Sometimes as a journalist you find something out that you know is has the potential to be a society-level game-changer. When my phone rang this morning, on a crowded train, I knew this would be one of those stories. Apple is removing its toughest data protection tool from the UK….

Feel like my brain is rewiring itself the less I use X - I no longer think in tweets and consequently post less everywhere else as well. Anyone else?

What a week - beginning in Paris lots of BBC coverage of a rather dramatic AI Action Summit, and ending with 24 hours in Dublin filming a fascinating story which I can tell you more about soon. Right now I’m quite looking forward to a night in my own bed!

TikTok has taken matters into its own hands & disabled its US platform, hours ahead of the legal ban. I suspect this is a symbolic gesture that it hopes will be temporary, until Trump becomes president tomorrow - but putting him under pressure may not go down well either bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Trump says he has a “warm spot in his heart” for TikTok and its CEO will attend his inauguration on Monday. but is that enough to save the platform from a US ban? As one of many journalists who have been on Supreme Court-watch all week, it would be great to find out sooner rather than later!

Dude on my LinkedIn blasts me for saying that the AI plan has been broadly welcomed by the industry: "no bona fide AI technical experts that don’t have a financial dog in this fight.. think(s) UKGov has said anything sensible here" He should ask the company he works for, given its press statement...

I've just zipped through 86 emails in my inbox offering comment on the government's AI plan news. This is my BBC inbox only, it does not include other folders or DMs/messages sent elsewhere. The majority of those emails came from women PRs, but only 14 of them were comments by women AI experts.
