"It's All So Tiresome": UK's Social Media Ban Trudges Ever Onward
Authored by Kit Knightly via Off-Guardian.org,
The UK government's “consultation” on social media harm is over, and – brace yourselves – it turns out they're going to have to do something about it.
I know, I was shocked too.
The main talking point is that “social media is like cigarettes”. Everyone is saying that, it's the meme of the day.
