    79% of 16-21 year olds say technology companies should be required by law to build robust privacy safeguards into technology and platforms used by children and teenagers.

    This is another illustration of the huge divide between Big Tech and everyone else. Big Tech wants total freedom from regulation with no accountability for any damage or costs to others they cause. The general population overwhelmingly feels the opposite. Thanks to their ability to line politician’s pockets, it’s Big Tech who usually wins out.

    In Britain’s case, desperate to get a trade deal with the US, it’s been dangling the offer of even less regulation on tech & AI.
