10 June: Canada tables an under-16 social media ban age checks for everyone. Five days later, Starmer announces the same for Britain. Same policy. Same timing. Same “safety” language. Coincidence - or another piece of the global censorship agenda?

We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

Astonishing Telegraph story.

Muslims went crazy after Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this: "Radical Islam doesn’t want just a small caliphate in Iraq or Syria. They see the United States as the greatest evil on Earth and seek to dominate the entire West. Radical Islam is revolutionary, it wants endless expansion, terrorism, assassinations, and total control. They hate America, Europe, Israel, and every Muslim nation that partners with us. Orlando, Pensacola, and domestic attacks prove it. Radical Islam is a clear and imminent threat to the world." I agree with every single word he said.

Wildlife populations have declined by an average of 73% since 1970, according to the latest WWF Living Planet Report. Habitat loss, overexploitation, pollution, invasive species, and climate change are driving the decline. The most alarming fact? This happened within a single human lifetime. The future of nature is still being written. The choices we make today will shape what remains tomorrow.

Carney: Within the last year, trade between Canada and France has gone up by 10%.

Applebaum: What binds Russia, China, Iran and North Korea is not religion or ideology. China is communist, Russia nationalist, Iran theocratic. What binds them is fear of liberal language: rights, rule of law, separation of powers and independent courts. 1/

United States has launched a new wave of attacks against Iran tonight. This one, however, doesn’t even have a fig leaf pretense that it is in response to anything Iran had previously done, only that President Trump got tired of waiting for an answer that he wanted to hear. It is just a pernicious attack which breaks the cease-fire we ourselves authored. This one is worse than anything else we have done so far, because it shows the absence of any adult thought across all levels of the US government. There is no strategy here, there is no evidence that this accomplishes any larger goal, it’s just “a strike“ against Iran. Meanwhile, we can count on Iran firing back in ways that will certainly harm our interest in the region, and will push this war further and further away from a settlement. Our strike tonight may finally unleash a return to full on war, especially depending on what Iran does in retaliation. This act of using military force with no thought to what may come next, no understanding of what we even want to accomplish, nor the slightest bit of morality or responsibility, is deeply disappointing. How can the current American government have any credibility with its own people, that it is looking out for our good? That it is trying to protect our interests at home or abroad? That it is anything, except a great bully who relishes meting out death and destruction on others? That, my friend, is the world we live in today. There’s no resemblance to what our founding fathers envisioned, or what I have seen and experienced throughout most of my adult life. This kind of behavior is likely to bring the American empire crashing down on our heads. It will not end well.

BREAKING: The UK is drafting a law to scan every photo, video and message on every phone in the country. Tech CEOs who refuse to implement this could face up to 5 years in prison. The proposal would force companies to build device level scanners that inspect content before encryption. That means: • Every image scanned • Every message inspected • Every video analyzed All directly on your phone. Governments and companies pushing these safety” systems already have a terrible track record protecting user data. Last month, Europe’s new age verification app, promoted as a way to "keep children safe," was hacked in under 2 minutes. In another case, over 70,000 IDs and selfies linked to online verification systems were exposed in a major breach. Now the UK wants even deeper access directly inside your device. Once governments force surveillance tools into every phone, they can expand what gets monitored at any time.

Electricity CPI: new record high

Ending anonymity. Expanding speech bans. State-ordered takedowns. These are pillars of the Internet in China, Russia, and Iran. Increasingly, they have become features of European policy. In @ForeignAffairs, @JMchangama examines how Europe lost the plot on online speech.

BREAKING: President Trump exclusively tells @TreyYingst that the U.S. is getting close to ordering new strikes against Iranian power plants and bridges in response to “tapping the United States along” when it comes to drawn out negotiations. The U.S. launched overnight strikes against Iranian-linked targets after a U.S. Apache helicopter was downed near the Strait of Hormuz, hitting roughly 20 sites. Trump also revealing new details about the helicopter incident - saying an Iranian drone became lodged between the helicopter's two pilots as they maneuvered to avoid an explosion.
