More children must blow the whistle on harmful content online, says Ofcom in its first campaign as the incoming regulator of social media firms. Its call for children and young people to put pressure on social media firms to take down harmful material follows its research showing only a sixth lodged complaints about it. This was despite more than two thirds of those aged 13 to 24 encountering potentially harmful content that ranged from bullying, abusive behaviour and threats to scams, misinformation and trolling. It is the first move by Ofcom to get social firms to clean up their act before the Government’s online safety bill gives it the powers to start investigating all social media companies for potential breaches. Its regulatory reach currently only extends to video-sharing sites. It will have powers to fine social media firms up to 10 per cent of their global turnover and shut down services if they fail to remove harmful content. It will also be able to prosecute … [Read more...] about Children urged to blow the whistle on harmful online content

July 4: Why America celebrates Independence Day
Independence Day is a huge event in the United States and people celebrate with parades, fireworks and public gatherings.

On July 4, 1776, the US Congress adopted the declaration of independence, an act that changed the world and saw the birth of a new nation. Independence was voted for a few days earlier, on July 2, and the declaration was actually signed on August 2 in Philadelphia, where the iconic Liberty Bell still stands. It led to the transition from a British colony to one of the world’s most powerful nations, whose first president was George Washington - the name of America’s capital city right now.

Fifteen years of stagnant incomes left British families ‘brutally exposed’ to cost of living crisis
Fifteen years of stagnant incomes have left families "brutally exposed" to the cost of living crisis, a report has found. Many families have been unable to build up the savings needed to cope with growing prices this year, according to the Resolution Foundation think tank. In the 15 years leading up to the pandemic, the average income of working-age families grew by only 0.7% a year. This is far slower than in previous decades. From 1961 to 2005, typical household incomes rose by 2.3% per year on average, or 25% each decade. Advertisement More than one in four families have less than a month's worth of a financial buffer in savings and face a weak social safety net to fall back on, with basic unemployment support now down to its lowest level on record at 13% of average pay, the analysis found. The typical incomes of the poorest fifth of the population did not increase between 2005 and 2020.

Heck Yeah, Tom Cruise
Top Gun came out in the spring of 1986, a movie so big, so wall-to-wall, so resistance-is-futile that you just had to coexist with the damn thing until it finally went away. Now—like one of those flowers that comes into bloom only once every 40 years—it’s back. Apparently Paramount had been after Tom Cruise to make a sequel before the original even opened , which is no surprise. In the 1980s studio executives began to operate more like hedge-fund managers, strip-mining any possible asset in a movie by making sequel after sequel until the thing was finally taken off life support. We can blame Francis Ford Coppola for that; in the 1970s he did the stunning and unrepeatable thing of making one of the greatest American movies of all time—and then making a sequel that was even better. In the ’80s Hollywood tweaked this golden formula by making horrible movies and then a series of progressively worse sequels (unintentionally giving birth to the greatest title in movie history: Rambo: … [Read more...] about Heck Yeah, Tom Cruise
