Today, @mollyroseorg urges the next Govt to commit to five transformative policies that can reset the relationship between tech firms and child safety. It’s time for a new #OnlineSafetyAct & a bold new tech accountability framework. Read here:.

Venture capitalist who funds a platform which hosted chatbots in the persona of Molly Russell and Brianna Ghey complains about free speech implications of the #OnlineSafetyAct. For context, his company has refused multiple @mollyroseorg requests to meet.

We’re banning tablets now? When kids move into gaming consoles, are they next?

(This will of course be overshadowed by his ill-advised comments about Jimmy Savile, but this sort of hyperbole is striking when much of civil society, including @mollyroseorg, have deep concerns about the effectiveness of the #OnlineSafetyAct).

‘The Wild West that children have been living in ended on my watch […] on this Government’s watch’. Quite the bold claim from @peterkyle speaking to @WilfredFrost. One to bookmark.

RT @LBC: ‘It goes against what Reform voters think.’. Online safety expert @_andyburrows hits back at Nigel Farage wanting to get rid of t….

Troubling findings from @LBC: age verification checks passed using newly created emails and dozens of sites non-compliant. Hopefully the regulator will be opening dozens of investigations this week

Peter Kyle a few weeks ago: ‘the #OnlineSafetyAct is uneven and unsatisfactory’ . Peter Kyle this morning: ‘I say to campaigners, today is the first day, please don't judge us and issue your statements before these laws have gone live.’.

By whom? Because @mollyroseorg is clear these sticking plaster measures will fail to prevent more deaths like Molly’s. Ofcom expects platforms earning tens of billions to spend £80k ‘fixing’ the algorithms that caused her death.

Interesting Govt briefing to @tamcohen on a new Code of Practice on addictive design features. However @peterkyle appears to be suggesting more largely performative measures, rather committing to the decisive fix of the #OnlineSafetyAct that civil society is urging @mollyroseorg.

RT @BBCPolitics: "The sort of content that Molly was looking at this time 8 years ago that led to her death is still available online". Onl….

RT @mollyroseorg: Ian Russell on @bbclaurak says the content Molly saw before her death is still readily available online. We are at a cru….

After months of hedging, a big moment to hear @Ofcom finally acknowledge that the #OnlineSafetyAct doesn’t fully capture AI chatbots. But it shouldn’t take @bbclaurak to get the straight answer that the regulator hasn’t wanted to give to civil society @mollyroseorg.

Tune in to @bbclaurak to hear Ian Russell on the panel at 9 @mollyroseorg.

Peter Kyle pushes back at claims he’s too fraternal with the tech bros… by rebutting the claim at a Google event. Irony is dead, @e_casalicchio

Brilliant to see this, @AngelaRayner. More than a few HR directors might now have to tackle senior level harassment & abuse rather than gaslighting by getting out the chequebook

It’s a good day to remember we’re all human beings, something that too often seems to get lost in SW1 (and for that matter beyond.).

Both Instagram and TikTok are developing smart TV apps. Are we *checks notes* banning internet-connected TVs next?.

RT @mollyroseorg: Here are some more concerns about Peter Kyle’s approach as DSIT Secretary of State to add to our growing misgivings about….
