The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – What makes this case especially alarming is not just the presence of exploitation, but the suggestion that it was allowed to persist despite repeated red flags. Whistleblowers reportedly sounded the alarm internally, pointing to systems that enabled predators to connect, share, and profit. For victims and their families, this ruling is more than...

This week the Government decided to unveil a €250 million package to help citizens meet the elevated cost of fuel. And this could be just the start of a series of new efforts to keep down the cost of living. After ending such supports in the last Budget, it seems there is a limit to the Government's ability to resist helping when times get tough and the money is there. But what will happen when a crisis coincides with tougher fiscal times? The renewed threat of inflation is having an impact across the economic and political landscape. Inflation means unpredictable costs and that is especially bad for one key area.Other Government departments will be asked to bail out the Department of Education, which is facing another large budget overspend this year. Will this request brew inter-departmental strife? Our population is growing and our constitution stipulates there should be at least one TD for every 30,000 people. Should that rule be changed before we end up with excessive numbers of Deputies? Maybe - but a referendum on the issue is unlikely under this Government. Plus the panel pick their favourite Irish Times articles of the week, including Newton Emerson on an issue uniting left and right in Belfast, Big Tech's Big Tobacco moment and Malachy Clerkin's report on Ireland's heartbreaking loss against Czech Republic.

Societal grand challenges have taken a toll on humanity, which finds itself at a crossroads. The concentration of wealth and economic inequality, the dominance of Big Tech firms, the loss of privacy and free choice, and the overconsumption and abuse of natural resources have been reinforced by globalization. Regulation, legislation, international treaties, and government and corporate policies have fallen short of offering sufficient remedies. The Cooperative Economy: A Solution for Society(Routledge, 2023) offers a bold solution: a new economic system, free from the design flaws that have contributed to these societal grand challenges. The cooperative economy is an ethical community-driven exchange system that relies on collective action to promote societal values while accounting for resource constraints. The book explains how this new system uses design principles to promote the self-sufficiency of communities, sustainability, and entrepreneurship while limiting overconsumption and excessive profit-making. It enhances economic equality by leveraging price subsidization and by restricting salary differences. Please become involved.

In this episode of The Narrative, Aaron, David, and Mike expose the radical left’s latest assault on children. David breaks down the chaos in the Ohio House, where activists in full drag regalia—backed by the entire Democrat caucus—demanded the "right" to perform in front of children. The hosts also call out the legacy media for its deceptive "experimental" labeling of life-saving abortion pill reversals and explore a massive legal hammer coming for Big Tech’s "addiction engineering" of our kids.Then, Senator Bernie Moreno and Attorney General Dave Yost offer profound reflections on the spiritual foundations of Ohio’s heritage. Sen. Moreno reminds us of John Adams' warning that our Constitution is wholly inadequate for anyone but a moral and religious people. Finally, AG Yost delivers a masterclass on Thomas Worthington, the "Father of Ohio," proving that a fearless, Christ-centered loyalty is the only reason for Ohio’s unique impact on the Republic.Tune in now or queue up your commute podcast! More about Senator Bernie Moreno Bernie Moreno was born in Bogota, Colombia. He moved to the United States with his family at age five and became an American citizen at age 18. Bernie purchased his first car dealership in 2005 and grew that one dealership into one of the largest dealership groups in America, eventually employing over 1,000 Ohioans. More recently, in 2016, Bernie recognized the value and transformational potential of blockchain technology, before it received mainstream attention, and moved much of his volunteer time and investment dollars into the space. Bernie believes that Ohioans deserve better than what they've gotten from Washington, and he will fight to better their lives in the United States Senate. More about Attorney General Dave Yost Dave Yost was re-elected as Ohio’s 51st attorney general on Nov. 8, 2022, receiving more votes than any other attorney general in the state’s history. During his first term as the state’s chief legal officer, he quickly gained a national reputation as a fearless advocate for the rule of law, or as he puts it, “the same rules for everybody.” Yost’s goal is to “do big good” for the people of Ohio by protecting consumers, rooting out corruption, defending the environment, ensuring an open and competitive marketplace, and fulfilling the many other duties of the Ohio Attorney General’s Office. Yost began his public-service career as Delaware County auditor, later winning election as that county’s prosecutor. From 2011 through 2018, he served as Ohio’s auditor of state and, in January 2019, began his first term as attorney general. Yost earned his bachelor’s degree from The Ohio State University and his law degree from Capital University. He and his wife, Darlene, live in Franklin County; they have three grown children and five grandchildren. Want to Go Deeper?

In this episode of The Jeff Dornik Show, Jeff Dornik is joined by Lance Migliaccio and George Balloutine of The Big Mig Show as they lay out a direct indictment of the Trump administration's failure to deliver on its promises, from draining the swamp to holding the deep state accountable, pointing to the absence of arrests, lack of transparency, and what they describe as a complete breakdown in follow-through from figures like Kash Patel and Dan Bongino. Together they confront growing division within conservatives, unresolved questions surrounding Epstein, foreign policy decisions involving Iran, and the erosion of trust among voters who expected accountability but instead are witnessing what they argue is business as usual from a corrupt system that refuses to clean itself.Follow Lance Migliaccio on Pickax - https://pickax.com/LanceMigliaccio

March 26, 2026: A California jury found Meta and YouTube liable for deliberately addictive platform design — and the legal framework they used is headed straight for enterprise AI. Salesforce freezes base salary raises for directors and above, shifting to equity as Big Tech quietly rewrites its compensation playbook. Indeed's Hiring Lab data shows 95% of job postings still don't mention AI — and why that number is a warning, not a comfort. And Meta's president drops a number that reframes the entire AI workforce conversation: half a million electricians needed, and we're nowhere close.

Welcome to The Other Side of Midnight, where Lionel skips the boring mainstream news for a wild, unfiltered dive into the gritty underbelly of reality. This unpredictable late-night call-in show tackles everything from the legal takedown of addictive Big Tech platforms and the terrifying rise of AI, to real declassified conspiracies like Operation Northwoods and MK Ultra. Expect the conversation to swing wildly from the psychology of the "Uncanny Valley" and the theatrics of classic pro-wrestling, to $17.90 McDonald's meals, infuriating ATM scams, and the Soviet officers who saved the world from nuclear annihilation. Tune in for hilarious tough-love rants, quirky caller stories—from indoor strawberry farmers to 74-year-old Amazon boycotters—and a relentless quest to question the official narrative.

What if Big Tech didn't need a law to end online anonymity—just lawsuits? Tara exposes how massive legal pressure on social media companies could force age verification systems that quietly evolve into full-scale digital ID. While politicians claim it's about protecting kids, the real outcome could be a permanently tracked internet where every post is tied to your identity. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY Tara breaks down the next phase in the battle over Big Tech, free speech, and online identity—and it's not coming from Congress. It's coming from the courts. With lawsuits piling up against platforms like Meta, companies are being told they're responsible for the addictive features built into their apps—especially when it comes to minors. That liability changes everything. Because there's only one way to prove who's a minor online: You have to verify everyone. Tara connects the dots between U.S. proposals like the Kids Off Social Media Act, similar policies already rolled out in Australia and the UK, and the growing global push toward digital identity systems. The result? A system where anonymity disappears, platforms retain your identity, and your online behavior can be tracked, filtered, and potentially controlled. And the kicker—this transformation may happen even if no law ever officially mandates it.

A massive legal blow against Big Tech may have just opened the door to something far bigger—and far more dangerous. Tara breaks down how lawsuits against Meta and Google could force age verification, trigger digital ID systems, and potentially end anonymity online. Is this about protecting kids… or building the infrastructure for total control? ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY Tara dives into a shocking legal trend that could reshape the internet forever. After a major court loss tied to social media harm, companies like Meta now face thousands of similar lawsuits—forcing them to rethink how users are identified online. The solution? Age verification. The consequence? Digital ID. Tara connects the dots between U.S. legislation like the Kids Act, global policies in Australia and the UK, and the growing pressure on tech companies to track user identity. What starts as “protecting children” could evolve into a system where anonymity disappears—and your online activity is permanently tied to who you are. This episode breaks down how lawsuits—not laws—may be the fastest path to a fully verified internet.

A massive legal wave is crashing into Big Tech—and Tara says the real consequence isn't just payouts… it's control. After major losses against Meta and Google, thousands of lawsuits are lining up. The claim? Social media is addictive by design. The solution? Verify users—especially kids. But Tara warns that “protecting children” could be the gateway to something much bigger: digital ID, loss of anonymity, and a fully tracked internet. ⚡ EPISODE SUMMARY Tara breaks down a critical turning point for the internet—and it's happening fast. With Meta and Google facing thousands of lawsuits over claims their platforms harm children, courts are sending a clear message: the features themselves are the problem. Algorithms. Engagement systems. The entire structure of social media. That liability creates an impossible demand—prove who is a child online. And there's only one way to do that: verify everyone. Tara connects the dots between U.S. legislation like the Kids Act, global rollouts in Australia and the UK, and the quiet emergence of digital identity systems tied to facial scans, credit cards, and government IDs. What starts as age verification could quickly evolve into a system where: Your identity is permanently tied to your online activity Platforms retain your personal data Speech can be tracked, filtered, and deprioritized And the most important part—this may happen without any law ever requiring it.

Two major jury verdicts delivered a seismic legal blow to Meta. In New Mexico, a jury found Meta liable for misleading users about platform safety and endangering children, ordering the company to pay $375 million in civil penalties, marking the first time a U.S. state has won such a case against a social media giant. Meanwhile in California, a separate jury released a verdict in the case claiming that Meta and YouTube designed addictive, harmful platforms that contributed to serious mental‑health impacts in young users. Greg and Holly walk through the developments and the big picture impacts.

The verdict is in! Meta and YouTube were both found liable in court this week for failing to protect their users from serious, lasting harm to their mental health. Now, there's blood in the water, and more suits are sure to follow. What's next for these big tech companies? Will we finally see some real regulations put into place? Phil Napoli, Professor of Public Policy at Duke University, joins Ian Hoch to assess what this verdict means for the future litigiousness of tech companies.

Is this a genuine turning point - a potential “Big Tobacco moment” for Silicon Valley - or just another legal challenge that tech giants will fight and ultimately move past?Ciaran Jenkins was joined by tech journalist Chris Stokel-Walker and former Twitter head of news and journalism partnerships Vivianne Schiller.

Si apre oggi e prosegue fino a domenica 29 marzo la 57ª edizione di Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna, da oltre cinquant’anni evento di riferimento per le aziende e i professionisti della filiera cosmetica. Anche quest’anno Radio 24 è presente con la sua postazione nel Centro Servizi della manifestazione. L’evento si svolge nel quartiere fieristico del capoluogo emiliano, con BolognaFiere che nel 2025 ha registrato un fatturato record di 306,7 milioni di euro, confermandosi piattaforma internazionale di riferimento per il settore beauty. L’edizione 2026 conta 3.104 espositori da 68 Paesi, oltre 10mila brand rappresentati e una manifestazione sold-out, con oltre 250mila visitatori attesi. Forte la spinta internazionale: l’80% degli espositori arriva dall’estero e il 37% è rappresentato da nuovi partecipanti, con un aumento significativo di interesse da Stati Uniti, Medio Oriente, Asia e Africa. Sono presenti 33 collettive nazionali, incluse nuove partecipazioni da Arabia Saudita, Belgio, Portogallo, Ungheria e Uzbekistan. In questo contesto, il settore cosmetico italiano conferma la propria solidità: nel 2025 ha raggiunto un fatturato di 18 miliardi di euro (+2,9%), trainato dalle esportazioni che superano gli 8,6 miliardi (+4,1%) e rappresentano circa la metà del totale. Il mercato interno vale 12,8 miliardi (+3,2%), con una crescita sostenuta da digitale e fragranze.Ci colleghiamo con Gianpiero Calzolari (nella foto a sinistra), presidente di BolognaFiere; Benedetto Lavino (nella foto a destra), presidente di Cosmetica Italia dai nostri studi a BolognaGiuria California, Meta e Google responsabili per dipendenza dai socialUna giuria di Los Angeles ha condannato Meta Platforms e Alphabet Inc. a risarcire una giovane donna per danni legati all’uso dei social media, segnando un nuovo passaggio nella crescente pressione legale sulle Big Tech. Il caso non è isolato: poche ore prima un’altra giuria, in New Mexico, aveva già sanzionato Meta per non aver protetto adeguatamente i minori, con una multa complessiva di 375 milioni di dollari. Le accuse riguardano meccanismi che favorirebbero dipendenza e problemi di salute mentale, in un contesto dominato da modelli di fruizione come lo scroll infinito e la cosiddetta “tiktokizzazione” dei contenuti, ormai diffusa anche su Instagram e YouTube. Gli esperti parlano di un possibile “momento Big Tobacco” per il settore tecnologico, con il rischio di una revisione profonda dei modelli di business. Intanto negli Stati Uniti cresce la pressione politica per introdurre nuove norme a tutela dei minori, mentre le aziende cercano un dialogo con l’amministrazione Trump. Il commento è di Biagio Simonetta, Il Sole 24 Ore.Crisi energetica e guerra in Medio OrienteLa crisi in Medio Oriente torna al centro del dibattito internazionale, con il conflitto tra Stati Uniti, Israele e Iran che alimenta tensioni geopolitiche e timori economici globali. Al centro delle preoccupazioni anche lo stretto di Hormuz, snodo strategico per l’energia mondiale, il cui futuro resta incerto. Durante gli incontri dell’Aspen Institute a Venezia, gli analisti hanno sottolineato come il conflitto stia già producendo effetti sull’economia, tra aumento dei costi energetici, inflazione e rallentamento della crescita. L’Europa e l’Italia, pur avendo diversificato le fonti energetiche dopo la crisi del gas russo, restano esposte a nuove vulnerabilità. Sul piano geopolitico, qualsiasi evoluzione del conflitto rischia di lasciare un Medio Oriente ancora più instabile, mentre la Cina osserva e sul fronte diplomatico emergono timidi segnali di movimento. Il commento è di Giulio Tremonti, deputato (FdI) e presidente della commissione Affari esteri ed europei della Camera, Aspen Institute Italia.
