00:13 China warns the Philippines to resolve tensions over the South China Sea via dialogue

00:17 The new Presidential Communications Aid of Malacanang posts a fake memo declaring December

00:22 22 a special half-working day

00:25 The United States wants to place more restrictions on making money off children's data

00:30 And the European Union wants stricter regulations for Pornhub, StripChat and Xvideos

00:37 Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi warns the Philippines to address through dialogue what

00:41 China sees as serious difficulties in their relations over the South China Sea

00:45 Beijing and Manila have traded sharp accusations in recent months over run-ins in the contested

00:50 waters

00:51 In a phone call, Wang tells Foreign Affairs Secretary Enrique Manalo, "If the Philippines

00:56 misjudges or colludes with ill-intentioned external forces in the disputed waters, China

01:01 would defend its rights and respond resolutely"

01:04 China lays claim to most of the waters within a so-called "nine-dash line" which is also

01:08 contested by Brunei, Malaysia, Taiwan and Vietnam

01:12 This after Philippine Defense Secretary Gilberto Chodoro rebukes China for accusing the Philippines

01:17 of provoking tension and stirring trouble in the South China Sea

01:20 The Permanent Court of Arbitration in 2016 says China's claims had no legal basis, a

01:26 ruling the United States supports but Beijing rejects

01:31 Presidential Assistant for Strategic Communication Cesar Chavez apologizes for sharing a fake

01:36 memo on Facebook stating December 22 had been declared a "special half-working day" by

01:40 Malacanang

01:42 Major media outlets and local government pages shared the news on social media, mistaking

01:46 it for an official Malacanang document

01:49 In its official gazette, Malacanang says, "The document circulating as Proclamation

01:54 No. 427 declaring December 22 as a special half-working day throughout the Philippines

01:59 is false. Proclamation No. 427 refers to the declaration of nine artists as Manalikhanang

02:05 Bayan for 2023, signed by Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin on December 15."

02:11 Chavez apologizes for "posting content that was not first verified by himself"

02:16 President Ferdinand Marquez Jr. transferred Chavez from the Department of Transportation

02:20 to the Office of the President earlier in December. As Presidential Assistant for Strategic

02:25 Communications, he retains the rank of undersecretary

02:30 The United States Federal Trade Commission says it is considering changing the children's

02:34 online privacy protection rule to put more restrictions on when and how companies could

02:39 monetize children's data. The restrictions would limit how companies can use notifications

02:44 to nudge children to stay online, affecting companies which collect personal information

02:48 about users under the age of 13. Companies would have to get separate, verifiable parental

02:53 consent to share most information about children with advertisers and other third parties.

02:59 Critics have accused the platforms of failing to address mental health harms done by algorithms.

03:04 The proposed changes would reinforce that companies cannot ban children from an activity

03:08 if they decline to allow collection of personal data, and would allow school districts to

03:12 bar companies providing educational technology for using any information it collects for

03:17 a commercial purpose. The FTC would accept comments on the rule for 60 days.

03:24 The European Union adds three adult content companies — Pornhub, StripChat and Xvideos

03:29 — to its list of firms subject to strict regulations under new online content rules.

03:35 Digital Services Act requires companies to conduct risk management, undergo external

03:39 and independent auditing, and share data with authorities and researchers. In April, the

03:44 EU designated five Alphabet subsidiaries, two Meta platforms, two Microsoft businesses,

03:50 X and Alibaba's AliExpress among 19 companies under the rules.

03:56 Pornhub says it had 33 million average monthly users as of July 31. Xvideos says it has over

04:02 160 million users in the EU, while StripChat claims to have over 500 million users globally.

04:09 Within four months of the designation, Pornhub, Xvideos and StripChat will have to adopt measures

04:14 to protect users online, including minors, and mitigate any systemic risks stemming from

04:18 their services.
