The Papers: 'Burnham hints at tax increases' and 'Halt the hellrides'

MyNews newsroom brief · 1h ago · 1 min read · via bbc.co.uk

Several of the papers are calling on social media platforms to stop the sharing of videos posted by joyriders.

The mention of potential tax increases by Burnham is making headlines, but it's the call to action against social media platforms regarding joyrider videos that's also gaining traction. This issue highlights the ongoing debate about the role of social media in regulating and promoting harmful or reckless content.

The concern over joyrider videos, often referred to as 'hellrides,' is not new, but it appears to be gaining momentum as a public safety issue. Joyriders often put themselves and others at risk of serious harm or even death. The fact that several papers are now calling for a halt to the sharing of such videos on social media platforms indicates a growing frustration that these platforms are not doing enough to prevent the spread of this content.

As this story continues to unfold, it's worth watching how social media platforms respond to these calls for action. Will they take steps to more aggressively remove or restrict the sharing of joyrider videos, or will they argue that such content does not violate their existing policies? Additionally, the impact of any potential tax increases proposed by Burnham, and how they might relate to funding for public safety initiatives, will also be worth monitoring in the coming days.
