  "account": "This week, HackerNoon's 3 Tech Polls newsletter explored how many browser tabs people typically have open at one time and the current state of the internet. The poll, which had a narrow range of options, revealed that 22% of respondents had fewer than 10 tabs open, while 21% had between 30 and 100 tabs. A significant 20% of voters admitted to having over 100 tabs open simultaneously, with 19% using multiple windows, each containing a considerable number of tabs. The final 18% of respondents had between 10 and 30 tabs open. The majority of people seem to have a habit of leaving numerous tabs open and multitasking across various projects.\n\nIn other internet news, Polymarket speculated on when the UK government might introduce a social media ban for children under 16. The community gave an 11% chance of the ban happening by December 31st, 2026, and a 47% chance before June 30th, 2027. Additionally, Kalshi sought to estimate the number of active Starlink subscribers in the third quarter of 2026, with predictions ranging from above 14 million (70% chance) to above 14.5 million (47% chance) and only a 24% chance of surpassing 15 million subscribers.",
