Oh wow, who’d have thunk it?
Venezuelan politicians have given their initial backing to plans to throw open the oil sector to private investors, paving the way for the return of US energy giants - a key demand of President Donald Trump.

People want to have their basic needs met.

They want to be paid a living wage.

They want to stop being nickle and dimed by powerful corporations who control so much of our lives.

They do not want Venezuela.

They do not want Greenland.

They do not want masked thugs terrorizing our communities.

Ireland won't be joining.

We believe in multilateralism under the United Nations, and any attempt to undermine that is not in our interests.

When the only other EU country to join the so-called 'Board of Peace' is the Hungarian government, you know already what is will amount to.

Can we please protect the children?

I remember being a kid and being told to go back to Africa. And that was before Trump. Kids right now have it so much worse. The cruelty is louder, more public, more sanctioned.

Shelter the little ones. No one deserves this treatment, but especially not them.

The Social Media giants need to be accountable.

Banning SM for kids under 16 simply lets those corporations off the hook and those kids who want to, will not only get round it - but do so surreptitiously and in my opinion that's far more dangerous.

Yes Frank.
They really need to up the game in taxing empty sites/spaces.
1% of site/building value after year 1
2% after year 2
5% after year 3
10% after year 4
20% OR CPO @ 60% of value after 5 years.
We have to free up the buildings/sites. No more hoarding. Use them or lose them.

No surprise that CnaM are just foam insulation for the inaction of gov.

It's worrying that this signals that this failed gov will never stand up to any US interests, even when it's blatantly harmful & illegal.

Not a great starting point with everything about to kick off with US v EU.

"However, the officials are understood to have also said any attempt to block the app may be impractical for a number of reasons, including the fact it is used for other purposes"

True - the child abuse image app is also used to promote racism.
Our entire regulatory framework has proved to be no more than a painted balsa wood front.

The AG here confirms it is illegal to generate CSAM.

We also gave CnaM the power to act on any material which was not illegal, but was offensive.

Turns out they don’t wanna.

One reason that X remains a ‘core’ news and information app is that vital utilities and public bodies treat it as a central communication tool with the public.

Gardai, buses, trains, weather alerts, airports, councils etc.

If something urgent happens, they treat X as a primary platform.
