Back in the WordPress space, we’ll tackle a long-simmering question: should hosting companies own major WordPress products, or does that create conflicts that reshape the ecosystem in ways we’re not fully grappling with yet? And finally, we zoom out globally to the UK’s proposed under-16 social media ban—what it could mean for platforms, parents, and the future of online regulation. It’s a mix of security, power, ownership, and control—and how all of those forces are reshaping the internet we work on every day.
