#NowSpinning Heras-Casado’s new recording of Bruckner 3, 1873 version. Wow, this is a light and fleet Bruckner! Tintner is the reference here (it’s great) but I’ve always been partial to Inbal’s faster motion. H-C makes Inbal feel heavy. Refreshingly different if nothing else.
And there we have it. As long as we can claim to be “protecting the kids” consequences be damned. Who cares if we eliminate all data integrity in the process? Just because you’ve identified a genuine problem doesn’t mean all solutions are good solutions.
🚨 SUMMARY: The UK's social media ban for children from early 2027:
- "User-to-user" apps where people create, share and interact with content (e.g. TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, X, Facebook) will be banned for under-16s
- WhatsApp, Signal and YouTube Kids will be exempt
- Under-16s will also be banned from livestreaming, messaging strangers on gaming apps like Discord and using disappearing messages
- 16 and 17 year olds will face nightly social media curfews and limits on infinite scrolling with more details next month
- AI "romantic companion" chatbots will be banned for under-18s
- Adults can still access social media through age checks like facial recognition, digital IDs, passports and credit cards
