Kellie Harrington is entitled to her opinion on immigration & diversity, however Spar Ireland has a responsibility to communities across Ireland to clarify and demonstrate that it’s opinions and attitudes are very different to its ambassador.
The Medium Matters 🙏 Analysis of 170,000 young europeans finds that they are more likely to absorb information from printed books rather than screens - even though they have grown up surrounded by iPads and smartphones

Has to stop‼️ We cannot tolerate professional or academic targeting of the vulnerable online - there is simply too much of it.
Flippant comments can be very hurtful.
Vicky pls do come back to Twitter - you have an army of fans all rooting for you 🙌🙌
Finally consequences for trolling ‼️
Victims felt like they were "under surveillance" - abusive messages often arrived after they had written an article or appeared on television/radio.
I know that feeling 😳

From my Hong Kong hotel window, giant shipping containers as far as the eye can see (!) this now exemplifies our species, excessive consumption, depletion of natural resources, polluting & transporting endless junk across the oceans - stuff that most of us do not want, or need 🙁

‼️ SCREEN FREE UNTIL THREE ‼️ I have argued this for over a decade and now study supports evidence of harm. Not opinion, not manipulation of stats, not misguided screen-time libertarianism - just hard science.

This is what back to school looks like for Korean children 👇
Not sure if any country is factoring in the long term developmental impact of social distancing practices in this impressionable & psychologically vulnerable age group?
“As far as I’m aware she does not have any degree in economics.”
“I was and I remain a professor of economics.”
This is what happened when a Brexit Party MEP questioned the expertise of Green MEP Molly Scott Cato over post-Brexit trade.

@Netflix
‼️ This image is NOT simply "inappropriate artwork"
‼️ For those of us who work frontline in child protection - hypersexualization of KIDS is problematic
‼️ Normalisation & socialisation of deviant interest in minors is NOT entertainment
#Notcute
#OnlineHarms
We're deeply sorry for the inappropriate artwork that we used for Mignonnes/Cuties. It was not OK, nor was it representative of this French film which won an award at Sundance. We’ve now updated the pictures and description.
Social media firms will have to introduce compulsory age checks using official ID such as passports or biometrics like fingerprints under proposals by the children’s commissioner.
Very pleased that

is stepping up in Cyberspace. Big result for those of us who have been longterm child protection campaigners - given recent news cycle lets hope its not a PR response to a very important issue.
New study! Higher levels of screen time in children aged 24 & 36 months associated with poor performance on a screening measure assessing achievement of development milestones. NB issues with memory, attention and language skills
