Today, I stood before the Danish parliament on a public hearing on social media & democracy
As a researcher of online hate, I could have spent hours. But I had 10 minutes, so I had to be focused
The title was "The Myths About Social Media"
Here is what I said👇

Some very strange examples of “co-production” being discussed at the moment. If you have very limited involvement of young people and then ignore their views, you can’t call it co-production just because they were in the room.

Humza Yousaf(Cabinet Sec Justice) - "It's increasingly clear that the UK government is incapable of delivering an immigration & asylum process that reflects Scotland's values of compassion & dignity."

This is how Glaswegians respond to attempts by authorities to forcibly remove immigrants from a city renowned the world over for its warm welcome. Glasgow belongs to all of us.

Jaw-dropping. The UK Tory government is going to Court to challenge a law passed by @scotparl unanimously. And for what? To protect their ability to legislate/act in ways that breach children’s rights in Scotland. Politically catastrophic, but also morally repugnant.
UK govt is referring two Holyrood laws to @UKSupremeCourt to decide if MSPs have gone beyond the powers of the devolved parliament
The bills would incorporate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Charter of local self govt into Scots law

Worth remembering that #PrincePhilip insisted that #DukeOfEdinburghAwards were voluntary, and that there is value in young people doing things because they want to, rather than being forced to. Reminds us this is the point of #youthwork and #informaleducation.

Yes, popularity on this platform is truly indicative of worth and mettle. It’s a damn wonder you keep getting fired when actual journalism is required. Now go back some poor girl’s cellphone and call that moral midgetry reporting, you empty parasite.
