@adelewalton.bsky.social has renewed calls for a public inquiry into a pro-suicide website responsible for 133 UK victims lives.

‘Don’t pander to the tech giants!’ How a youth movement for digital justice is spreading across Europe Gen Z are the first generation to have grown up with social media, they were the earliest adopters, and therefore the first to suffer its harms. Now they are fighting back

@crtl-alt-reclaimfr.bsky.social started out as a small bootcamp in Summer'24 - bringing together young people from around Europe who wanted to do something about the harm that social media was doing to young lives. Now it’s a pan-European movement, see Guardian:

Redefining Free Speech The UK Online Safety Act aims to protect people online. Could the legislation reinstate the principles of free speech and preserve democratic debate?

For those on the Right, free speech means the freedom to spread misinformation, fear, and hatred without being held to account. Read @adelewalton.bsky.social on the UK Online Safety Act.

I wrote about my thoughts on Instagram’s repost feature. It’s a smart and sinister move to keep us hooked at a time when posting on social media platforms feels too icky. loggingoffclub.substack.com/p/new-instag...

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Hands up - who misses the old internet? Guest newsletter by Michaela Makusha

YouTube says it banned Andrew Tate. So why is his face still all over their platform?

Hear from activist and book author @adelewalton.bsky.social who explains our findings.

Watch. Share. Call on YouTube to stop enabling & profiting from Andrew Tate’s extreme misogyny.

Can't wait to be in Bristol next week discussing all things Big Tech, the broligarchy and logging off with @graceblakeley.substack.com. Get your tickets here: www.bookhausbristol.com/events/#e127...

Is AI a con? A new book punctures the hype and proposes some ways to resist AI slop means faster and cheaper content, and the technical and financial logic of online platforms creates a race to the bottom.

In many ways, Bender and Hanna successfully demonstrate that AI is a con. It fails at productivity and intelligence, while the hype launders a series of transformations that harm workers, exacerbate inequality and damage the environment.

Nice write-up of The AI Con by Luke Munn @theconversation.com
