Reports of a local tsunami in Southeast Alaska’s Endicott Arm just after 5:30 AM point to a massive landslide recorded on seismic instruments. The slide is believed to have generated 1-foot waves, and officials are working to confirm the location.

We received reports this morning from the Endicott Arm area of Southeast Alaska of a local tsunami that rolled through the area just after 5:30 AM. Seismic signals large enough to be seen widely across southern Alaska confirm a significant landslide in the region at about same time. We are working with other agencies and colleagues to understand the full sequence of events, but at this point, all evidence suggests that this set of 1-foot high waves was set in motion by a landslide of several tens of millions of cubic meters of rock striking the water. We are working to confirm the exact location.

Here's more on YT's AI age verification:

YouTube will start using AI to guess your age. If it’s wrong, you’ll have to prove it

By Clare Duffy, CNN Aug 13, 2025



New York (CNN) — YouTube will begin guessing users’ ages using artificial intelligence on Wednesday, as part of an effort to prevent kids from accessing inappropriate content online.

It’s part of a broader push to make social media safer for young people, but some users are already worried about what it will mean for their privacy and experience on the platform.

The technology is designed to determine whether a viewer is an adult or a minor based on their activity on the platform — regardless of the birthdate they submitted when they signed up. The tool is being tested with a limited number of US users for now, but it’s expected to be rolled out more widely in the coming months.

If the tool identifies a user as a minor, YouTube will automatically apply its existing teen safety measures to their account. That includes restrictions on certain kinds of sensitive content, such as violent or sexually suggestive videos. Adult users incorrectly identified as minors will have to upload a government ID, credit card or a selfie to prove their age.

Some YouTube users are already fretting about getting incorrectly flagged by the technology, and privacy experts have raised concerns about adults handing over sensitive personal information to verify their age.

Here’s what we know about the new system.

How will YouTube’s AI age verification work?

The system relies on signals such as the types of videos a user searches for and watches, and how long their account has been active, to determine whether they are under the age of 18.

Users identified by the AI as minors will automatically be opted-in to the platform’s teen safety measures, including restrictions on certain kinds of content, adjusted recommendations, prohibitions on repetitive viewing of certain types of content, “take a break” reminders and disabled personalized advertising.

YouTube’s new AI age verification system will work only for logged-in users, so young people could still get around some of the safety measures by accessing the site without an account. However, signed-out users can’t access age-restricted content.

Why is YouTube doing this?

YouTube and other social media platforms are cracking down on age verification measures after facing criticism that teens could circumvent their safeguards by signing up with a fake birthdate. Those concerns come amid broader scrutiny from parents and lawmakers who have long worried such sites harm kids’ safety and mental health.

Meta last year said it would similarly use AI to identify when teen users lie about their age on Instagram so that it could apply expanded youth safety protections. And TikTok uses the technology to detect users who may be under 13 years old, the minimum age to be on the platform.

Several other online platforms — including Reddit and Discord — have also started verifying some users’ ages because of new rules under the UK’s Online Safety Act. The law’s child safety provisions went into effect last month.

YouTube said its AI age verification system has shown promise in other countries prior to Wednesday’s US rollout.

Why are some users worried?

Some YouTube users are already up in arms over the idea of having to hand over a credit card, ID or selfie (in other words, biometric data) to keep using the adult version of YouTube if they’re incorrectly flagged as a teen. Some have shared their frustrations on X and Reddit with the hashtag #boycottyoutube.

Suzanne Bernstein, a lawyer for the nonprofit research group Electronic Privacy Information Center, raised concerns about how YouTube will manage that data in an interview with tech news site Ars Technica. “Discomfort with certain appeals processes which require providing really sensitive personal information is totally understandable,” she said.

YouTube did not immediately respond to CNN’s request for comment about those privacy concerns, but the platform told Ars Technica that it will not retain data from users’ IDs or credit cards to use for advertising purposes.

Love anything disgracing Gavin Newscum. Embeded InfoWars article:

Gov. Newsom Seethes as Border Patrol Agents Crash Presser, Arrest Illegals

"We’re here making Los Angeles a safer place since we don't have politicians who will do that, we do it ourselves," Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino told reporters.



Gov. Gavin Newsom seethed Thursday as Border Patrol agents staged a show of force outside his Los Angeles redistricting press conference, arresting illegal aliens and telling reporters they would keep Californians safe if he wouldn’t.

Footage shows the federal agents with a short brown man in handcuffs outside the Japanese American National Museum, where Newsom was holding an event in support of a new congressional map that would give Democrats more U.S. House seats to counter Texas’ redistricting effort.

“We’re here making Los Angeles a safer place since we don’t have politicians who will do that, we do it ourselves,” Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino later told reporters.

When asked if he knew Gov. Newsom was delivering a speech nearby, Chief Bovino said he was unaware.

Meanwhile, Gov. Newsom seethed inside his presser, saying, “Donald Trump and his minions Tom Homan, tough guy, totally decided coincidentally or not that this was a location to advance ICE arrests.”

Simply making an observation and not a judgement; most-- if not all--of the responses to this thread point to dangers, threats and disasters.

Why is this the sole focus of "breaking news"? Yes, we can prepare if threatened and be more informed, but surely it primes the mind for a constant negative glass half empty outlook. MSM is pretty good at this already.

Agreed lunaflare, though I thought my last contribution was a bit more positive and humorous. It's definitely the m.o. of the msm to broadcast the negative in an effort to continually beat the public into a sense of defeat and hopelessness. Imho, it'll probably remain that way until we definitively defeat the NWO and their long planned social credit score/15 minute city/digital id world. But I'm with ya, bring on the positive, at least for a sense of balance.

When windows stopped supporting Win 7 they made some update on my PC that made it unusable . I had chosen the option from settings that no updates can be made without my permission but they updated it anyway. After that windows drivers and motherboard drivers didnt get along and hard drive where operation system was installed somehow had large corrupted sector that never existed before and PC just kept on crashing on random times , sometimes while booting it up .
So i wouldnt be surprised if the story below is true . Right now using Win 10 , it keeps offering to change to 11 but i will try to avoid that as long as possible.
3 months later or so when they stopped supporting Win 7 covid lockdowns started to roll in , why i remember it so well.

(Trump has done some very good things and some very bad things. It's best to remember he is a player, and in his 80s now, really pushing that curve. And if Vance is next in line, best to remember his alliance with Peter Thiel and Palantir. )

For me... this is a big news... what Trump is thinking??? Unbelievable... he also sanctioned Slovenian Judge in ICC... regarding B Netanyahu crimes against humanity...

U.S. sanctions Canadian judge on International Criminal Court

Kimberly Prost, a Canadian judge on the International Criminal Court, has been slapped with sanctions by the Trump administration for ruling to authorize the ICC's investigation into alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity by U.S. personnel in Afghanistan. The sanctions come as the U.S. State Department unleashes a new wave of restrictions against judges it said were instrumental in efforts to prosecute Americans and Israelis.
