Three months ago Australia banned social media for those under 16 years of age. It is already investigating possible breaches

by

Just three months ago, Australia launched one of the most ambitious regulations that have been proposed so far on social networks and minors. The measure came into force on December 10, 2025 with a clear message: force platforms to prevent those under 16 years of age from having accounts and give families back part of the control over the digital lives of the youngest. From the first moment it was presented as a pioneering initiative, but something important was also assumed from the beginning: applying it was not going to be easy. The first doubts. The rule has already entered its most delicate phase, checking whether it is really being applied as planned. The eSafety regulator has opened the first formal review and has put platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and YouTube under scrutiny. The agency speaks of “significant concerns” and points to failures in control mechanisms. It also points out that current systems are not effectively preventing those below that threshold from continuing to open new accounts. How minors are sneaking in. The report goes beyond a general warning and focuses on very specific failures in the control systems. It has been detected that there are not enough safeguards to prevent users under the permitted age from creating new accounts, but also something more striking: some platforms allow the verification processes to be repeated until the user manages to pass them. Also in certain cases, these profiles are invited to demonstrate that they meet the age requirement even after having indicated that they do not, which shows inconsistencies in the application of controls. A problem that was already anticipated. The difficulties in applying the rule have not arisen now, they were already on the table from day one. When the law came into force, The Australian Government itself admitted that its implementation would not be perfect, and the first signs pointed in that direction. According to ABC, Some minors managed to bypass the verification systems with basic tricks, such as altering their appearance in facial controls. The outlet itself also warned that parents and older siblings could help some children get around the restrictions, an early sign that the challenge was not just in passing the law, but in making it really work. What is at stake for the platformss. The investigation opened by eSafety does not remain a diagnosis, it opens the door to possible sanctions if it is demonstrated that companies have not taken reasonable measures to prevent minors affected by the rule from having an account. Reuters points out that The fines can reach 49.5 million Australian dollars and affect the aforementioned services and platforms. The regulator has already begun collecting evidence and hopes to close at least part of its investigations by mid-year, which places technology companies in a scenario in which non-compliance is no longer just a reputational risk. The Spanish mirror. What is happening in Australia helps to put into context a debate that has also gained weight in Spain, although here it is at a different point. Peter Sánchez announced in February that The Government wants to prohibit access to social networks for minors under 16 years of age within a broader package of measures on age verification, traceability of hate and responsibility of technology managers. The key difference is that that ban has not come into force and is not being enforced. Still, the Australian case offers a useful reference to anticipate what kind of challenges may appear when such a measure moves from political announcement to actual implementation.

Australia has decided to ban social media for those under 16 years of age. The mystery is how they are going to achieve it

by

December 10 was the date marked on the Australian calendar for prohibit social networks for minors under 16 years of age. Australia becomes the first country to implement a measure of this type, although there are others that also want to do it like Denmark or France. The ban is already in force, however there are still many doubts about how the measure will be enforced and how effective it will be. What exactly does it prohibit? The Online Safety Amendment establishes 16 years as the minimum age to have a social media account. This means that minors can access networks without logging into an account, which will allow them to consult public posts on social networks, watch YouTube or read Reddit threads. Without an account, they will not be able to access personalized feeds, receive notifications or communicate with other users. Currently, the amendment includes eleven services prohibited for minors: Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, X (Twitter), Reddit, YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Threads and Lemon8. It is not ruled out that the list will change in the future. How are they going to verify the age? The million-dollar question and the one that leaves us with the biggest doubt of all. The amendment details the prohibitions, but leaves it up to the platforms to do the work of verifying the age of their users. It does not say how they should do it, it only specifies that they will not be able to do it just by asking for the DNI and they will not be able to save data related to age verification. Although they do not establish rules on how to carry it out, the Australian Government published a report in which they concluded that age verification technologies were technically viable. In the report they analyze several methods: Checking documents and identity records. Age estimation using biometrics and facial recognition. Age estimation from the user’s behavior or fingerprint. Parental control mechanisms. Image: Wikipedia The doubts about the effectiveness We have the recent case of United Kingdom when it banned porn for those under 18. They also proposed various age verification methods such as those mentioned in the Australian report. The reality has proven to be more complex and, after the blockade, there were a brutal spike in downloads of VPN serviceswhich means that many users fake their location to bypass the block. The law is made, the trap is made. Furthermore, the system is not perfect. They count in NYTimes that some teenagers have used the facial recognition option in some apps and it has incorrectly estimated their ages. And there is also the issue of privacy. Although the law says that platforms cannot collect data from the age verification process, there is no standardization in this regard and if we have learned something after decades on the internet, it is that leaks happen. What are the platforms doing? Instagram, Facebook and Threads Meta has already done his homework. On November 20, it notified users minors under 16 that their accounts on Facebook, Instagram and Threads were going to be deleted. Regarding age verification, in September 2024 already announced “accounts for teenagers”which restrict certain features, such as making the account private by default and limited messages. To detect age, since April they have been using AI tools to detect users who lie about their age. In statements to Vergea representative of Meta has assured that the regulations “isolate adolescents from online communities and information, while providing inconsistent protection in the numerous applications they use.” TikTok and Lemon8 Bytedance apps have confirmed that from its entry into force, they will deactivate the existing accounts of those users under 16 years of age and will not allow them to create new accounts. Additionally, content from underage Australian users will be hidden. Regarding facial recognition, they offer several methods such as age estimation through facial recognition, credit card authorization, and verification of official identification documents. reddit Reddit has also started suspending the accounts of those under 16, but gives them the option to download their data first. In a post on the platformthey say that age verification will be done through “a prediction system.” The platform has taken a stand against this decision and states that the law “undermines everyone’s right to freedom of expression and privacy.” YouTube YouTube communicated that as of December 10, it would begin to suspend the accounts of those under 16, although they will be able to continue watching YouTube without being logged in since the law does allow it. They do not say how the age verification will be done, what they do say is that the new law is a mistake and that it will have a counterproductive effect since, by deleting the account, the possibility for parents to control what their children see will be lost, so minors will be even more insecure. snapchat In one publication on your website, Snapchat confirms that from December 10 it will block all accounts of those under 16. They will keep the account blocked for three years and if users turn 16 during that time, they will be able to recover it using age verification. Verification will be done in three ways: connecting the app with an Australian bank account, scanning the ID document and using the age estimation through a selfie. Twitch The streaming platform will prevent users under 16 from creating an account. For this they will use their verification system through facial recognition. Existing accounts will be deactivated starting January 9. Kick In the case of Kick, as published Guardianthey will use the same age verification system that Snapchat uses. X (Twitter) Elon Musk’s social network requested last September that the entry into force of the new regulations be delayed, as published Guardian. From X they expressed “serious doubts” about the legality of the regulations. What happens if the platforms do not comply? The law does not say how they should ensure that minors create an account, but it does say the consequences … Read more

Justice condemns Meta to pay 479 million euros to Spanish media for unfair competition

by

Meta has been condemned by the Commercial Court No. 15 of Madrid to pay 479 million euros to 87 media and news agencies integrated into the Information Media Association. According to the ruling, picked up by AMIthe company is considered to have gained an unfair competitive advantage by illicitly using personal data on Facebook and Instagram for “behavioral advertising.” The resolution, dated November 19, 2025, is not final and can be appealed. We have requested comments from Meta and are awaiting a response. The origin of the case dates back to May 2018, when The General Data Protection Regulation came into force and Meta modified the legal basis for processing the personal data of its users, moving from consent to the supposed need for a contract. On December 1, 2023, the News Media Association filed the lawsuit in court. The preliminary hearing was held on November 27, 2024 and the oral hearing took place on October 1 and 2, 2025, after an economic claim of between 551 million euros. GDPR violation, not advertising violation. The resolution focuses on the way in which personal data was obtained and processed, rather than on the advertising activity itself. According to the ruling, the processing lacked a valid legal basis under the GDPR, because the contract formula does not replace informed consent. This violation is considered sufficient reason to activate article 15.1 of the Unfair Competition Law, which penalizes obtaining advantages in the market through regulatory non-compliance. The 5,281 million under analysis. During the procedure, the court notes, Meta Ireland did not provide its operating accounts in Spain, despite having been requested. Given this absence, the judge applied the rules of the burden of proof and validated the data presented by the plaintiff. Based on these elements, it estimated that, between May 25, 2018 and August 1, 2023, Meta would have earned more than 5,281 million euros with its advertising business in Spain. How compensation is calculated. To set the amount of compensation, the court used the Study on the conditions of competition in the online advertising sector in Spain prepared by the CNMC. Based on the market shares of the affected period, it was established that the income obtained by Meta through a practice contrary to the RGPD should be redistributed among competitors. The ruling considers it proven, with “reasonable plausibility,” that the digital press suffered lost profits. The ruling does not end the matter. The sentence itself admits of appeal and it will be the Provincial Court that will evaluate the arguments of both parties if the procedure continues. Until then, the case serves to place at the center the question of how privacy, commercial exploitation of data and competition should be related in the digital environment. The company has not yet expressed its position. We have requested your evaluation and are waiting to receive official comments.

Fed up with excessive luxury, social media users turn to normality: creators with everyday lives

by

A recent television controversy with the content creator @supaa97 has put on the table a series of issues that are perhaps at the opposite end of the topics we always talk about in reference to the influencers (fortunesluxuries, excesses): can content be created from absolute normality? Is that close to normalizing precariousness? And if it does, is it a problem? The Suyapa case. The controversy started, just as Suyapa says (which is his real name), when he agreed to do an interview for ‘Public Mirror’ to comment a video of your profile in which she told how she lived in a single room with her husband and son, and was classified as a “Poverty Influencer”, along with users who make videos with unboxings of government aid. Suyapa has stated that she is far from that type of content, and although it is true that she lives in very modest conditions in a single room, she earns her living by working as a cleaner and without resorting to aid, so she could not be included in a category of poverty. The appeal of normality. Suyapa makes a type of content closer to normcore (which is still a label created from top to bottom): these types of profiles share ordinary activities (from choosing simple and functional clothing to routines such as making a coffee, taking care of a pet or sharing morning tasks) moving away from the cult of luxury or drama that predominates in other digital spheres. They embrace simplicity and naturalness in both fashion and lifestyle: basic garments, discreet brands, homey environments and a staging that is not aspirational but friendly and accessible. He normcore as a label. This type of content is sometimes, as we say, a reaction to more luxurious and frivolous creators. If it arises spontaneously, because the creator does not ascend the social scale even if he wants to (as happens with Suyapa), or as a voluntary limitation, it is another question where you can talk about posture. That is to say, sometimes normcore is a false normality that arises as a reaction to luxury saturation. A more relaxed visual narrative is artificially sought, where the emotional connection is based on trust, identification and everyday honesty, but sometimes it is also a pose that seeks, paradoxically, to convey an image of coherence and credibility. What did they think it was? What ‘Espejo Público’ alluded to and where it mistakenly included @suyapaa97 was in a different type of phenomenon that we know as “pornomiseria” or “poverty porn”, which has two aspects: on the one hand, influencers on social networks that viralize acts of charity towards people in poverty to monetize these contents through likes, views and donations. One of the best known cases is that of Jimmy Dartswho with more than 12 million followers on TikTok, makes videos with homeless people, testing their honesty or proposing challenges. It is a controversial format that has a large number of ethical implications, even though influencers reward the people they portray with a large amount of money, as detailed this article. Something similar happens with amateur journalists who, under the pretext of portraying poverty and misery, create sensationalist content, a format whose origins date back to the seventies and that again has very complex moral connotations. Yonfluencers: from normality to luxury, and back again. Recentlythe rejection of social media consumers to the exaggerated and elitist display of luxury into which many have fallen influencers has made me think in how the perception we have of this type of content creators has changed. Many of them began as a daily reflection of our lives and as they earned money and followers, they distanced themselves from reality, generating a certain aversion from those who followed them for being a close and identifiable replica. That’s why content creators like Suyapa work, who have to overcome obstacles that are easy to identify with: tightening their belts to make ends meet, juggling time off from work or looking for affordable forms of leisure are some of the problems that the vast majority of people face.

While OpenAI takes all the media glory with ChatGPT, Alibaba is already taking important clients with Qwen. The latest: Airbnb

by

Alibaba has been investing in its family of open language models for quite some time.qwen‘, which are gaining increasing acceptance between developers and users. Although OpenAI takes all the media glory with ChatGPT and the rest of the services, the Chinese firm is not short and already is overtaking him with some clients. The latest example: Airbnb, which has chosen to rely mostly on Alibaba’s Qwen AI model for its automated customer service, leaving ChatGPT in a secondary role. Airbnb’s decision. Brian Chesky, co-founder and CEO of the tourist accommodation platform, explained Bloomberg this week that his company “heavily relies” on Alibaba’s Qwen model. As he admitted to the outlet, ChatGPT’s integration capabilities “are not quite ready” for Airbnb’s needs. On the other hand, Chesky assured that Qwen is “very good, fast and cheap.” It is curious, especially considering that Chesky is a personal friend of Sam Altman, head of OpenAI. How the system works. Airbnb’s customer service agent, which the company deployed to all its users Americans in English last May, is built on 13 different AI models, including those from OpenAI, Google and open source providers. However, Chesky recognized that, although they use the latest OpenAI models, “we usually don’t use them much in production because there are faster and cheaper models.” Just like point the company, the system has allowed them to cut their human workforce by 15% and claims to have saved average resolution time, going from almost three hours to just six seconds. Open source is gaining ground. Open source models, which developers can modify as they wish, are increasingly challenging closed systems like those from OpenAI. Although the company also has an open model (gpt-oss), Chinese tech companies are releasing models much faster, more cost-effectively, and open source. Joe Tsai, president of Alibaba, declared recently that the winner in AI should be determined by “who can adopt it the fastest,” not “who creates the most powerful model.” A future integration with ChatGPT in the air. Although Airbnb is awaiting the development of ChatGPT app integrations and could consider a collaboration in the future, similar to those of its competitors Booking and Expedia, the platform is not currently among the first applications available on the OpenAI chatbot. Chesky even advised to OpenAI about its new ability for third-party developers to integrate their applications into ChatGPT, a feature that the company announced this month and which he described as a “developer preview.” And now what. Airbnb plans expand its AI agent with support in Spanish and French this fall, and 56 more languages ​​next year. Meanwhile, the company claims to be betting on new social functions to foster connections between users and improve travel recommendations within the application. For Chesky, these features are “probably the most differentiated part of Airbnb.” Cover image | Unsplash (Oberon Copeland), Wikimedia In Xataka | OpenAI is no longer a startup.

If you want to get media attention, nothing like boycotting a sports competition

by

The return to Spain 2025 is living One of his most complicated years At the image level. With a transnational scope that had not been seen in a sporting event in our country, a boycott is interrupting races with pro-palestine claims, obtaining media attention that exceeds the strictly sports. The return organization affirms that it will take legal measures in a conflict that has served to put several issues on the table: the Sportwashingactivist coordination and supposed neutrality of sporting events. What is it. We are facing a coordinated campaign of protests against the participation of the Israel-Premier Tech team, motivated by Israel’s actions in Gaza and, additionally, denouncing The call Sportswashing (Use of sport to clean the international image of a country). The actions have been organized by the BDS movement (boycott, divestment and sanctions) and the solidarity network against the occupation of Palestine, together with platforms and groups from various regions of Spain and Europe. For several stages of the Vuelta, especially since its entry into Spanish territory, groups of activists They have cut the roads At the passage of the Israeli team, showing banners with messages such as “neutrality is complicity. Boicot to Israel” and Palestinian flags. These protests (almost always peaceful) have been broadcast live, where the detention of some protesteras happened in the Tamos’s counterreloj in Figueres (Girona). What reactions have been to the boycott? Mostly support: political parties such as Podemos, IU and Minister Sira Rego (Summar), have demanded the exclusion of the Israeli team and supported the legitimate right of demonstration. On the other hand, the organization of the competition has opposed the boycott firmly: its director Javier Guillén has described the interruptions to the passage of the Israel-Premier Tech team as “acts of violence” And he has announced the presentation of complaints before the police, claiming security reasons. Guillén has declared that all claims are legitimate only if they are channeled peacefully, and that it is not contemplated to expel the Israeli team, defending that it participates by “sports merits”, although they admit be aware of the “political climate” Around the team. Two cyclists have retired from the competition: The Canadian Derek Geefourth in the last turn of Italy and the Danish Jakob Fuglsang, who expressed his relief from Not having to dress the colors of Israel-Premier Tech more. European scale This boycott has become the largest sports campaign against Israel ever seen before in Europe. One of the reasons is that, due to the nature of the competition, which is not restricted to the walls of a stadium or the limits of a Ciudad, it has had follow -up in various cities of the country. The woven network between citizen platforms and international activists demonstrates the capacity of digital activism to mobilize resources, strategies and broad actions in a short time. The organizing platforms have highlighted the scope of the boycott, related to it, According to the public newspaperwith which he lived against the apartheid of South Africa, and where the boycott allowed him to Paíos will be expelled from different competitions from the Olympic Games. Sports and its global reach demonstrates an important tool for political protest. The problem of Sportwashing. Organizations are denouncing the use of Sportwashing by Israel to wash its image, a complaint that connects with the voices that They heard against the participation of the country in Eurovision for similar reasons. It should be remembered that after the invasion of Ukraine, Russia was expelled from the returnwhat makes you think for boycott promoters in a double standard in favor of Isarl. The impossible sports neutrality. Although the organization of the Vuelta defends the presence of Israel, taking into account strictly sports criteria, the promoters argue that Sport is an intrinsically political space and that the alleged neutrality only serves to perpetuate injustices. In sports media and In social networksthe debate is on the table: the limits of the protest in sporting events, the role of sponsors and the Ethical responsibility of sports institutions These are issues that, at least, this boycott has served to introduce sports discussion, which is undoubtedly extremely healthy.

There are accusations of threats and blackmail to specialized media

by

Nvidia launched its new RTX 5060 graphics cards on May 19, ”he had presented A month before-. On paper the proposal was interesting: despite being more modest, they have the DLSS 4 technology And they are the most affordable of the family. If your budget is adjusted, they could be an interesting option. But to be sure, the ideal is to wait for specialized media to analyze these cards and throw their conclusions. And that was the beginning of a launch as controversial as disastrous. Oh, what coincidence. Curiously, Nvidia chose that day as a release date knowing that most experts would be in the most important event of the year for this sector: the Computex fair in Taiwan. That was much more difficult for these analysts to properly analyze the product if the company sent them the evaluation samples. Something that, by the way, did not happen, as they explained a month ago On the Linus Tech Tips YouTube channelone of the best known in this area. No controllers. As they point out In The Vergeeven if the experts had had cards before the event, Nvidia had the perfect way to prevent their analysis from May 19. The company would only have to refuse to provide the controllers (drivers) of the graphics, without which they do not work perfectly, especially when playing. You can pass the tests, but only the ones we tell you. Not happy with that, in Nvidia they sent some RTX 5060 to some media and provided them with preliminary controllers. But they did it with one condition: they could only try five concrete games at 1080p resolution, with other specific parameters and only comparing them with two other graphs (3060 and 2050 Super) so that the 5060 was winning. And threats. In The Verge they highlight how in some cases Nvidia threatened to veto access to future releases if they did not make unequal comparisons in which the AI ​​that gives access to multi frame generation technology (MFG) was activated in the 5060 but not available in its competitors so that the difference was even more remarkable. War with YouTubers. Nvidia even decided to threaten Gamersnexus to cut future access to her releases. We are talking about one of the best known and most known YouTube channels in the world in the field of hardware analysis for PC, and that has precisely become famous for report This type of situations In the past. Steve Burke, its creator, explained in a recent video how communication with those responsible for Nvidia was. He even recorded the conversation and commented on the video “Nvidia, I am prepared to publish it (the audio)” if necessary. A terrible situation. Companies have perfect right not to send their products evaluation samples and launch them directly to the market, but this way of trying to control the narrative and the message is clearly worrying. The media will end up having the same access to him as the rest of the users, but the risk here is reputational: if Nvidia does not send the cards to the analysts and is doing this type of movements, it is because the graphs are probably not as interesting as they try to see. And if that happens, the company ends up taking a reputational blow that is added to that of the entire RTX 5000 family, which is a modest generational leap – we saw it With our analysis of the RTX 5080 and 5090– Except in the event that we can take advantage of DLSS4 technology, which is not always possible. The worst thing is that they probably do not compensate. Since then, independent analysis has appeared. The data of Techspot They reveal that this card is essential Of course the Imminent AMD RX 9060 XT that will be launched in June. Nvidia must reconsider. The gamer market has long since seems to be in the background for the companywhich has become One of the most valuable of the world thanks to its ia chips. The problem is not that your Gamers disappointment graphics cards are that they try to hide or disguise reality with this type of measurement. It is worrying for a company with such resources and potential, and that makes its current domain of this market in danger. AMD offers increasingly striking alternativese Intel seems to have been right With their proposals, even if they are dedicated to less ambitious gamers. What does Nvidia say. In Xataka we have contacted those responsible for the company. We will update this topic if we receive data and clarifications from it.

Media Spain has gone crazy with the question of whether olives fattening or not. But its biggest problem is not calories

by

“Do olives fattening?” In recent days, this question has run like gunpowder online and should not surprise us. It is one of those things that becomes viral from time to time: it is a typical case of very common product at the gastronomic level, but deeply unknown at the nutritional level. Let’s see what the science of olives and the rest of the pickles say. An urban myth. As the nutritionist Pablo Ojeda pointed out a few days ago, the idea that “the olives fattening” is close to the urban myth. And not only because, in short, food does not fattening or thinning for themselves (that is something that has to do with the general caloric deficit and not a specific product). It is an urban myth because it arises from a truth: that, According to the Spanish Food Composition Database92% of the energy provided by an olive It is fat. It is the nutrient that they contribute most with a lot of distance on carbohydrates or proteins. And that (even if that fat is “good”) destroys the nutritional profile of any product. However, if we look at other parameters we will see that, for example, the caloric density of these products is not very high. That is, you have to eat many olives so that that contribution is really noticed. Is the same thing with the rest of the pickles? In fact, olives are surely the most caloric pickles. In general, these types of products have very few calories. Classic pepinillos have about 12 calories per 100 grams, onions about 30. In comparison, it is true that olives have a greater caloric contribution: 120 green and up to 289 blacks. The real problem is salt. Because seen that, it may seem that pipinillos are a nutritional jewel. And, although they do not have many calories, what is certain is that they are very uploaded. To get an idea, WHO advises that salt consumption Do not exceed 5 grams a day. Well, only pipinillos are 2.3 grams per 100. In a context in which salt consumption does not cease to rise (promoted, above all, by the ultra -processed), care must be taken because it is a very important risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. And the probiotics? Here is some confusion because, although it is one of the fashion themes, still We know very little about the microbiota of our digestive system. On the one hand, yes: there are traditional products that are fermented in brine and, indeed, these They can have microorganisms to help us with the microbiota (although either much). However, “pickles” comes to mean ‘conserving in vinegar’ and in that environment it is difficult for interesting probiotics to remain. Most of what is sold in the market, in fact, has none. Beyond, this is, we must remember that the evidence that sustains probiotics is still scarce. It is not worth obsessing with them because, in most times, Its impact on health is zero. What matters As we often rememberIt is wanting to eat better. Everything else is literature.

8,000 years ago a group of farmers crossed the Aegean Sea. Its trail can still be seen in the DNA in Media Europe

by

A little before 7,000 before Christ, the western hunters-gatherers and the center of the Anatolia They started cultivating. It seems likely and unimportant. But that little change ended up causing a deep social, economic and demographic reorganization of the entire European continent. And it is not an exaggeration. It was so strong that even today we can see her on the maps. PH2TER What are we talking about? Between 6,000 and 4,000 before Christ, those Neolithic Farmers of Anatolia They began to move beyond the Aegean And, progressively, they took agriculture to Europe and North Africa. They thus became the ancestral genetic component of this whole area of ​​the world. Subsequently, the arrival of the shepherds of the western steppe (the known as Yamnaya culture) He finished configuring the basic genetics of the historical peoples of Europe, but the strength of the legacy of the anatolian farmers remained very strong. Above all, in the south of the continent. How can this know? Taking into account that the databases are even more incomplete than we would like and, therefore, there is always enough speculative content, a map can be built by comparing historical and contemporary samples. On the map, you can see a spectrum in which blue represents populations with greater “genetic distance“With the neolithic anatolic farmers and the red the slightest distance. And, to tell the truth, it has enough surprises. Detlef Gronenborn, Barbara Horejs, Börner, Obe Who is who (genetically speaking)? As usually explained, in the European countries of the Mediterranean there is a greater genetic closeness with the first European farmers. Specifically, Greece and Italy are the sites with the greatest closeness. Sardinia, of which we already knew that They were a very unique genetic populationit seems that the palm is taken. As a curiosity, it seems that current anatolia is not so great. Paleogenetics for beginners. All this is still a curiosity of an amateur forum (one that presumably has serious reliability problems as we approach detail). However, it is a good example of the enormous depth that genetic studies give us to understand the intrahistory of humanity. As we said Half decade ago“Paleogenetic techniques are like Galileo’s telescope: they let us see where we could not until now, but we need to accumulate evidence, works and studies to know what is true and what is a mirage.” As happened with carbon-14 techniques (it took almost 40 years to be reliable to one hundred percent), we are about to see how the past changes.

“They defamed me in the media”: Martín Anselmi breaks the silence and details his departure from Cruz Azul

by

After a controversy that lasted several days, Martin Anselmi was finally announced as the new coach of the Porto. It was through social media that the club reported on the hiring of the Argentine coach. In his presentation speech this Monday from the Do Dragao Stadium, Anselmi He broke his silence on the entire controversy and directly attacked his former team. The 39-year-old coach accused Blue Cross of having lied and defamed in the media. The president of FC Porto, André Villas Boas (L), presents Martin Anselmi as the new coach of FC Porto during the presentation ceremony at the club’s museum in Porto, Portugal, today, January 27, 2025. EFE/ EPA/FERNANDO VELVET Anselmi He also assured that the negotiation with Porto was always known first hand by Blue Cross. According to the Argentine, once the agreement with the Portuguese was closed, they decided to back down and deny him departure. “Nothing that has been said these days reflects the truth, do not buy what they are selling you, they know how they operate and they know it better than me. I made a decision which I considered the best for me and my professional growth. I assume it and take charge, I was the one who took it, but I did it head-on with total transparency towards the club and its leaders without any hesitation,” he began. “They made me a promise that they would let me out. They negotiated, reached an agreement and accepted a proposal from the Porto Football Club. However, when everything was ready to be formalized, they changed the rules of the game, defamed me and dirty me through the media,” he explained. Even Anselmi He revealed that he made a request to the leadership of the ‘Cement Machine’ to organize a press conference to serve as a farewell, but he was not allowed. Likewise, the South American explained that initially his family was going to stay in Mexicobut the situation became so tense that they had to change plans. “Blue Cross You know that I requested a press conference to say goodbye to the fans in Mexicoin the same place where it all began, was not granted.
