This is spot on: Life Under a Clicktatorship, What happens to government when everything is content?

Don Moynihan @donmoyn.bsky.social · 4d

Community Service Orders (CSOs) have existed in Ireland since 1983 as an alternative to short-term imprisonment. Despite legislative efforts, they remain underutilised. This article with Niamh Maguire explores why: www.pbni.org.uk/publication/...

Conor Gearty died a month ago yesterday. He was deeply committed to human rights law without idealising it. He recognised its power & value while acknowledging its limitations (& those of the people engaging with it). He was also an exceptional lawyer. This is a fitting final piece in the @lrb.co.uk
