16/07/24 - Morning Shot: Can laws make social media less 'addictive' for children?
Can social media addiction in children be curbed through legislation?  Well, New York recently passed a law on "addictive" social media feeds for children, but some researchers are questioning what that actually means and how effectively these laws can be implemented. The laws come on the back of growing concerns over the effects of social media on the mental health of young people. From 2025, the Stop Addictive Feeds Exploitation (SAFE) for Kids Act will require social media platforms and app stores to seek parental consent before children under 18 use apps with "addictive feeds", a groundbreaking attempt to regulate algorithmic recommendations. Meanwhile, the New York Child Data Protection Act will limit the information app providers collect about their users. On this episode of Morning Shot, Derek Bambauer, Irving Cypen Professor of Law at the University of Florida Levin College of Law shares his insights on the challenges behind the execution of the latest social media laws and how effective they will be.

15/07/24 - Morning Shot: How to speak to Grandma before "dialects" die
Have you watched “How to Make Millions Before Grandma Dies”?  That movie has certainly made its rounds around the world and in recent weeks, it also sparked a social phenomenon across Southeast Asia, with audiences flooding social media with tear jerking reactions. It tells the story of a teenage university dropout, M, who quits his game-caster gig to care for his grandma, more affectionately known as Amah, when she was diagnosed with end-stage cancer. And while the movie is primarily in Thai, grandmother Amah would occasionally speak Teochew, a language M struggled to understand. How many of you can speak your dialect fluently? On this episode of Morning Shot, Tan Ying Ying, Associate Professor for Linguistics and Multilingual Studies at the NTU School of Humanities shares her insights on why dialects are waning here in Singapore, and whether it’s important for us to revive them.  Presented by: Audrey Siek Produced & Edited by: Yeo Kai Ting (ykaiting@sph.com.sg) Photo credits: GDH 559 / Jor Kwang Films / Pat Boonnitipat
