Oh come on, it's not like the Trump-Epstein files describe meetings with Musk, oh wait... Zuck, oh no, he's there too... hmmmm.

Because it’s easier to monitor your children’s use of the internet than to remove dumb men, hateful men, and bots from the internet?

Is it? One of those groups famously struggles to program video recorders and it ain't the kids. Teenagers can probably defeat any firewall you set up, including by gaining access to someone else's wifi or device. So let's at least try to police the perps instead of their victims.

Depends if an algorithm is going to pop that wall in front of everyone repeatedly. Ideally, pad the wall, fix the stupid algorithm, and prosecute the creators of both.

Why do you think going after the haters, taking their riches away, booting them offline and possibly imprisoning some of the worst, plus going after the operators of platform that spread hate "isn't going to do anything"? We're at the point now where there's so much hate that it'll be like shooting fish in a barrel at first.

Less than it's costing us in lives and damage not to police them!

The extent of apps promoting and amplifying this hate posting is a recent phenomenon, through the so-called algorithmic feeds. It all needs attacking.

So, a proprietary steerer, a proprietary seat post shape, two proprietary dishless derailleur wheels, a switchable rear shock and a proprietary axle.

And yet some politicians say the solution is to ban 15 year olds from social media, rather than police the platforms, algorithms and users. Please contact your representative and ask them to police the platforms, not bring in creepy ID checks.

What were the rules when he did so? Was this mere arrogance and poor taste, or was it effectively stealing from the expenses account? BBC says

there is nothing unlawful suggested in Andrew's behaviour

So this is basically just stirring and click bait. The BBC used to be better than this.

And yet some UK politicians still suggest the solution is more of the same, instead of finally fixing the insulation and so on. They hide the attempts to make people keep paying more, over and over again, under buzz phrases like "abandoning Net Zero" or "stopping the war on gas".

Take it off the money they hold in or try to transfer out of the UK, same as some other criminal enterprises. They sell ads and subs here.

Actually charge them the threatened £ millions or percentage in the online safety act that closed, exiled or scared so many small forums, perhaps?
