NEW YORK, Dec 11 (Reuters Breakingviews) - Social media is giving off a stronger whiff of tobacco. An Australian law banning kids from using TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat represents the latest evidence of growing fear that such apps harm developing brains. Technology titans probably can withstand any immediate loss of revenue. As cigarette makers discovered, however, longer-term effects are the real drag. Canberra approved legislation last month designed to restrict anyone under 16 from logging into popular sharing and chat services. There are some quirks, including the exclusion of Alphabet’s (GOOGL.O) , opens new tab YouTube because schools use it. Meta Platforms (META.O) , opens new tab , the $1.5 trillion owner of Facebook and Instagram, contends , opens new tab that if implemented next year as expected, the restrictions could have the unintended consequence of requiring personal identification or biometric data to comply. Nevertheless, the decision Down Under intensifies the idea that social media, like smoking, is addictive and dangerous for youngsters. U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy issued a warning , opens new tab last year about adolescent exposure, citing an increased risk of depression, anxiety and eating disorders. A group of more than 30 U.S. state attorneys general also have sued Meta, alleging a scheme to exploit younger users for profit. Florida is trying to prohibit children 14 and under from having accounts. Europe provides an early test case. In response to new rules enacted last year, Meta suspended advertising across the continent to people 18 years or younger and introduced a new ad-free, subscription-based option. For now, its top line in the region is rising faster than in the United States and Canada, but the rate of growth also fell quicker in recent quarters. If more countries follow suit, the damage will be even tougher to manage. About 16% of the world’s population is aged 10 to 19, according to UNICEF. Assume they account for the same percentage of Meta’s estimated 3.3 billion daily active users, per Visible Alpha, or 500 million. On its average revenue of $49 per person, 50% EBITDA margin and multiple of 19 times, it would equate to nearly $250 billion of enterprise value at stake. Tobacco companies tell an even more cautionary tale. Phillip Morris and its peers were forced to pay $200 billion in legal settlements over a 25-year period, in part for targeting adolescents. Moreover, between 1998 and 2019, regular smoking by high schoolers dropped from a peak of 36% to 6%. The decline led to about $4 billion in lost future revenue from a single teen cohort studied , opens new tab by the U.S. National Institutes of Health. As concerned parents, elected officials and lawsuits turn up the heat on social media services, they too will feel the burn.

Chinese automakers continue to face uncertainties in global marketBroncos cornerback Riley Moss (knee) was listed as a non-participant despite stretching with the team during Wednesday’s practice. After Moss stretched, he did not participate in individual drills and went into the indoor practice field, where he worked with a trainer. Moss missed Week 13’s win over the Browns due to an MCL injury that he suffered in Denver’s victory against the Raiders last month. The injury also kept him from practicing the week leading up to the team’s Monday night showdown against Cleveland. This season, Moss has been a solid presence at outside cornerback. He has 71 tackles, an interception and eight passes defended in 12 starts. The former Iowa standout and high school track star also has given up 595 yards, two touchdowns and a passer rating of 89.4 on 78 targets. In addition to Moss’ return, starting safety Brandon Jones was a limited participant due to an abdominal injury. Jones missed Denver’s matchup against the Falcons with the same injury. He was also an early exit in the game against the Browns because of a groin issue. Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton said the team’s decision to let go of veteran wide receiver Josh Reynolds caught him off guard. “I’m definitely going to miss Josh,” Sutton said. “I texted him after that happened. The guy was a true professional, a very selfless guy in our room and we appreciated him. I have so much love for him.” Reynolds was waived by the team last week after he had totaled 12 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown in five games played. He was placed on injured reserve after Week 5’s win over Las Vegas due to a finger injury, which required minor surgery. While Reynolds recovered from his injury, he was shot twice in an incident during which he and two others had their vehicle shot at more than 30 times Payton said Monday the decision to move on from Reynolds came down to a numbers game. Payton added that the team would’ve liked to keep him but due to players returning from injury and the development of young players such as 26-year-old rookie Devaughn Vele (33 catches, 377 yards, one touchdown) and second-year wideout Marvin Mims Jr. (19 catches, 267 yards, two touchdowns), the Broncos had to make a tough decision. “I think our young guys have shown up and continued to develop as we’ve wanted them to,” Sutton said. “The young guys are starting to find their niche and they’re making plays. That’s all you can ask for.” One of the greatest coaches of all time is headed to the college level. Former Patriots head coach Bill Belichick accepted a deal to become the next coach at North Carolina, . Before the news broke, Payton expressed optimism about Belichick being able to handle the college level. “I’m sure he’s got a plan and he’s going to do what’s best,” Payton said. “I’m a big fan of his and think the world of him.”

Hail Flutie: BC celebrates 40th anniversary of Miracle in MiamiIndonesia has agreed to return to Australia the five remaining members of the so-called “Bali Nine” drug smuggling ring who are currently serving life sentences, senior government officials said over the weekend. On Friday, The Australian newspaper quoted Yusril Ihza Mahendra, the coordinating minister for law, human rights, immigration, and correctional institutions, saying President Prabowo Subianto had “approved the steps” to settle the matter. He said that the transfer was expected to be done next month. Law Minister Supratman Andi Agtas subsequently told several media outlets that Prabowo had agreed to the repatriation in principle. However, the details were yet to be worked out, given that the two nations do not have a prisoner swap arrangement. It was likely that in return, Jakarta would seek the repatriation of Indonesian prisoners held in Australia, he added, although this was disputed by some Australian officials. The Guardian quoted Supratman as saying that the remaining members of the Bali Nine would “hopefully” be home by the end of the year, although the president would have the final word. “It’s based on humanitarian grounds and also about good relations between Australia and Indonesia,” he added. Scott Rush, Matthew Norman, Si-Yi Chen, Martin Stephens, and Michael Czugaj were among the nine Australians arrested for attempting to smuggle 8.3 kilograms of heroin into Australia from the island of Bali. They are currently serving life sentences in prisons on the islands of Bali and Java. Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese raised the issue of their repatriation during a meeting with Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto on the sidelines of the APEC Summit in Peru earlier this month, Australian Assistant Treasurer Stephen Jones said in a press conference on Saturday. He reportedly also discussed the five Australians with Prabowo’s predecessor, Joko Widodo, whose term ended in October. The Albanese government says it is still discussing the details of the prisoners’ repatriation. The announcement came less than a week after the Philippines announced that Mary Jane Veloso, a Filipino woman on death row for drug trafficking in a separate case, would be allowed to serve the rest of her sentence in her home country. Indonesia confirmed the arrangement. Veloso, now 39, has been on death row in Indonesia since her arrest for heroin trafficking in Yogyakarta in 2010. The mother of two enjoyed a last-minute reprieve in 2015, when she was scheduled to be executed along with eight other drug convicts at Nusa Kambangan prison off the coast of Java. These included Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran, the ringleaders of the “Bali Nine.” Of the remaining two members of “Bali Nine,” Tan Duc Than Nguyen died of cancer in June 2018, and the sole female member of the group, Renae Lawrence, was released and deported to Australia in November 2018. The Albanese government has now enjoyed considerable success in securing the release of Australian nationals held in overseas prisons. These included the economist Sean Turnell , who was released by Myanmar’s military junta in November 2022, journalist Cheng Lei , who was freed from prison in China in October 2023, and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange , who flew home to Australia in June after his release from prison in the United Kingdom. There is a lot that needs to happen before the five Australians return home – the prisoners’ release has already become the subject of political sniping by Albanese’s opponents, who have demanded that he divulge the details of its agreement with the Indonesian government – and there will almost certainly be conditions attached to their return. As in Veloso’s case, the Indonesian government will expect its Australian counterparts to respect the Indonesian court verdicts. Appearing on Sky News yesterday, Special Minister of State Don Farrell said that the prisoners would likely not be released . “They would continue to serve their sentence, except they’re serving them in Australia,” Farrell said. However, the fact that the new Indonesian government has approved repatriation deals for both Veloso and the remaining “Bali Nine” members could be a sign that it intends to take a more flexible approach to foreigners serving long drug-related sentences in Indonesian prisons. These compromises could perhaps be interpreted as a low-cost gesture of friendship to longstanding partners, on the part of a leader who is expected to take a much more active interest in foreign affairs than his predecessor. At the same time, Jakarta has given no sign that it plans to slacken its notoriously severe drug laws.

As the year comes to a quiet close, Tampa residents can look forward to a spell of agreeable weather conditions. According to NWS Tampa FL , today's skies will remain sunny, with daytime highs inching towards a temperate 68 degrees, officials last updated the forecast at 11:53 a.m. EST. While the humidity stands at 52%, the wind continues to blow from the north at a mild 18 mph, rendering a wind chill factor that could make it feel closer to 44 degrees. Tonight's prospects appear mostly clear with a drop to a low around 50, giving nocturnal wanderers a reason to layer up. The pattern of predominant sunshine is set to carry on throughout the week, culminating in even warmer highs by next Friday, reaching up to 76 degrees. While the evenings cool considerably down to the low 50s, it comes with the reassurance of mostly clear skies, thus sparing residents from the bite of harsher winter predictions that may plague other regions of the country. Those planning ahead for the upcoming week should be heartened by the steadfast presence of Florida sun. The NWS forecast suggests that this placid weather will persist through the coming days, with daily temperatures consistently hitting the mid-60s to the low 70s, and nightly lows comfortably settling in the low to mid-40s. Whether it's for outdoor recreation or the morning commute, the steady north winds at 6 to 9 mph seem to offer gentle nudges rather than forceful shoves. As the sun claims the horizon each morning, the local populace is granted the reminder of nature's gentle cycles amid the ever-tumultuous social climate. Through Wednesday night, the serenity continues, barely dimmed by the gradual descent into the upper 40s. And with clear skies promise by Tuesday night, stargazers could hope for unimpeded cosmic views. However, it is essential for residents to remember sun protection during daylight hours, even in this time of lower UV index readings, as the National Weather Service cautions. For those seeking more detailed and up-to-date information on Tampa's weather, the National Weather Service provides regular updates and extended forecasts on its website .Most Gulf markets gain on rising oilGunmen in Haiti killed nine people in the latest spasm of violence by the Caribbean nation's powerful gangs, a community leader said Wednesday. The gangsters attacked Tuesday evening in the town of Petite-Riviere in central Haiti, Bertide Horace, a spokeswoman for a community association in the surrounding Artibonite region, told AFP. Two of the fatalities were adolescents and the attackers kidnapped an undisclosed number of people and set fire to houses, Horace said, adding: "We counted nine bodies." Video footage of the bodies circulated on social media, as the attack angered residents of the town. The assault was seen as revenge by gangsters against locals who had helped officers retake control of a police headquarters, she added. Haiti's powerful gangs control most of the capital city Port-au-Prince and commit random acts of kidnapping, rape and other extreme violence despite the deployment of a Kenyan-led force that is trying to help the outgunned local police restore some semblance of order. Over the weekend, nearly 200 people were killed in Port-au-Prince as a gang leader convinced that his son's illness stemmed from a voodoo spell attacked followers of the religion, according to an organization called the Committee for Peace and Development. The United Nations put the death toll at 184, including 127 elderly men and women. Around 5,000 people have died in the country's unrest this year, according to the United Nations. Haiti has suffered from decades of instability, but the situation escalated in February when gangs launched coordinated attacks in the capital to overthrow then-prime minister Ariel Henry. The medical charity Doctors without Borders (MSF) said Wednesday it would partially resume its activities in Port-au-Prince, less than a month after suspending its operations over threats to its staff. The United States meanwhile announced extended restrictions on US flights to Haiti, with the Federal Aviation Administration set to ban planes from operating under 10,000 feet around capital Port-au-Prince. The regulator had previously banned flights to Haiti after gangs shot at planes, but had eased restrictions on November 20. The new regulation goes into effect Thursday. jds/dw/mlm/des/jgc

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — With success comes the potential for positive turnover. Not the fire-head coach-Nathaniel Hackett-and-all-assistants type change, but the kind where other teams that are not doing so well are trying to tap into what the good teams have by hiring away assistants. The Broncos haven’t had a coordinator become hired as a head coach elsewhere since after the 2014 season, when defensive boss Jack Del Rio became the Raiders’ head coach in 2015. The team’s most notable personnel assistant who was hired away was Rick Smith, the Broncos’ director of pro personnel in 2005 who became the Houston Texans’ general manager in 2006. Here’s a look at four upstairs Broncos – three coaches and one personnel executive – who could be in line to interview for promotions with other teams once the regular season ends next month: Vance Joseph, defensive coordinator The impressive resurrection of the Denver defense will get Joseph another serious look as head coach. He’s a viable candidate in part because of his previous experience as the Broncos’ head coach in 2017-18. Even if those two seasons didn’t go well — 5-11 and 6-10 — many successful head coaches in the modern era were second timers — a list that includes Bill Belichick, Pete Carroll, Gary Kubiak, Bruce Arians, Dan Quinn, Jim Harbaugh, Mike Holmgren, Tom Coughlin and Ron Rivera. Joseph as a defensive coordinator has turned around a Denver D that was ambushed for 70 points in a game at Miami early last season to a No. 2 ranking in points allowed this year. Joseph has the type of confidence, success and experience to handle the hot seat this time around. While the Broncos would hate to lose Joseph, they would get a third-round compensatory pick in each of the 2025 and 2026 drafts should he become one of the minority head coaches hired next month. Darren Mougey, assistant GM He was hired by the John Elway and Matt Russell regime as a scouting intern in 2012 and has steadily worked his way up the personnel ladder. His experience working alongside Elway, including having an impact on the 2015 Super Bowl 50-winning roster, and with current GM George Paton should put Mougey under GM consideration in the coming weeks. Davis Webb, quarterbacks coach He’s only been an assistant coach for two years but his extensive work as a backup quarterback and helping both veteran Russell Wilson (26 TD passes, 8 interceptions in 15 games in 2023) and rookie Bo Nix (8-5, 17 TDs, 8 INTs) should put him in the league’s play-calling offensive coordinator candidate hopper. Jim Leonhard, defensive backs coach and pass game coordinator He is a candidate for both defensive coordinator and college head coach. Leonhard was on the coaching fast-track a couple years ago until Wisconsin inexplicably passed him over for full-time head coach late in 2022. Leonhard has done wonders bringing along Riley Moss as a starting cornerback this year and also has Denver’s new safety duo of Brandon Jones and P.J. Locke playing at a high level. Undrafted as a safety out of Wisconsin, Leonhard made himself a 10-year player who also understands the return game.
