A now-retired Phil twitter legend once said to me ‘arguments are just to give people an excuse to agree with your view. The thing that actually *motivates* them to agree is showing them how things look nice from your view’

The proposed social media ban, the EU KIDS Act, is perhaps the most chaotic law I have ever read! New paper: Are EU Kidding Me? Notes from a Poorly Drafted Social Media Ban. files.michae.lv/papers/veale_areEUkiddingme.pdf In the spirit of the proposal I have stayed offline and read no takes.
In September 2026, the European Commission published a proposed EU KIDS Act, responding to the demand for restrictions and further design obligations applying to digital services accessible to children, including social media. This Article argues that regardless of what one believes about the merits of this policy direction, the EU KIDS Act is not the legislative text we need. The scope and drafting are little short of chaotic, full of holes, enormous ambiguities, and unintended consequences. Recitals contradict articles. The use of scope borrowed from other pieces of legislation not designed for this purpose brings services into scope that should not be subject to the relevant provisions, like book-recommendation websites, music services, or exercise trackers. The infrastructural requirement for assurance of age and parental responsibility attestation simply omits enormous issues of complex families and childhoods. Complex design obligations are written in ways that can be plausibly interpreted as implicitly prohibiting entire swathes of products, such as voice assistants. This Article outlines these issues, and many more. The Commission should withdraw this proposal and reissue a workable and realistic text.

Galera, é triste, mas infelizmente ninguém votaria no Lula hoje. É um fato inegável e eu te explico o motivo: a eleição é só domingo, então hoje não teria como votar mesmo, mas domingo sim! Não esqueça de conferir o local de votação, galera, e se for usar o e-titulo, confira se está tudo ok no app.

This is good but still presents an implementation challenge because Throw polling at 60% is misleading when Take polls at 5%.

I am semi pro AI use because, in principle, it levels playing field for non native speakers. But now, while i am reading other people's drafts, in the margins, I often find myself berating claude or astra for the use of stock phrases at load-bearing points that thereby detract from closing the loop.
