- Abolish Eton - Labour groups aim to strip elite schools of privileges - I didn't know such a movement existed, I can see how elite schools could be problematic to building a cohesive society, on the other hand they would probably push the general education standard to be quite high
- Instagram introduces some interesting anti-bullying features - Generally speaking I don't like hellbanning type features, where someone is banned but they are not told about it, but this seems to be a little different, it applies only to comments on posts and is contolled by the original poster of the post, so it's a bit like a partial hellban, I'm curious to see how it will playout, presumably the bullied will be happier, I wonder what would happen in an extreme case where a so called bully is restricted by all the people that he/she follows, there will be an almighty integrity problem between digital space and RL space which depending on the situation at some stage might need to be resolved in some way
