Favourite #WorldBookDay moment ... Asked a hall full of children if any of them knew what a Dalek was ... girl RAN up to the stage and announced ... it's a small onion but strong. Cut it and you'll cry. Me: .... thinking ... Me: .. still thinking ... Finally ... ... Garlic.
Happy #WorldBookDay2026! Feel free to dress up as any character from this book... or just give side eye to the person next to you.

I was delighted to be asked to write a Letter on Liberty for @acadofideas about Risk and Responsibility. You can read it here: open.substack.com/pub/technology…
ooh, look what's in the @sciencemuseum shop!
Adapted from @TechintProblem for @signmagazine, some of data's darkest and most heroic tales:
The powerful true story of how an early computer expert thwarted Nazi efforts to pinpoint Jews. As told by @TimandraHarknes, and free to read on the website now: ow.ly/ojLk50WkXFV
Technology is STILL not the problem. Or - why I didn't need to update the book for the paperback edition: technologyisnottheproblem.substack.com/p/technology-s…
Paperback out July 3rd - pre-order now!
fascinating:
🚨 Now out in NHB 🚨 We show that following the news on WhatsApp or Instagram (N = 3,395 🇫🇷🇩🇪) increases current affairs knowledge, participants’ ability to discern true from false news stories, awareness of true news stories, as well as trust in the news.
Graham knows what's talking about...
Sometime in the next 10 days or so Ofcom are due to issue a new #OnlineSafetyAct consultation. It is likely to be the most controversial yet, wading further into the perilous waters of mandatory automated content moderation and proactive content filtering. Keep your eyes peeled.
@nialljclarke to be fair, the paperback has also fixed a couple of typos, and added a footnote about a research example that failed replication.
paperback publication July 3rd! "principled, courageous, and original" "a balanced and insightful view of how technology is changing our world" "eloquent and invigorating" “Interesting and informative but also enticing and highly addictive. ... not the internet... this book."
