The Guardian view on smartphones and children: a compelling case for action

The principle that some products are available to adults and not children is uncontroversial. Access to weapons, alcohol and pornography is curtailed in this way because a level of maturity is the precondition for access (but not a guarantee of responsible use). Until recently, few people put smartphones in that category. The idea of an age restriction on sales would be dismissed as luddism or state-control freakery. But ministers are reported...

Heartbreak High season two review – busy, blingy but all a bit flaccid

The second season of Netflix’s Heartbreak High reboot begins with Carrie-esque visions of a school formal erupting in flames, as if to say: this season will be louder, busier, and more sensational than the first.
