PRESSURE SYSTEMS — LATEST EDITION

Age Bans, University Capture, and the ADHD Care Gap

June 11, 2026

Canada, the UK, and multiple US states are advancing age-verification mandates and social media bans that risk hardwiring invasive surveillance into identity infrastructure while ignoring the widening ADHD care gap and unequal access to mental health support for neurodivergent youth. Meanwhile, cash-strapped universities face pressure to become talent pipelines for AI vendors, and Meta's rollback of content restrictions has coincided with a spike in violent threats against politicians, demonstrating how state overreach and platform governance failures converge to concentrate control over public discourse and care while leaving material harms unaddressed.
