Cui bono?
Who benefits?
And this is the essential rule,
Follow the money.
Any other analysis enables the bigotry, hatred and now White Supremacist violence promoted and amplified by Kremlin adjacent actors.
As the famous song by Florence Reece goes,
"Which side are you on boy?
Which side are you on?"
Reece wrote the song the night her house was invaded by hired thugs looking for her trade union organiser husband during the Harlan County War during which mine owners tried to suppress the miners union.
"The issue of Social Media and under 16's is important, but it is a small part of a much wider problem.
The real damage is in the unmoderated, close to the edge of incitement, race hate driven misinformation and violent imagery of Elon Musk and his grifting, fascist adjacent, outriders."

MPs had damn well better decide this morning whose side they're really on before #PMQs at noon.
Either they back liberal democracy and the rule of law or, by continuing to mouth weasel words about 'legitimate grievances', 'two-tier policing', 'back doors' and the like, they don't.

Prof Dorothy Bishop said fellowship was ‘a contradiction of all the values’ of UK’s national academy of sciences
Now we're talking. Prospect - the union for specialist civil servants including some in comms - has just called on the Government to stop using X after its use to help coordinate far right riots in the UK:

And publishers can be held responsible for what they distribute.
Shut down X unless it complies with UK law.
