I do think we sometimes forget:
1. We need high-skilled migrants to keep the NHS working, and to grow the economy
2. High-skilled migrants have a *lot* of choices over where to go
And
3. We’ve been getting less attractive as a destination for years anyway (wages here famously suck)

Instagram’s teen safety features are flawed, researchers say
Numerous safety features that Meta has said it has implemented to protect young users on Instagram over the years do not work well or, in some cases, don't exist, according to a report from child-safety advocacy groups that was corroborated by researchers at Northeastern University.

Here's what the new co-owner of TikTok US and existing co-owner of the Tony Blair Institute (the 'let's do digital ID' guys) had to say this time last year.
This is who's dictating and planning to profit from mandatory government digital ID, starting with immigrants and expanding to everyone else.
