France made history by becoming the first country in the European Union to legally ban children under 15 from opening social media accounts. The measure will require platforms to close existing profiles and implement advanced systems to verify the real age of their users.

Behind this drastic decision is a serious warning from experts about mental health. Doctors and psychologists explain that the adolescent brain is at a key stage of neurodevelopment. The overstimulation caused by screens overloads their reward system, making dopamine surge and generating addictive behaviors.

Because they are designed to capture attention for as long as possible, these apps subject young people to a constant search for validation and ongoing comparison. A developing brain cannot always process this digital pressure, which is directly associated with spikes in anxiety, low self-esteem, sleep disturbances, and declines in cognitive performance.

Do you think the rest of the world should follow this path? 👀

As the a rescuer reflects on the East New Britain boat Tragedy.

24 STILL MISSING: “I could have saved them all if I had the resources”

A tragic boating accident near Pigeon Island and Kokopo on Saturday, July 18 has left families in shock, with 24 passengers still missing. Two boats carrying 27 people — 17 children and 10 adults — sank during the journey.

Apelis Isikel Wasman, a veteran volunteer sea rescuer who has worked with the East New Britain Provincial Disaster Office since 2019, recounted the harrowing events. He explained that he was alerted between 4 pm and 5 pm after survivors were spotted in the water. Three boats passing by reported the incident but could not assist because they lacked enough fuel.

Wasman immediately tried to coordinate with Provincial Disaster Coordinator Donald Tokunai and other officials to send rescue vessels. Drawing on his experience, he predicted that the current would carry victims toward Djaul Island in New Ireland Province. Despite his warnings, limited resources delayed the rescue effort.

Reflecting on the tragedy, Wasman said: “If I had fuel and a boat, I could have saved all of them.” His words highlight the desperate need for better support and equipment for local rescuers.

As of the latest update, four bodies have been recovered, while twenty-four remain missing, leaving families waiting anxiously for news.
