Internet age verification proposals restrict the fundamental rights of young people to speak to each other and to access information.

Hate “The Algorithm?” RSS Is One of the Tools You’ve Been Looking For
Since at least the moment Facebook introduced (and apologized for) its News Feed, “the algorithm” has been shorthand for the ways the tech giants control what we see and when we see it.

Airlines are responding in several ways:
Cutting or suspending less profitable routes
Increasing ticket prices or adding fuel surcharges
Raising anci…
