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.

I took opportunity to mention this scandalous waste by Dunnes Stores at the recent Oireachtas Session on vacancy & dereliction, where @judesherry.bsky.social & me attended to make the case for urgently tackling #DerelictIreland & #VacantIreland so everyone can have a home in Ireland

They really need to up the game in taxing empty sites/spaces.

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.

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.

This. Don't use Amazon, either for delivery or streaming, cancel Netflix.
If on average every European diverted 100 euros in spending away from American products and services, that's €50 billion right there. That's gotta hurt.
I did replace my AirPods (which were ready for replacement) with Sennheiser earbuds rather than new AirPods. That's the easiest bit.
