❗️UK regulators Ofcom and the Information Commissioner's Office are turning up the pressure on social media platforms to strengthen age checks for under-13 users. They have asked platforms including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Roblox and X to introduce more robust age assurance, highlighting that self-declared age checks are easily bypassed.

With Ofcom estimating that 86% of children aged 10–12 already have social media profiles, the call for stronger verification is becoming impossible to ignore. For the industry, the message is clear: effective age verification is no longer optional, it’s essential for protecting young users online. 🙏

Romance scam losses have skyrocketed 37%, and reported cases are up 15%. What starts with heart emojis and late-night messages can quickly turn into financial and emotional heartbreak. From dating apps and social media to AI-generated “perfect matches,” scammers are working overtime to steal more than just your heart.

In our latest report, “The Surge of the US Age Verification Laws: 2026 Outlook,” we break down what these differences mean in practice and how businesses can prepare for compliance across multiple US states 👇

💙 Blue Monday? Only for fraudsters.
While today is often considered the “bluest” day of the year, we see it a little differently. For businesses built on trust, clarity, and smart decisions, it’s just another day of moving forward.

But for fraudsters? Their days are getting harder.

So if it’s Blue Monday at all, let it be blue for those trying to cheat the system. 😇
