Under the pretext of banning under-16s from social media to “protect the children,” Keir Starmer has snuck in some small print that should make Americans really glad that all the tea was dumped into the Boston harbour back in 1773.
Adults will still be “allowed” to use the platforms… once they’ve handed over facial recognition, digital ID, passport, or credit card details to prove they’re not a child.
So it was never really about the kids. It was about making sure every single person who wants to speak online has to first tell the government exactly who they are.
Step 1: Link your real identity to your speech
Step 2: police have a lovely searchable database of every spicy take, meme, or complaint you’ve ever posted
Step 3: bring in the consequences - arrests, travel ban, debunking, for out-of-bounds speech
The UK is in a free fall.
There's a number that quietly updates every time the world changes its mind.
Not a poll. Not a pundit. Real money moving on what people actually believe is coming: prediction markets.
Most people have never seen it. The ones who have are seeing fragments, scattered across platforms that don't agree with each other.
PredictionHero brings it into focus. Every major market, Polymarket, Kalshi, Limitless, Predict and more, in one view. Where they agree, where they split, and how the picture moved over time.
No spin. No partisan framing. The clearest read available on what's coming.
For traders finding edges. Journalists verifying claims. Researchers tracking sentiment. Or anyone who wants an honest read the headlines don't offer.
Follow to see what the markets know.

🚨Trump just went to bat for America’s booming prediction markets and crypto industry, making it clear the CFTC must keep full control.
He slammed "scum" like Chris Christie, Letitia James, Tim Walz, and JB Pritzker, and vowed we will remain the Crypto Capital of the World under his leadership.
America First wins again! 🇺🇸
There were massive international protests over George Floyd and those police involved were severely punished with long prison sentences, yet the police responsible here did not even lose their jobs!
An incredibly unjust double-standard!
WhatsApp’s “encryption” may be the biggest consumer fraud in history — deceiving billions of users. Despite its claims, it reads users’ messages and shares them with third parties. Telegram has never done this — and never will 🤝
Casino lobby hard at work.
There is a reason tens of millions of people use regulated prediction markets: it’s a better product.
Banning just pushes this offshore, where no regulation exists.
This bill isn’t about protecting consumers; it’s about protecting monopolies.
@British_Airways Why don't you do something good, for ones and send some emails internally, call a colleague or whatever but get me the invoice. I obviously exhausted all my options otherwise I wouldn't go public with it
@British_Airways I’ve requested an invoice 5+ times since September for booking WRZBXR (phone, chat, webform, email). Case 10592602 is marked “closed”, but I never received it. Your team says another department handles it but provides no contact. Help?
@British_Airways I see some patterns here. Nobody seems to be able to help. I said I already completed the form several times but never received anything. I even provided a case number which is marked as complete but I did not receive anything. Maybe its time for somebody to take accountability?
@Revolut Maybe fix the existing app issues first though. I’m still waiting for a resolution to a balance/display problem your team acknowledged weeks ago. DM me
NEW: Nasdaq is making its first real move into prediction markets.
The exchange wants to list binary options on the Nasdaq-100 — yes/no contracts priced from $0.01 to $1 that reflect the market’s implied probability of an outcome.
