新年早々、嘔吐と下痢に襲われて三日程休んでいたので日記が書けなかったが、今日から再開しようと思う。今日学んだことだがサイコロを振るというのは英語でroll a diceっていうらしい。動詞がrollなのが面白くない？
それはさておき、今日は火曜日なのでニュース記事を読んで読みとくっていう事を初めてやってみる。グーグルニュースのローカル欄はBC州近辺のお得情報や魅力的なスポットなどを紹介してるほのぼのとした記事が集まっているので時間に余裕がある時は読みたい。だが、このトピックで扱うニュースは世界情勢が分かる記事にしたいと思う。
色んなウェブサイトをネットサーフィンして見て回ったけど、あまり面白くないトピックばっかりでようやく面白そうな記事を見つけた。これがそのニューズのURL

However, I will choose a news which shows situation around the wrokd of today.I surfed and looked around various websites, but found only not so interesting topics and finally found an article that looked interesting. This is the URL of the news.

I haven't been able to write in this diary for the past three days due to feeling unwell, experiencing vomiting, and stomach aches. However, I plan to resume it today. I recently learned that in English, the expression for "サイコロを振る" is "roll a dice." Isn't it interesting that the verb is roll?
Putting that aside, since today is Tuesday, I decided to start reading and writing about current news. When I have some free time, I prefer reading the local section on Google News, as it offers heartwarming articles about tempting spots and great deals in and around British Columbia. However, for this entry, I aim to discuss global news topics. After browsing numerous websites and engaging in online searches, I struggled to find compelling topics. Eventually, I came across an interesting news article. Here is the URL:

Meta to hide posts about suicide, eating disorders from teens’ Instagram and Facebook feeds
Meta said Tuesday it will start hiding inappropriate content from teenagers’ accounts on Instagram and Facebook, including posts about suicide, self-harm and eating disorders.
The social media giant based in Menlo Park, California, said in a blog post that while it already aims not to recommend such “age-inappropriate” material to teens, now it also won’t show it in their feeds, even if it is shared by an account they follow.
“We want teens to have safe, age-appropriate experiences on our apps,” Meta said.
Teen users — provided they did not lie about their age when they signed up for Instagram or Facebook — will also see their accounts placed on the most restrictive settings on the platforms, and they will be blocked from searching for terms that might be harmful.
“Take the example of someone posting about their ongoing struggle with thoughts of self-harm. This is an important story, and can help destigmatize these issues, but it’s a complex topic and isn’t necessarily suitable for all young people,” Meta said. “Now, we’ll start to remove this type of content from teens’ experiences on Instagram and Facebook, as well as other types of age-inappropriate content.”
Meta’s announcement comes as the company faces lawsuits from dozens of U.S. states that accuse it of harming young people and contributing to the youth mental health crisis by knowingly and deliberately designing features on Instagram and Facebook that addict children to its platforms.
Critics said Meta’s moves don’t go far enough.
“Today’s announcement by Meta is yet another desperate attempt to avoid regulation and an incredible slap in the face to parents who have lost their kids to online harms on Instagram,” said Josh Golin, executive director of the children’s online advocacy group Fairplay. “If the company is capable of hiding pro-suicide and eating disorder content, why have they waited until 2024 to announce these changes?”
