My first blog post! I've thought for a while device-led age restrictions are the best solution for kids and parents, without requiring adults to upload their ID to third-party sites. Let me know what you think. #SocialMediaBan #SocialMedia #UK #KierStarmer #Privacy #Ethics #Technology

Beeper — All your chats in one app. Yes, really.
A single app to chat on WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram and 11 other chat networks. You can search, snooze, or archive messages. And with a unified inbox, you’ll never miss a message again.
