## Resource

News and Updates: • Roblox Age Tiers: Roblox is introducing ”Roblox Kids” and ”Roblox Select” tiers in June, implementing strict chat and content restrictions based on age-specific maturity labels. Roblox now requires video selfies or ID uploads for chat usage, despite concerns over biometric data privacy and the resale of verified accounts. • Netgear FCC Exemption: The FCC granted Netgear a temporary exemption from the foreign-made router ban after the Defense Department found no national security risks. • Meta Overtakes Google: Meta is projected to become the world’s top digital advertiser this year, surpassing Google with an estimated $243.46 billion in net revenue. Meta’s success is fueled by Reels and AI recommendation systems, which increased U.S. watch time by 30% and improved video-generation ad tools. • Windows 11 De-branding: Microsoft is removing ”Copilot” branding from apps like Notepad and Snipping Tool, opting for more generic labels like ”Writing Tools” and ”Advanced features.” • Netflix Price Hikes: Netflix raised monthly subscription prices for every tier by up to 12.5%, with the Premium ad-free plan now reaching a high of $27.
