A digital world fit for the next generation
For too long, tech giants have treated children as data to be mined, using addictive algorithms and harmful content to keep them scrolling. While some are calling for blanket bans, we know these are impractical and risk isolating vulnerable groups.

Britain’s nuclear deterrent depends on Trump. It’s time to change that
