It's not the ones seeking it out It's the ones stumbling on it or having algorithms surface it in their feed. You're so not seeing the point of this.

This is about 6,7,8 year olds not teens.
Are you a parent?
Who are? What?
It's not about that. The problem is kids seeing very inappropriate content.
Very.
Anyone got any salmon? #instagram #drugs
Let's see. Personally I think the above is tripe.
BBC reporter suggesting switches designed not to be able to move accidentally. So 🤷♂️
Oh the potential for fraud. Ginormous!
If you're female (?)
Right underneath the throttles. Seems nuts.
Politely, I don't think your opinion is very valid on this in that case. It's a huge huge thing. Ask any parent of school aged kids.
You could surely do it by mistake maybe? Dunno. It's amazing how central they seem to be and how easy to switch. Something that crucial should have a box over it or require a second confirmation movement.
Do you have kids?
Meta has fueled several genocides internationally and has been instrumental in the fascist takeover of the US and other countries, but besides that and maybe the way it’s making kids worldwide depressed and self-conscious, I suppose there’s no problems really
The move online broadcast the bad stuff far and wide in a way that never happened before.
Why does she have to walk along like that?
This powerful message: “I did the research and found out I was wrong.” I’m not going to say much more except please take the time to watch. Then send it around to family and friends, no matter their political persuasion. Part I
I loved these chats. Brilliant. 👏
❤️
I really don’t like that I have to sign back into the the app, give the app camera access (mandatory??), and wait 72 hours after signing in to Snapchat in order to delete my account information Truly, I’ve never seen a company violate california easy data deletion laws so much before
I'm sure she's wrong. Let's see!
So agree with this. Commercial interests have screwed the internet years ago. Sad
Maybe if the porn and social media companies had been a bit more thoughtful about safety instead of chasing profits regardless we wouldn't be here
Maybe the channel boat gangs could do offer places on the return crossing to all the non Doms 'fleeing London'.
Because Windows 11
Personally I think that's a load of bollocks
Wow. You'd think there'd be some kind of safety device to stop this happening by mistake.

Can a pilot really turn off fuel to both engines on a 787 without realising? #airindia #787
Cf The Salt Path
Zelenskyy: “Ghana is ready to finance our drone production, and we are ready to help our partners secure their borders.”
A Matt Hancock report into the future of the NHS could be tremendous.
Planing a new right wing party Gonna call it Retard
😆
I expect to be on my deathbed having this conversation.
Sadly the BBC *thinks* it does. It tries to play by the same rules. It's so stupid.
Is there a statue of Wellington we can lend them in return?
It's funny. This artefact commemorates the French conquering the British. Why isn't the Mail frothing about it?
Is the right doing any better?
I mean: "... high-stakes novels that make us feel deeply, think critically, and contend with complex moral and social questions." Really? We're selling books not changing the world.
If true, this is nuts.
To readers it's 'whatever'? To the publishing industry it's 'OMG!! horror of horrors'.
Reading up on literary #agents for pitching my first novel. I'd love to find one whose profile just says 'I'm looking for a banging read that will sell loads'. But they all say stuff like 'I'm drawn to flawed characters, ambitious storylines and sublime writing that makes me weep'.
Hilarious. Love the Mail happily admits it's busy rehashing telegraph stories
Have the Estonians done it? They're all over that kind of stuff aren't they
Sadly they can if the media wants to make it happen.
Solar plus battery now beats gas for 24/7 power in sunny cities. Farewell, fossil gas peakers? ☀️🔋
Do you think that feeling is just a product of getting old? I wonder sometimes.
The whole 'true story' memoir thing is weird. Here's another corker (great book btw) www.vanityfair.com/news/2007/01...
It's not a fiasco. The book sold bazillions. Huge success!
The one that makes me laugh is people trying to answer messages while using the running machine at the gym! I leave mine in the locker. It's great. Head space AND exercise.
Agree. Will be interesting to see what happens on other platforms too
Will be interesting to see. But the obvious way to kill meta Ai stone dead is NOT to have ads.
Sad
Yes. Netflix had a perfectly good subs model. And then they screwed it #entshitification YouTube almost unusable now. Unless you pay a crazy price to subscribe. It all sucks.
I think it's sad you just assume this tired, disgusting revenue model is the only option.
Why not a subscription model?
Chat is not advertiser supported. What makes you think it will be? I'm maybe in the minority but I hate ads so much these days I'd never use a meta product.
This post feels like something from 2010.
This is a great piece 👏
And insurance, banking - utterly shite in comparison.
Will Twitter have to do it too? I assume so
And they probably don't care.
It's amazing how competitive the mobile/cellphone market in the UK is. Huge success. Why is broadband so crap in comparison?
Ask Kool and the gang
Indonesia?
Had to happen. The ideal would be one platform for all UK free to view channels.
It's classic monopolistic behaviour. Amazon is disgusting. I don't buy anything at all from it. (But I still read print books)
Any American folks here got their $5000 cheque from DOGE yet?
Fart in your general direction!
I love taking the piss with the #instagram algo Right now it thinks I'm a Muslim woman with an unplanned pregnancy 😆😆
Just buy decent rice.
“.. traffic has dropped by only a single percentage point as a result of leaving Twitter ..” @niemanreports.org #Hellsite niemanreports.org/npr-twitter-...
Enter this aspiring new author comp! (As long as you're not white) Couldn't make that up.
It did. But Truss repealed it.
NEWS European Court of Human Rights: Russia is responsible for downing MH17 and violated human rights.
Maybe they did it on porpoise?
“The lack of any kind of advisory warning from Boeing or GE to [787] operators… in the 13 days that have followed the initial black box reading… is a key signal that a mechanical failure is not immediately suspected as the likely cause of the crash.” Stellar reporting from @jonostrower.com.
I wondered about this. 30 day deadline to provide some kind of preliminary report.
Same in UK. I was staggered by the size of our local one.
In my time at Amex we had change managers and process analysts. CPI 'continuous process improvement'
The NHS and tech adoption. (Ie it's crap) Is it about having sacked all those mid level managers who can actually drive change?
Weirdly Johnson was the only PM who really did. Remember the extra tax he introduced to 'fix social care'? Only good thing I think he did with his huge majority
Indeed.
Sure. I see that. Reeves already tweaked a few of the 5 year 'assumptions' the Tories used I think.
How?
Exactly. All the spending decisions are based on extrapolations in five years time. How the fuck does anyone know what's gonna happen in five years? It's such hocus-pocus
How do we get out of it? Is Govt that powerless it can't change the rules? MMT would suggest this is all just bunk anyway. 🤷♂️
What we have here is a political/commentary class that assumed they could scream and roar anything they wanted into existence, now encountering a hostile public saying: absolutely no way, raise taxes on the very wealthy instead. A thing the political/media class will not accept.
👍😆
Year 9 Residential - Final Reflections before we depart for Ypres
Remember when email response time was typically a couple of days? Life felt kind of less stressful then
It's a sad metaphor for our society imo.
I think of all the Tory politicians of that era I loathe him the most. Obsequious, unprincipled, entitled.
Where'd you get that simile? You should win a prize for that! 😍
You can tell an AI to use a particular style and upload examples. I can see their thinking. But would anyone buy a machine translated book? Books 'are' people. They're a lens on humanity.
Loving the Jeff Lynne doco on #bbc He is such an amazing musician www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
