Meta faces pressure over ‘sensual' chatbots
Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, has long faced scrutiny over the impact of its social media platforms on children. As the company has expanded into artificial intelligence (AI) alongside the rest of the tech industry, it is grappling with both familiar and new, distinct problems. In an internal policy document obtained by Reuters, Meta featured examples of acceptable conversations between its AI chatbot and children. It suggested they could engage in 'conversations that are romantic or sensual' and describe them 'in terms that evidence their attractiveness' — examples Meta said were erroneous and have since been removed. Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) slammed the tech giant Thursday, suggesting the revelations were 'grounds for an immediate congressional investigation.' He followed up with a letter to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Friday, saying the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Counterterrorism was opening a probe into the company's generative AI products. 'It's unacceptable that these policies were advanced in the first place,' Hawley wrote. 'Meta must immediately preserve all relevant records and produce responsive documents so Congress can investigate these troubling practices.' Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.), who has long championed the Kids Online Safety Act, pointed to the revelations as underscoring the need for such legislation. A spokesperson said the senator supports an investigation into the company. 'When it comes to protecting precious children online, Meta has failed miserably by every possible measure,' she said in a statement. 'Even worse, the company has turned a blind eye to the devastating consequences of how its platforms are designed. This report reaffirms why we need to pass the Kids Online Safety Act.' Check out a full report at next week.

Accord Announces Amendment to its Banking Facility
TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Accord Financial Corp. (TSX – ACD) today announced it has amended its senior secured revolving credit facility (the 'Credit Facility'), extending the maturity date to December 15, 2025. This amendment follows two recent short-term extensions: the first announced on July 25, 2025, and the second on August 8, 2025, which extended the maturity date to August 15, 2025. Under the new terms, the total commitment will be reduced from $260 million to $200 million. The amendment also incorporates milestones tied to potential asset sales (with net proceeds to be used to repay bank indebtedness), increases the interest rate on drawn amounts by 1.00%, and updates certain financial covenants. 'While the amendment includes higher pricing and a reduced commitment, the extension provides time for the Company to continue to actively pursue a broad range of strategic initiatives to address the Company's maturing debt obligations (totalling $217.6 million as at June 30, 2025 and coming due by January 31, 2026) and maximize shareholder value,' said Mr. Hitzig. 'These include potential divestitures of portfolio assets or business units, as well as other financing alternatives. The Company continues to work closely with its financial advisors, but there is no assurance that these initiatives will yield a successful result. While we focus on these initiatives, profitable operating performance and growth will continue to be a challenge.' The Company does not plan to provide further updates on its strategic initiatives unless material developments emerge. A Material Change Report and the amended Credit Facility agreement will be filed on SEDAR+ at About Accord Financial Corp.
