Many of the accounts that were sharing his image falsely were from India, as right-wing influencers seized on the alleged origin of the shooter as proof of Pakistan’s terror connections, without fact-checking whether it was the correct man they were vilifying.

“The UK government wants technology companies to block explicit images on phones and computers by default to protect children, with adults having to verify their age to create and access such content,” the FT report said. “Ministers want the likes of Apple and Google to incorporate nudity-detection algorithms into their device operating systems to prevent users taking photos or sharing images of genitalia unless they are verified as adults.”

Ha! Just finished Thank Goodness You’re Here and it was the silliest, raunchiest, Northern Englishest?? thing I’ve played in a while. It was a bit of a fever dream. Like an Adult Swim cartoon with a joke a minute that you’re sort of “playing.” There’s not much in the way of controls and yet it was still incredibly satisfying how you unexpectedly interact with this bizarre world. Everyone in this town is off their rocker yet also loveable? I don’t even know how to describe it it was so unique. I guess just play it if this at all sounds intriguing. Short, but a completely wonderful way to spend a few hours.
