“Even in the States, at state level, there’s effective legislation.” People are “waking up to” the need of regulation online, say @AdeleWalton121 and Ian Russell as they call for more ambitious legislation to tackle the “unsafe design of social media.” @JonDHarvey | #TimesRadio

For those on the Right, free speech means the freedom to spread misinformation, fear, and hatred without being held to account. Read @adelewalton121 on the UK Online Safety Act.

The UK Online Safety Act aims to protect people online. Could the legislation reinstate the principles of free speech and preserve democratic debate?

Lots of people talk about defeating the far-right but few are willing to do the hard graft of community organising. Sitting down with people you disagree with, dismantling racist narratives and winning people over. We need more nuance and less name-calling.

Stop AI ‘companions’ destroying young lives ChatGPT helped Adam Raine write a suicide note. I lost my sister to a website. Ofcom must curb the use of chatbots. @adelewalton121 https://t.co/dpME5bRMHC

I wrote about my thoughts on Instagram’s repost feature. It’s a smart and sinister move to keep us hooked at a time when posting on social media platforms feels too icky. https://t.co/txjGHtnMho

When the police are done arresting Quaker pensioners, maybe they could look into Britain’s pyromaniac property developers?

While we wait for action, more young lives are at risk.  Ofcom must speed up its investigation into the site and act quickly to ensure it is permanently blocked in the UK. @adelewalton121 calls for action against forum involved in 99 UK deaths. https://t.co/Ba4v9cPTKC
