Later, efforts to limit teen social media use are gaining momentum worldwide, but uneven enforcement is raising questions about their real impact.

Plus, private credit’s advantages are becoming vulnerabilities as some investors try to get their money out. Later, Nepal’s Gen Z protests toppled a government, and now the country’s voters are trying to turn that uprising into lasting change.
