From friendships to frauds the internet is changing
The internet, born out of 1960s research initiatives and initially developed as a U.S. Department of Defence project.
Early adopters remember the cumbersome days of dial-up connections and limited online interactions.
Fast forward to the present, and technology mogul Elon Musk has propelled the evolution further with ventures like Starlink and made adjustments to social media platforms such as ‘X’.
Content creator MrBeast has expanded his audience with Youtube streaming and is now exploring extended content formats, emphasising the internet’s continuous evolution, now geared towards gaming, streaming, and innovative partnerships as well as streaming networks for video.
The internet has unleashed a trifecta of challenges. Cybersecurity threats like hacking and identity theft jeopardise personal and financial information, heightening privacy concerns.
Concurrently, online harassment and bullying thrive on the internet’s anonymity, causing severe emotional consequences.
Additionally, the rapid spread of misinformation online, with false narratives gaining quick traction, poses a significant risk, influencing public opinion and potentially causing harm – So where to from here?

U.S. pushes Ukraine toward controversial peace plan with Russia
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
US pressures Ukraine to accept a peace plan risking territory loss amid ongoing conflict with Russia.
The United States is pressuring Ukraine to accept a peace plan that would see the country surrender territory and military equipment as part of a negotiated settlement with Russia. The proposal has sparked concern within Kyiv over the potential loss of sovereignty and long-term security.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is in Turkey discussing this plan, which may also involve cuts to Ukraine’s armed forces. His visit comes as Washington intensifies efforts under the Trump administration to secure an end to the conflict, despite fears the terms could undermine Ukraine’s national interests.
As Russian forces continue their aggressive campaign, holding roughly 19% of Ukrainian territory, Zelenskiy is attempting to revive peace talks before winter further complicates the frontline. The stakes remain high as the geopolitical landscape shifts.

Senate upholds vote to release Epstein files despite White House delay attempt; Trump signals intent to sign bill.
The White House tried to delay a vote on the release of Justice Department files connected to Jeffrey Epstein, even as former President Trump insisted there was nothing to hide.
Despite this, the Senate approved the measure exactly as it passed the House, ignoring amendments proposed by Trump’s aides. This move clears the path for the files to be made public in full.
Trump has indicated he intends to sign the bill, marking a significant shift after the White House’s attempt to block or delay the vote proved unsuccessful. The decision could have wide-reaching implications for transparency and ongoing investigations.
