This week I wrote about the dead internet theory, and how the social internet has very quickly become the internet of siloed feeds and bots posing as real people - and why that matters. m.independent.ie/opinion/commen…

Today I appeared on the Brendan O’Connor show as part of the Newspaper Panel. I even managed to sneak in something about TikTok tarot card readers. You can listen back now! rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

This week I wrote about why social media vetting for USA visa applications is a big privacy breach, and why it can’t be waved away with ‘if you haha nothing to hide you have nothing to fear’. m.independent.ie/opinion/commen…

This Is How You Remember It has now been translated into Portuguese!! So excited to get my hands on a copy. Translation is such a fine art: a translator has to breakdown and completely remake something in a new language. I’m so excited for my little book to reach more readers.

This week I wrote about the new unskippable ads introduced by meta, the lengths they are going to to avoid regulation, and how we as users are paying the price (while also being the thing that generates revenue). m.independent.ie/opinion/commen…
