Meta settle $17bill to avoid admitting their products harm children- a fraction of Meta's annual revenue. Meta will make their products safer. Is it just me, or do others struggle to see where grieving families fit in this equation?
The settled US case against Meta shows child protection regulations on all platforms are “clearly possible” in the UK, says lawyer Mark Stephens.
"We wouldn't allow a car that was unsafe on the road. Why do we allow platforms that are unsafe to go through the airwaves?"

Young care leavers are estimated to be dying at three to four times the rate of other people their age. Turning 18 is a point of particular vulnerability – a "care cliff" that governments have long known about, but are yet to solve.

NEW: I can't get this story out of my head. And I know I'm not alone. The attempt to cover up the complicity of the UK media's role in Jason Arday's death may be its sickest move yet.

A very interesting 'back-building' thunderstorm developed to the west of Jersey today, which essentially stayed offshore in exactly the same place for around 3 hours or so before dissipating. This was due to the reversal of wind direction between the cloud base and cloud tops.
Large crowds have turned out in central London at a vigil for the former Cambridge University professor Jason Arday - who was found dead last week.
Almost 100,000 people have now signed a petition drawn up by the Good Law project calling for an immediate public inquiry.
They claimed his death was the direct result of the sustained press harrassment which Mr Arday was subjected to - and said racism lay at the heart of the story.
NEW: It was a digital lynching. And the media is never going to hold itself to account for the role it played in Jason Arday’s death.
But there are things we can do. This is a practical guide based on my own experience.
