The NUJ said: “With misinformation and disinformation rife online, tech giants have a crucial role to play in ensuring they do not amplify false news stories.”

Australians are serious about their coffee

Best street in London. The Espresso Room around the corner on Great Ormond Street and then a 7 minute walk to Fortitude Bakehouse on Colonnade. Thank me later.
