I think that the answer to smart glasses taking unsolicited videos of people is to assign the IP to the individual not the person who takes the video. That way they can ask for it to be taken down or monetise it, not the perpetrator.

Now that we are ( rightly) deploring Peter Mandelson over his relationship with a paedophile, in the interest of fairness I now expect any reference to Thatcher to be as the " disgraced former PM" over her relationship with Jimmy Saville, including inviting him to Chequers.

Once again: even if vacating X is too much of a leap for the government to contemplate, cross post! There are apps (Fedica, Buffer, others) that allow you to send the same message to every site with no more effort. Call it being "platform-neutral". Help non-death-threat platforms to grow.

It’s wild. If a journalist accidentally said, e.g. the names of a minister‘s school age children on air, Downing Street would rightly lose it, yet death threats, conspiracies about the PM’s marriage, racism against ministers…all fine apparently!
