If you care about alternative European social media, please read this article by @_elena about W Social.

Meanwhile in Spain, more misinformation & social media distortions after a fatal attack on an 11-year old.

The echoes of Southport are clear & we might conclude the Far Right's use of social media to inflame & increased tensions (prompt attacks) is following a now relatively common play book.

It become ever clearer that while social media has many advantages & uses in modern life it can no longer remain a realm of light/voluntary regulation.
