The UN General Assembly created this day in 2008 as a way to commemorate the 2003 bombing of the UN headquarters in Iraq, where 22 humanitarian workers’ lives were lost.

This was also pointed out at the University Of Sussex, with Dr Hamid Khobzi having said, “The prosperity of content creators and their favoured social media channels goes hand in hand. However, recent examples such as changes to Instagram Reels which lost creators up to 70% of earnings per view, and YouTube penalising historic content for profanity, have tested this faith.”

“Established platforms and their shareholders have reason to be worried if influencers abandon them. But around seven in ten content creators don’t know anything about the new tech coming down the line…
