Under the new restrictions, sites that allow access to underage users could face fines of A$49.5 million (~RM135 million) when the bill comes into effect on December 10.

Reddit is introducing a new unified search interface that merges its traditional search tool with Reddit Answers, its AI-powered Q&A feature.

Reddit is one of the most popular sites on the internet, offering discussion forums covering a variety of topics, and mostly managed by the community. For 2025, Reddit is targeting a number of new things for their service, and one of them is paid access. So, what should you know about it?

New update - Google told the media that the recent video loading times aren't caused by the company but rather, due to the newest AdBlock and AdBlock Plus updates.

If you feel the video loading times are longer than usual, you're not alone. According to a few posts on Reddit (like here and there), it has been confirmed that Google/YouTube has purposely slowed down the speed, particularly if you have ad blockers turned on. 

Google today announced a couple of new features that are coming to Google Search that are sure to make our lives better online. The new features are a new module that will show relevant search results from online forums such as Reddit and Quora and the other is a new way to find translated news coverage using machine learning.

The Indonesian government has blocked several popular websites and online services in the country, most notably online gaming platforms Steam and Epic Games as well as social site Reddit. Interestingly enough, the blocking of these sites was made known by esports organisation Team Secret via a meme post on its social media pages.

Reddit has evolved by allowing users to get comments as search results for the very first time. With the update, when users search for something on the site, it is no longer restricted to the original posts, communities, and individual users.

Twitter has introduced quite some new features in recent years. However, not every one of them was able to win users' hearts. Earlier, the company announced that it had to take away Fleets, an Instagram Stories-like feature, as "it hasn't seen an increase in the number of new people joining the conversation with Fleets like it hoped." Now, the social media platform is serving something new called Communities, and it's what we've seen on its rivals.

Earlier today, Reddit recently gave an announcement on their blog stating that they’ve given a preview to a new feature called Reddit Talk that’s similar to Clubhouse. Reddit Talks will usually be hosted within subreddits where moderators can help moderate the topics being discussed.
