We are banning social media access for under 16s.
These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.
I just canât let that go on anymore. So weâre giving children their childhoods back.

Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.

Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.
Four ideologies shape the Bitcoin community. Maximalists bring conviction. Capitalists bring integration. Technologists bring innovation. Fundamentalists bring preservation. Bitcoin reaches its full potential when these four forces work in harmony.
Fui al urĂłlogo esta mañana por un control de rutina. El urĂłlogo es un tipazo, un rumano que hace mucho vive y ejerce en Wiesbaden. hay mucha confianza. Le dije que soy argentino y me empezĂł a contar lo mucho que admira la mĂșsica argentina: me hablĂł de bandas de ska, de Piazzolla, de Gotan Project. Y hasta tirĂł que piensa en la Argentina como plan B "si Alemania se va al carajo".
Creo que estĂĄn pasando cosas bajo la superficie y que como naciĂłn no somos plenamente conscientes de ello.
I was testing my 14-year-old daughter today for a history exam, and we got to the topic of the Fall of the Berlin Wall. It struck me how much schools fail to teach about it.
The Wall was built to stop people from fleeing socialism into capitalism. It's taught as if East Germans, Poles, and Eastern Europeans were simply fed up with their countries, but the deeper truth is they were fleeing socialism. And look at them now. Poles moving back, thriving under capitalism, GDP per capita rising at record rates.
What blows my mind is that socialism, a system tried and failed over and over, is now being successfully promoted in places like New York City and Los Angeles. The pattern is clear: socialism is only popular among those who have never actually lived under it. The people who did are the ones who tore the Wall down.
