Pavel Durov claimed the mandatory age verification contained in the proposed legislation would set a precedent for tracking “EVERY user’s identity, eroding anonymity and opening doors to mass data collection”.

Women have been mapping the world for centuries – and now they’re speaking up for the people left out of those maps Women have moved from mapmakers using their bodies to depict maps to being leaders shaping the field of cartography.

Women known as the “Military Mapping Maidens” produced tens of thousands of topographic maps during World War II, while men fought overseas. Yet their work remained largely uncredited until recently, explains a specialist in geographic information systems.

As great powers abandon rules and values for their own interests, middle powers like Canada have a choice: compete with each other for favour or act together with impact.

Even in 1990, Spain’s families were dishing up Nutella on sliced white and sugary cereals for kid’s breakfasts.

I don’t recognise this Mediterranean diet.

Spain’s PM, Pedro Sánchez, says social media is a failed state where laws are ignored and crimes are tolerated.

This is true.

Elon Musk responded thus: ‘Dirty Sánchez is a tyrant and a traitor to the people of Spain. Sánchez is the true fascist totalitarian.’

This is untrue.
