughly a quarter of internet traffic between Asia, Europe and the Middle East, with connectivity losses of up to 90 per cent recorded in Ethiopia and Somalia. Doug Madory, director of internet analysis at Kentik, a network intelligence firm, has described the prospect of both passages being closed simultaneously as ‘a globally disruptive event’ and unprecedented. The consequence for undersea cables is that repair vessels cannot safely reach them if they are damaged in either of these straits. Currently, only one out of five vessels belonging to the UAE-based company ‘e-Marine’ is available to service cables inside the Gulf. In the Red Sea, no repair vessel can safely operate. Commercial interests Another major vulnerability revealed by the recent strikes is the role of the private sector. Over the past decade, a small number of private companies have become responsible for the world’s entire internet infrastructure. This network of subsea cables was designed for connectivity, not for protection in the event of conflict. The world’s network of subsea cables was designed for connectivity, not for protection in the event of conflict. Open Data Institute research published in 2023 documented how the four largest technology companies – Google, Meta, Microsoft and Amazon – went from owning a single long-distance undersea cable connecting the United States and Japan in 2010 to more than 30 such cables in 2024, which provided greater connectivity across the world, while three companies – Amazon Web Services, Microsoft’s Azure and Google Cloud – controlled more than half the world’s biggest data centres. In response to the Gulf strikes, analysts have suggested companies could accelerate investment in alternative locations such as India, which would not address this concentration but simply relocate it. The issue is that data centres and undersea cables are privately owned infrastructure that cross national borders and international water. When centres serving numerous countries are damaged in a conflict, it is unclear whether international obligations still apply and who should coordinate a response when repair vessels cannot operate. The international legal framework governing undersea cables was not built to respond to these questions. The foundational international agreement on their protection dates to 1884. The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea extended some protections in 1994 within exclusive economic zones, but beyond those boundaries, the responsibilities of states and private companies remain poorly defined. Private companies have no recourse against state attackers under existing law which has not been substantially updated since the 19th century. The private sector has typically responded to subsea threats by investing in technical solutions, including constructing new data centers to distribute storage and build redundancy. But this response doesn’t address the problem of concentrating the world’s data into the hands of several tech providers. Legal analysts have noted that private companies have virtually no recourse against state attackers under existing law and the governance framework has not been substantially updated since the 19th century. Given these gaps, Christian Bueger, a professor of international relations at the University of Copenhagen and a leading scholar of maritime security and ocean governance, has argued that submarine cables should be treated as critical maritime infrastructure requiring clearer international governance arrangements and stronger protection. Calls for protection The problem is that there are no clear-cut answers to what this protection should look like. A modernized framework would have to enforce state behaviour in a number of difficult circumstances, including in international waters where the cables are privately owned, in disputed conflict zones and when repair vessels have no safe passage. But calls for new regulations are growing. Even the tech sector, which has shown little appetite for international governance frameworks in the past, appears to have changed position in light of events in the Gulf. Since early April, US tech firms, have lobbied the government for ‘clear deterrence against attacks on commercial assets, and firm commitments for the US and other governments to defend those assets.’ This indicates the desire of the private sector for greater security guarantees for critical data infrastructure but falls short of concerted efforts to establish shared governance frameworks and how these should be owned and regulated. Related work Building tomorrow’s digital public infrastructure Recent initiatives, including the European Union’s Action Plan on Cable Security, offers some ideas of next steps. Adopted in February 2025, the plan establishes a framework built on four stages: prevention, detection, response, and repair, with €347 million new investment committed for 2026-2027, including funding specifically for cable repair capacity. Soon after the EU Commission published a report assessing the resilience of the EU’s subsea cable infrastructure, suggesting reasonable buy-in to the effort. Additionally, a 2024 joint statement on cable governance endorsed by Britain, the EU, Canada Japan, and the previous US administration, signals an existing coalition of like-minded partners on which a broader legal framework could be developed. This spells out the next steps to be taken, such as mandated transparency requirements on cable operators about infrastructure and vulnerabilities, coordinated deployment of repair vessels and corresponding international safe-passage corridors. Britain’s role Britain is keenly aware of the potential vulnerability of its offshore cable infrastructure. In April, the government took the unusual step of publicly condemning Russia for conducting ‘covert’ operations near its subsea cables and pipelines in the North Sea. Looking ahead, the UK could play an important role in international cable governance.

    Sosyal medya sanık sandalyesinde

    Dünya, sosyal medyanın olumsuz etkilerine karşı harekete geçti. BBC’nin haberine göre, sosyal medya platformlarına karşı ABD’de açılan davalar, sektörün geleceğini değiştirme potansiyeli taşıyor. Facebook ve Instagram’ın sahibi Meta, YouTube’un sahibi Google, Snapchat, TikTok, Discord ve sosyal oyun platformu Roblox gibi şirketler, özellikle çocuk kullanıcılar üzerinde olumsuz etkiler yarattıkları iddiasıyla binlerce dava ile karşı karşıya. BBC’ye konuşan Columbia Hukuk Fakültesi’nden Profesör Eric Talley, bu davaların sadece hukukçular tarafından değil, düzenleyici kurumlar ve yasa koyucular tarafından da yakından izlendiğini vurguluyor. Özellikle platform merkezlerinin bulunduğu Kaliforniya’da görülen davalar, “Kaliforniya etkisi” olarak adlandırılan bir durumla ülke çapında yasal değişimlere öncülük ediyor. Syracuse Üniversitesi’nden Profesör Alexis Shore Ingber ise platformlardaki çocuk güvenliği sorununun artık inkar edilemez bir noktada olduğunu ve bu davaların kritik bir dönüm noktası oluşturduğunu belirtiyor. 4 dava kritik Bu yıl ve gelecek yıl içinde sosyal medya şirketleri, genç kullanıcılar, ebeveynler, okul bölgeleri ve eyalet savcıları tarafından açılan davalarda jüri karşısına çıkmaya hazırlanıyor. Davalarda, sosyal medya platformlarının işleyiş biçimlerinin çeşitli olumsuz sonuçlara yol açtığı iddiaları değerlendirilecek. BBC’nin incelediği ve sosyal platformların işleyişini kalıcı olarak değiştirme potansiyeli taşıyan davalar arasında öne çıkanlar şöyle: ABD’de 1.000’den fazla okul bölgesi Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat ve TikTok’u çocuklarda bağımlılık yaratacak şekilde tasarlanmakla suçluyor. Okullar, sosyal medyanın yol açtığı ruhsal ve duygusal sorunların eğitim sistemine ek maliyet yüklediğini savunuyor. 29 eyalet, Meta’yı çocukların çevrimiçi gizliliğini koruyan COPPA yasasını ihlal etmekle suçluyor. Dava, 13 yaş altındaki çocukların platformları kullanmasını yeterince engellemediği iddiasına dayanıyor. 13 yaşındaki bir çocuk, Roblox ve Discord üzerinden bir yetişkin tarafından istismar amacıyla hedef alındığını öne sürerek dava açtı. Davada, iki platformun çocuk güvenliği konusunda yanıltıcı pazarlama yaptığı ve tasarımlarının yetersiz olduğu savunuluyor. Avustralyalı milyarder Dr. Andrew Forrest, adını ve görüntüsünü kullanan sahte yatırım reklamlarını engellemediği gerekçesiyle Meta’ya dava açtı. Kanada’dan yaş freni Kanada’da 16 yaşın altındaki çocukların sosyal medya platformlarını kullanmasını yasaklayacak ve çevrim içi güvenliği denetlemek üzere yeni bir bağımsız düzenleyici kurum kurulmasını öngören yasa tasarısı parlamentoya sunuldu.

    Avrupa Birliği'nden Meta'ya WhatsApp talimatı: 5 gün içinde kısıtlamaları kaldırın

    AB Komisyonu, Meta'nın rakip genel amaçlı yapay zeka asistanlarının WhatsApp üzerinden hizmet sunmasını engelleyen uygulamasına ilişkin yürüttüğü rekabet soruşturması kapsamında geçici tedbir kararı aldığını açıkladı. Açıklamada, Meta'nın WhatsApp üzerinden rakip yapay zeka hizmetlerinin kullanımını sınırlandırmasının, hızla büyüyen yapay zeka asistanları pazarında rekabete ciddi zarar verme riski taşıdığı belirtildi. META KONUMUNU KÖTÜYE KULLANIYOR AB Komisyonu'nun ilk değerlendirmesine göre Meta'nın Avrupa'daki tüketici iletişim uygulamaları pazarında hakim konumda bulunduğu belirtilen açıklamada, şirketin bu konumunu kötüye kullanarak rakip yapay zeka asistanlarının WhatsApp'a erişimini engellediği kaydedildi. Açıklamada, Meta'nın 15 Ekim 2025'te yürürlüğe koyduğu politika ile üçüncü taraf genel amaçlı yapay zeka asistanlarının WhatsApp üzerinden hizmet sunmasının yasaklandığı, böylece yalnızca şirketin kendi yapay zeka hizmeti Meta AI'ın WhatsApp'ta erişilebilir kaldığı anımsatıldı. 5 GÜN SÜRE VERİLDİ AB Komisyonu'nun, Meta'nın daha sonra üçüncü taraf yapay zeka hizmetlerine yeniden erişim izni verdiğini ancak talep ettiği ücretlerin fiilen önceki yasağa eşdeğer bir engel oluşturduğunu değerlendirdiği belirtilen açıklamada, alınan son karar kapsamında Meta'dan 5 iş günü içinde, 15 Ekim 2025 öncesinde geçerli olan şartlar çerçevesinde rakip yapay zeka asistanlarına WhatsApp Business API'ye ücretsiz erişimi yeniden sağlamasının istendiği ifade edildi. AB ülkelerinde faaliyet gösteren şirketlerin sektörlerinde rekabete aykırı bir durum bulunup bulunmadığını denetleme yetkisi AB Komisyonu'nda bulunuyor. AB Komisyonu, bu tür soruşturmalarda şirketlerin rekabet kurallarını ihlal edip etmediğini değerlendiriyor, rekabete zarar veren uygulamaların tespit edilmesi halinde ise söz konusu uygulamaların sona erdirilmesini talep ediyor ve şirketlere yüksek para cezaları uygulayabiliyor.

    Anthropic urges AI labs to pause development, warns humans risk losing control

    Anthropic is calling on major artificial intelligence (AI) labs to consider a coordinated and verifiable pause in development, warning that rapid advances in the technology could soon allow AI systems to improve themselves faster than society can manage the risks. The Claude creator said AI’s ability to complete tasks on its own has been doubling roughly every four months and it was headed for “recursive self-improvement”, the point at which the technology can improve without human intervention. “If systems are capable of fully building their own successors, the ways we secure them, monitor them, and shape their behaviour all grow much more important,” the startup said in a lengthy blog post on Thursday, adding that a pause would allow society to “deal with its immense implications”. “We are not there yet, and recursive self-improvement is not inevitable. But it could come sooner than most institutions are prepared for,” Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark and Anthropic Institute lead Marina Favaro wrote in the post. Fears that advanced AI systems may get out of human control and cause societal harm have risen as the technology becomes increasingly capable. Anthropic’s own Mythos model sent shockwaves through industries, including banking and software, earlier this year with its ability to find vulnerabilities in existing code. But regulation has been slow, especially in the US where most leading AI labs are based. A Trump administration executive order earlier this week put the onus on the labs themselves, asking them to voluntarily submit their most capable models for government cybersecurity testing before public release. AI researchers have also urged a pause before but had little success. Elon Musk, who owns AI lab xAI, was among backers of a 2023 push by the non-profit Future of Life Institute to halt AI development for six months to allow time for safety guardrails. Anthropic has long positioned itself as a safety-focused AI lab. Earlier this year, it refused to let the US military use its models for domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, prompting backlash from the government which put it on a national security blacklist, set to take effect later in 2026. Reuters reported on Friday that the dispute was showing signs of easing across parts of the US government. Still, Anthropic has continued to release increasingly powerful models and in February walked back a key safety pledge, saying that it would no longer hold back potentially dangerous AI if rivals were close to matching its capabilities. It was recently valued at $965 billion in a massive funding round and confidentially filed for a US initial public offering on Monday, putting it ahead of rival OpenAI in both valuation and the race to secure crucial funding. Coordinated action Anthropic’s Thursday post cautioned that unilateral or poorly coordinated slowdowns could backfire if less cautious actors continue advancing, potentially reducing overall safety. It said that a meaningful pause would require agreement among “multiple well-resourced labs” operating at the technological frontier, as well as rules on what conditions would trigger or lift such a pause and who would oversee it. “A unilateral pause by one lab, by contrast, is achievable immediately, but accomplishes much less: it would change who the front-runner is, but it would not create the wider deliberative process that is currently missing,” the startup said. Its research arm, Anthropic Institute, plans to study systems needed to support a slowdown and in the coming months will convene policymakers, researchers, civil society groups and rival AI firms to discuss managing risks such as recursive self-improvement. OpenAI, xAI, Alphabet, Meta Platforms and France’s Mistral did not immediately respond to requests for comment on whether they would join the call.
