Exploring the balance between freedom of expression and public harm — and why stronger legislation, trigger warnings, and editorial standards are urgently needed in media and social platforms.

Schools now use more digital tools in classrooms, which makes keeping students safe online harder. From online learning platforms to cloud-based teamwork tools, students use many online spaces that can boost learning but also bring risks.

At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, our mission goes beyond providing high-quality digital services. We are committed to empowering disabled individuals, especially those with learning disabilities and dyslexia, to build successful businesses and enhance their digital presence.

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has appointed disability rights expert Zara Todd to chair the new Independent Disability Advisory Panel. The panel is billed as a way to “listen to, learn from, and collaborate with” Deaf and disabled people and people with long-term health conditions. It will include up to 10 members and advise across health and disability policy.

Freedom of speech is the cornerstone of any democratic society. It ensures that individuals and organizations can express their thoughts, opinions, and truths without fear of persecution or suppression. However, recent developments in the UK suggest that this fundamental right may be under threat, as the government plans to shut down websites that they deem to promote “fake news.”

Job hunting and running a business share a common struggle; despite effort, visibility, and determination, opportunities remain scarce. The case of Joe Emery highlights the reality that many people face: endless applications, countless rejections, and a system that seems blind to the human toll of unemployment. Businesses, particularly disabled entrepreneurs, mirror this struggle, working tirelessly yet seeing minimal returns.

Regardless if you are an able-bodied or disabled person, starting or expanding a business, one of the most important decisions is choosing the right legal structure. In the UK, the most common options are Sole Trader, Partnership, and Limited Company (Director-owned). Each comes with its own legal, financial, and tax obligations. Understanding the differences will help you make an informed choice, avoid pitfalls, and remain compliant with HMRC and Companies House.

Deepfake technology presents a growing threat to personal dignity, democratic integrity, and public trust. While the UK has acted against sexually explicit deepfakes, wider identity protection remains fragmented. Denmark is leading with a landmark law granting citizens copyright-like rights over their face, voice, and body. The UK now has the opportunity to go further, combining legal reform with technological innovation to safeguard identity in the digital age.

For disabled entrepreneurs and start-ups, one of the most important early decisions is choosing the right domain name. A domain is more than just an address, it represents your brand identity, influences search engine visibility, and affects how easily people can find and remember you.

Phone scams have become a sophisticated threat targeting individuals of all ages. From fake bank calls to impersonations of government bodies like HMRC or the DWP, scammers use fear, urgency, and clever manipulation tactics to trick people into handing over sensitive information or money. Recognising the red flags and knowing how to protect yourself is the first step toward staying safe.
