CEO Tom Reeg indicated that a digital sell-off could come next year once forecasts are met.

The methods of killing are many: air strikes, shelling, the systematic destruction of hospitals and homes, and, increasingly, forced starvation. Some states, such as Türkiye, South Africa, and much of the Global South, have long described Israel’s actions as genocidal and spoken…
The Australian government announced on Wednesday that YouTube will be among the social media platforms that must ensure account holders are at least 16 years old from December this year. This is a reversal of its earlier position taken months ago on the popular video-sharing service.
