Lawmakers continue to try to police social media use among teens — but Meta, parent company to Facebook, Instagram, and Threads, is pushing another group of companies to do the security work. Meta is expected to announce a proposal on Nov. 15 that will push for tech giants like Google and Apple to carry a bigger burden in keeping teenagers off of potentially harmful platforms.

User: Distraction and anxiety surrounding the presidential election will keep consumer spending in check until a winner is declared. But if history is any indication, retailers could see a double-digit sales lift in November and December, as shoppers focus on the holidays and release pent-up demand. According to analysis by AlixPartners, in the 2004 and 2012 presidential election years, year-over-year sales growth slowed an average 22 percent in September and October, as compared with the prior eight months. It then bounced back an average 16 percent in November and December. While the end-of-year lift was more modest in 2012, rising 9.2 percent in the final two months, AlixPartners noted that year's holiday sales were pressured by disruptions from Hurricane Sandy, which hit the Northeast at the end of October.
