@ecosia what made you decide on an opt out approach rather than explicitly opting in to AI tools?

Fantastic reporting and a really interesting read from Tech Cabal on how kidnappers manage to avoid detection even though they use phones for so much of what they do. https://techcabal.com/2026/07/08/...

Really love the format of the TechCabal daily newsletter, which summarises the news, gives a 'explain like I'm new' overview, then shortly explains the good and bad outcomes. Really brilli...

If I ever see one of these, I will not hestitate to kick it straight into the road. Pavements are for pedestrians. (and also delivery robots are stupid; give the jobs to humans and pay them properly)....

@anon_opin Depends on what you feel an interview should be. For entertainment, I can see where you're coming from. But if you want to learn more about the person or their thoughts, even on tricky ...

@GossiTheDog Also, I know this story was about Grok, but still, Twitter/Grok/xAI is a platform full of hate, bots and misinformation, no matter which part of it you look at.

@GossiTheDog Some reports I've read say that Pinterest has more MAU than Twitter, and yet politicians are totally obsessed with the idea that Twitter is somehow essential. Was just looking at toda...

@louisa555 @davidallengreen That probably is the rationale, but you can have group chats and join public channels which sounds a lot like SM, but then what really is social media? Would probably have ...

@fight I don't think any business should be using facial recognition services, but especially not those serving the queer community. Indefensible, which is presumably why none of those contacted f...

@fesshole seperate guest network on your router would have solved this without scamming your neighbours. Also don't know why you didn't just say they can access the cafe Wi-Fi for free?

@spzb @davidallengreen I'm sure you're probably right. But it's interesting that they're already ruled out 'messaging apps' and I look forward to the comms around this going in...

@davidallengreen I'm interested for when the UK gov publishes an actual list of what is/isn't included. They've already noted WhatsApp and 'messaging services' wouldn't be — so...

@anon_opin Or maybe you just don't have conviction in your beliefs, and can't imagine a world where someone would.
