Well I suppose that if you can have 31 different genders recognised in New York then you can have some odd bugger identifying as and dressing up as a dog.  noooo:

Appointing an internet czar? While I agree with the idea of making sure that social media companies do more to protect children I have a bad feeling about this, especially the 'disinformation and fake news' aspect. I can see that being easily being adapted to include any 'problematic' content not approved by the establishment...  cussing:

best to read the actual white paper to see what and why it is proposed

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/793360/Online_Harms_White_Paper.pdf

Para 7.27 to 7.31 is the key part.  We have to do something, it's becoming quite disturbing how the 50% of populations that are below 100 IQ just take in and promote on any message they see on Arsebook etc that chimes with their preconceptions.   

And it's a consultation so you can throw your views in here https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/online-harms-white-paper
