“The ‘Moog 4’ anti-genocide activists who were put on trial for direct action against an arms firm supplying Israel have walked free from Birmingham Crown Court today. The jury in the trial was split and refused to convict the activists despite the prosecution claiming the decision to convict would be ‘simple’”

There’s a lot of controversy around social media age limits — and rightfully so. But six months after Australia’s youth ban, other countries are already learning lessons.

Legislation in Brazil and Canada pairs age limits with design standards, including an opt out if platforms are “safe by design.” Experimentation is the route to better policy, instead of endlessly debating while tech companies evade accountability.
