Manipulating an AI is the job skill of the future...
The issue is whether it is a central AI in the cloud owned by foreign companies, reading everything from everybody, or a locally-installed and locally-running childrens 'nanny' AI that you, the parent, have selected and installed e.g. 'Mary Poppins' chosen from various alternatives on the free market and configured and instructed yourself. Just like anti-virus software.
It is obvious which is the better option. And if your kids can manipulate the AI nanny better than you can, you deserve your fate.

The details are important - but protecting the development of our children is vital to our future.
It's welcome to see state intervention on companies that are changing our society for the worse.
The Good Society needs to be actively built every single day.

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.

LD "Dual Identity" which may still cause probs 4 @CompassOffice strategy is set out v well in article: "The Lib Dem identity is partly built around being anti-Labour in some areas & anti-Tory in others". All things to all people in a 8%-13% space instead of a pre-2010 13%-25% one

It actually is if: Burnham just legislates it. Or, Burnham actually does a proper progressive alliance with Greens and Libs getting a free run at say 100 seats each.

Fully accept Burnham might cave into the considerable pressure from Labour donors and the Labour right to ditch #PR completely. At which point Reform will win and Greens have to become the opposition.

general election on no matter how much we all want it. We need a better strategy for forcing the government's hand on the issue than just hoping this one guy can be pushed into it

Burnham following through with anything. And again, even if he tries it'll probably be a manifesto pledge for an election the rest of his neoliberal politics and the Labour right's capture of the PLP will ensure he doesn't win.
Because be honest, PR is NOT enough to win a-

And yet his actual politics include "I'm going to slash welfare to boost defence spending, except for pensioners who I'll give tax cuts".
He's a Blairite through and through, if Starmer can ignore his own parties push for PR including conference votes, there's no guarantee on-

It’s largely because there’s a significant @Labour4PR and @CompassOffice movement Burnham has been aligned with for years. Starmer’s duplicitous one liner is not really comparable to Burnham’s whole “rewire our broken politics” platform.
