UK Digital‑Safety Policy

The UK government has enacted a total social‑media ban for users under, a move that will affect platforms such as X, YouTube, TikTok and Reddit. The policy, announced by Prime Minister Starmer, targets age‑verification failures and aims to curb exposure to harmful content. Critics argue the ban may push younger users toward unregulated channels, while supporters highlight potential reductions in cyber‑bullying and addiction. The legislation is expected to take effect next month, with enforcement mechanisms still under development. The ban represents the most aggressive regulatory step in the UK’s digital‑safety agenda in over a decade.

Developer Job Market

Dutch startup Dalus, which emerged from YC W25, has posted a vacancy for a senior front‑end engineer in its Berlin office. The role seeks expertise in React, Type Script, and cloud‑native deployment, reflecting Dalus’s shift toward scalable Saa S products. The company’s rapid growth and recent seed round of $15 million signal a broader trend of European Y‑combinator alumni expanding into European tech hubs. Applicants can apply online, with interviews scheduled for early July. The opening underscores the continued demand for front‑end talent in the EU despite tightening data‑protection rules.
