NFL games debut on Netflix Christmas Day; global streaming, star performances, and playoff stakes highlight milestone event.

Netflix is streaming NFL games for the first time on Christmas Day.

The event, titled “NFL Christmas Gameday on Netflix,” features a two-hour pregame show before the games kick off.

Pittsburgh will host Kansas City, and Baltimore will face Houston in the afternoon matches.

This arrangement is part of a three-year contract signed in May for Christmas Day games.

The games will be available to Netflix’s 282.3 million subscribers in 190 countries, making it the first platform to distribute an NFL game globally.

Netflix will provide the games in five languages: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, and German.

Additionally, the games will air on CBS affiliates in the teams’ local markets.

The NFL’s decision to move games to a streaming platform stems from financial motivations, with the league receiving $150 million for these two games.

Despite being on a typically quiet day for NFL games, Christmas has proven popular, drawing over 28 million viewers in 2022.

All four teams involved have secured playoff spots, but positioning is still uncertain.

Kansas City can secure the top seed with a win against Pittsburgh, while the Steelers and Ravens are in a tight race in the AFC North.

Netflix has addressed streaming issues experienced during previous events and aims for smooth service during these games.

Celebrity performances, including Mariah Carey and Beyoncé, are scheduled to enhance the day.

Netflix will continue airing Christmas games in the coming years.

Australia’s social media ban leads to 4.7 million teen account closures, prompting debate over online safety and freedom.

Nearly five million social media accounts belonging to Australian teenagers have been closed since the nation’s social media ban began in December. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok were responsible for removing around 4.7 million accounts held by minors, according to the eSafety Commissioner.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese described the figures as encouraging, highlighting the government’s commitment to protecting children online. The new law holds social media companies accountable, with fines imposed on platforms that fail to prevent underage accounts from being created or maintained.

Despite these measures, some teenagers have reportedly bypassed the restrictions by falsifying their ages or using parental information. The debate continues over the effectiveness of these regulations and the balance between safety and online freedom.

Greenland, Denmark assert Arctic island not for sale, emphasizing cooperation with the US on their own terms.

Greenland and Denmark have used high-level talks in Washington, D.C. to firmly restate that the Arctic island is not for sale, pushing back against long-standing US interest in the strategically vital territory.

Foreign ministers from both Greenland and Denmark acknowledged that major disagreements remain following discussions with US officials, despite what they described as constructive engagement on shared priorities.

Greenland’s government made clear it is open to closer cooperation with Washington, but only on its own terms, rejecting any suggestion of ownership or control.
