I hope other parties will support this common sense measure!

And fair play to the Hope and Courage Collective for the great work that they have been doing on this issue!

My article on @TheJournal goes into more detail on the harms that these toxic algorithms cause: https://www.thejournal.ie/prev/6901718/dvOJnni9c66MA/

Opinion: Banning under-16s from social media is a half-measure. We should ban toxic algorithms

I'm really happy to see political parties beginning to take toxic algorithms seriously!

We must force private, for-profit social media companies to turn off their recommender systems *for everyone* for good - so we can once again regain freedom to choose what we see online, like we had until 2014 when the doom spiral began!
