The #attorneygeneral for #England and #Wales has instructed his office to stop using the #socialmedia platform #XTwitter, citing concerns about its role in inciting #violence and #racism. This decision follows recent riots in Southampton and Belfast, where far-right agitators used the platform to organise demonstrations. The move comes amid growing concerns about the impact of social media on societal divisions. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jun/18/uk-attorney-general-tells-staff-stop-using-x-disinformation-concerns?eicker.news #tech #media #news

I would like to inform @fedizen about the presence of a brand-new reality on Fediverse, in very early public access. It's called @bizzfed and it's created by a German-speaking developer @rene and it proposes to create a federated platform inspired by Linkedin. Something related to professionals.
I'm very glad to notice that this dev seems very skilled, the platform is inspired by Linkedin concept and its goal is to provide a non-algorithmic, non-advertisement guided, point where professionals can meet.

#Bluesky’s COO, Rose Wang, warns that government #socialmediaban|s for #teens could strengthen #BigTech’s dominance and hinder smaller platforms like Bluesky. While supporting youth protection, Wang emphasises the need for regulation that fosters innovation and protects smaller players. She advocates for more collaboration between regulators and smaller businesses to ensure balanced regulation. https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/06/bluesky-teen-social-media-ban-monopolies.html?eicker.news #tech #media #news
