 Brazil’s former president Bolsonaro hospitalized in intensive care with pneumonia, officials say   Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro is being treated in an intensive care unit in Brasilia after developing pneumonia, hospital officials said Friday.

Australia’s law, set to take effect December 10, requires platforms to deactivate accounts belonging to users under 16. France, Denmark, Italy, and Norway are also considering similar rules, while in the U.S., 24 states have passed age-verification laws, with Utah requiring app stores to verify age and obtain parental consent for minors. The U.K.’s Online Safety Act, effective July, mandates strong age checks and blocks children from harmful online content, with penalties for noncompliance.
