Advertisers axe corporate responsibility scheme after lawsuit from Musk’s X. This news leaves a sour taste in my mouth, as it showcases a blatant disregard for accountability and transparency by those in power. The decision to shut down a not-for-profit watchdog group that aids advertisers in identifying harmful content on a platform is a troubling indication of where priorities lie.

The repercussions of such actions are clear – alienating advertisers and driving them away from the platform.… Continue reading

As I scroll through my social media feed and come across news articles and posts discussing Elon Musk’s recent controversial statement about a potential civil war being inevitable in the UK, I can’t help but feel a sense of disbelief and frustration. The idea of a civil war is a serious and grave matter, not something to be thrown around casually by someone with as much influence as Musk.

Musk’s statement seems to align with this pattern, as it appears to be a ploy to stir up controversy and attract attention, rather than contribute positively to any meaningful discussion or solution.… Continue reading
