Under the new rules, social media companies and popular websites face fines of up to AU$49.5 million ($33 million) if they allow underage users to maintain accounts.

 Howard Stern delays SiriusXM return amid growing speculation over his future

Howard Stern has postponed his return to his SiriusXM show, which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, amid ongoing speculation about the future of the program. The legendary radio host has been off the air since late July for his annual summer break, and the summer months have seen heightened attention on his contract negotiations and possible exit.

In August, British tabloid The Sun reported that Stern’s show might end due to difficulties reaching a new contract with SiriusXM. The Stern Show’s X account amplified the rumors with a video teasing multiple possibilities: “Fired? Retiring? Canceled? Bye-Bye Booey? Howard Stern will speak.” The announcement was initially slated for Sept. 2, but on Tuesday morning, the show’s X account updated fans, saying Stern will now reveal his plans on Sept. 8. Stern’s social media team has continued to fuel speculation with posts and memes hinting at the uncertainty of his return. While the specifics of the announcement remain unclear, some industry insiders have speculated that the host could be stepping away from the airwaves. SiriusXM and Stern have not made any recent comments regarding his contract.
