At this point, I think we have to ask whether to let kids under 16 have access to mainstream media rather than social media. Their tender, malleable brains are at risk of irreversible corruption and exposure to content that will make them lifelong bigots & a danger to themselves

We are also publishing a diary excerpt from Amu Gib, one of the prisoners on hunger strike - now on their 39th day, which is well worth a read. Thank you to Amu for sharing this very personal insight into their life. https://t.co/p9C9XuyEmE

These are the eight prisoners taking part in what is thought to be the biggest hunger strike in UK history since Irish republicans began refusing food in 1981. Tonight it has emerged that five of them have been taken to hospital. Two haven't eaten for nearly 39 days.

The government is proposing a blanket licence for AI firms to use copyrighted works. Right holders will NOT have the option to withhold their work in the training of AI. This is ludicrous. How does the government have a right over work that is bigger than the right holder's?!

Very freezing in Gaza: A population, most of whom are in tents. People need your help more than ever. The accounts I am reading are horrific. Israel has been pressed by neither the guarantors nor European countries to allow mobile homes or caravans. Utter dejection.

So the answer to allegations of corrutption in the election process is that there used to be booth capturing in the past. Right. This is like answering queries about power supply by saying there used to be candles in the past.
