Good. Now leave that platform.
Today, we fined X for non-compliance with transparency obligations under the DSA.
We're holding X accountable for:
🔹Deceptive design of its ‘blue checkmark’
🔹Lack of transparency of its advertising repository
🔹Failure to provide access to public data for researchers

Why are the American president's claims about autism the first item on British news bulletins?
He's not our president, the advice doesn't apply here and he's not presented any evidence to support his assertions.
So why spread these claims? What make this the biggest story in the UK?

I can’t now remember what it was but I might like to use it for the sleeves (when I get to them).
