ORG launched a tool so the public could object to Stalker Ads. With @GoodLawProject, we took the message to Meta’s offices and asked why they were ghosting us. They’ve since announced a flawed ‘pay or consent’ model – the fight isn’t over! Read more ➡️ www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releas...

Teens are locked out of parts of the Internet by the age gate that the Online Safety Act has imposed 🚧 Don't believe the hype: it goes way beyond the headlines of porn. From health advice to memes, content is being over-moderated. ORG's @sarachitseko.bsky.social and James Baker explain it all ⬇️

Before the online safety consultation even ended, the government indicated that new restrictions are on the way. Pushing for a social media ban ignores its inherent fault – it doesn't work. ORG's James Baker explains how people will find workarounds and what's a better way to address online harms.

Twitchers. TikTokkers. Youtubbers. Age verification could be about to hit livestreaming. All under-18s will have engagement and self-expression crushed by Ofcom's proposals. There must a risk-based approach, not a blanket ban. Reply to the consultation ➡️ action.openrightsgroup.org/online-safet...

VPNs are vital for online safety, but they're now in the firing line. People have turned to them to protect their privacy, rather than splurge their data to unregulated age verification providers following the Online Safety Act. But they have an important role to guard against predators online ⬇️

“Strong encryption strengthens the foundation of trust online and ensures that our digital spaces remain ones where individuals can live authentically and without fear.” Shae Gardner from @lgbttech.bsky.social explains why encryption is so important for the LGBTQ community 🏳️‍🌈 #PracticeSafeText 💬

Age walls could be erected at the government's whim. New Henry VIII powers would give Ministers the ability to impose age verification across the Internet. And it goes way beyond social media. We'll have to surrender our ID to unregulated providers for everyday access to information and services.

We went outside the national police summit and this is what happened... When we tried to ask delegates to talk on camera, no one wanted to. Why? Because constant monitoring doesn’t feel safe. It feels intrusive 🤷‍♂️ #SafetyNotSurveillance #BanCrimePredictingTech

Social media is an "unhealthy online environment" 🤮 The problem lies with the business model that underpins these monopolistic platforms: they promote ragebait to rake in the money. ORG's Jim Killock told BBC News what needs to be done: ✅ Competition. ✅ User empowerment. ✅ Decentralisation.

The UK needs to break the cycle of dependency on Big Tech ⛓️‍💥 Proprietary systems, secret code and punishing exit fees mean we're out of pocket and out of control. The legacy is one of failure over strategic investment. That's why we need Digital Sovereignty now. ORG's @jim.killock.org.uk explains.
