ps. it is arguable that Brianna would not likely have turned to social media for friendships and transitional support had those things been readily available in her local area.
@charlotte2153.bsky.social you want kids like Brianna off her phone? then give them a better alternative.

@charlotte2153.bsky.social they talked about everything, all day every day. She helped some of them access transition support and healthcare - a thing which your government is banning from trans youth in her country now.
They even risked contempt of court by posting her killers names before trial.

i think the most sick thing about govt going all in on Esther's phone shit after her daughter was murdered in a crime which had not nothing to do with phones
... is that I spoke to Brianna's friends. On Tiktok. They were everything to her - you want to take that away from other kids like Brianna?

Do you not think it's bizarre to have strangers on the internet decide they know better than Brianna's own loved ones on what is or isn't insulting to her memory?
I've got no time for Rosie Duffield, but she turned up at a drop-in event in Parliament and that's been the limit of her involvement.

It is so, so important to learn to understand the difference between A Gross Thing That Freaks Me Out, versus A Thing Which Causes Actual Harm In The World
because as long as you can't navigate the difference, your disgust is a lever that can be used to manipulate you

i agree british kids should be banned from reading the newspapers or watching BBCNews. It's the only way to prevent the kind of radicalization that the entire ruling class - Charlotte Nichols MP included - has experienced
And how do those children typically access the media they've been radicalised by? 🤔
Measures like this are not intended *instead of* measures to keep trans kids and adults safer, but they're not at odds with those objectives either.

This feature is so infuriating for the extra angle that Youtube is proving that they absolutely have the tech for multiple audio tracks, like a lot of people have been begging for forever; but it’s used for a purpose that I have not seen work once in a pleasing way.

Treasonous human rights laws mean special forces now can’t even murder scads of civilians in a series of bloodcurdling war crimes and lie about what they’ve done while the government covers it up, without facing a lot of impertinent questions

So, indeed, Trump can no longer bring a defamation claim in the English High Court. He apparently wants to file one in Florida, but I doubt Panorama was actually broadcast there. Proving damages seems tough in my non-expert view (coupled with higher bar for defamation of public figures in the US).

Joe makes a fair point that Trump is all about grinding nuisance claims and wearing down opponents through attritional costs, whatever the merits of the case.
But I feel like the relative flimsiness of his potential claim is not really getting a lot of air time in this furor.

I don’t know if it was broadcast in US. But that, and the actual malice threshold, are beside the point where Trump litigation is concerned. The strategy is to force defendants to fight an increasingly expensive and invasive case in the hope that they cave.

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think.

They'll have to cave. They've got to spend all their money fighting Owen Jones in court, remember? Over whether the BBC had a pro-Israel bias. A case that is DEFINITELY worth spending all their money on.

It’s not a perfect metric but if you want to get a sense of how lacking BBC coverage of the Lib Dems is:
When you search the BBC app there are more stories about Masterchef than the Lib Dems in the last 12 months.

The thing about “intentional” cheesemaking is that it has to be preceded by “unintentional” cheesemaking and then “intentional” consumption of whatever the hell that was followed by a period in which the kind of person who would do that has to convince everyone else it’s a good idea too.
