The social media ban for under-16s was everywhere this week, so we take stock of how that’s going, and cover the international reactions and responses from big tech. Then we unpack the controversy surrounding Communications Minister Anika Wells’ travel expenses. It’s the debut of Jodie’s ‘crime corner’, with major updates on the Greg Lynn and Toyah Cordingley cases, and we explain why a trip to the US will soon require handing over your social media history.
