Sir Nick Clegg takes swipe at Instagram and calls for tougher tech regulation
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Former Meta boss Sir Nick Clegg has called for tougher regulation of tech firms, branding social media a poisoned chalice and the rise of AI online a negative development. The ex-deputy prime minister warned that engaging with automated content appears to be much worse, particularly for younger people's mental health than interactions with other human beings. And he criticised the TikTokification of apps like Instagram, which is owned by Meta,"

The outlet investigates topics such as the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and produces documentaries like 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Sir Nick Clegg called for tougher regulation of tech firms, described social media as a poisoned chalice and called the rise of online AI a negative development. He warned that engaging with automated content appears worse for younger people's mental health than human interactions and criticised the TikTokification of apps like Instagram, calling for greater transparency around algorithmic systems during an evidence session of the Independent Commission on Community and Cohesion.
