Media Social Media and Updates
A new "kids online safety" law in Arizona would make posting the South Park clip of Trump and Satan having sex illegal, unless the social media user was able to upload Trump's government ID and a consent form from him allowing them to post the clip.

iPhones have massively democratised video production. Also, every 'podcast' is now a TV show with a felt-lined room and $20k of gear.

What's the most underrated social metric? I'd say Average Post Views. Anyone can go viral. Anyone can make a content calendar. But can your content consistently perform? Can you routinely get views on your videos and static posts? If you wanna dig...
A journalist reported a missile strike. Then came the death threats. “You have 90 minutes left to update the lie" https://t.co/ljrUWAs3zq

Voice of America is ready for its comeback. A federal judge ordered 1,000 employees back to work, and told the government to resume broadcasting. The hardest task ahead, staffers say, may be restoring trust with audiences. https://t.co/ZmF0Ky699X

Sadly more and more creators are having their accounts banned or restricted as the government pressures social media platforms to censor online speech.
“Native” advertisement, am I right. Ads are fine, as long as it’s clear they’re paid placements. Stuff like this breaks immersion and destroys author trust. Horrible practice.
I wonder if this also applies to creators who are actively posting on Facebook? 🤔 https://www.cnbc.com/2026/03/18/meta-creator-pay-instagram-tiktok-youtube-facebook.html
Working on an AI Creator Summit in LA! What timing would be better to host?

When they make movies with AI versions of now-dead actors, will they update them as models get better? Will there be purists who insist that the 2027 version just doesn't have the soul of the '26 original?
