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.

Police tech doesn't predict crime. It predicts policing. Fed on flawed police data, so-called 'crime-predicting' tech automates racism and discrimination against overpoliced communities. The Safety Not Surveillance coalition spread the word. Sign up ➡️ action.openrightsgroup.org/join-fight-a...
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 ⬇️
Lights are going out across the Net for UK users. Age verification is driving sites to shut down, geo-block the UK or restrict features and content. In trying to tackle to worst of the Net, it's harming the best. 🗣️ ORG Exec Director, @jim.social.openrightsgroup.org.ap.brid.gy #OnlineSafetyAct
Blink and you’ll have never seen it in the first place 🫥 Age verification rules in the Online Safety Act are snapping parts of the Internet out of existence. But it’s not what you think (porn)! News on conflicts: GONE. Support for sexual health and smoking: GONE. Watch how censorship works ⬇️
Hey Meta, don't leave us on read 👻 Over 10k people have said no to Stalker Ads, so get them off our feed! This week ORG joined @goodlawproject.bsky.social outside Meta's offices in a joint action with @peoplevsbigtech.bsky.social and @eko.org to ask why they've done nothing 🤷♂️ #StopStalkerAds
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...
The over-moderation of content relating to Palestine is a result of the government banning Palestine Action and duties placed on platforms by the Online Safety Act. Our open letter calls on Ofcom to proactively defend the right to free expression. Hear more from ORG's @sarachitseko.bsky.social ⬇️
Digital checkpoints will crop up all over the Internet after MPs backed new powers to expand age verification. The only way to block under-16s is to run checks on everybody. That's millions more people having to hand over personal data to unregulated providers just to access everyday services.
The Online Safety Act is trashing free speech 👁️🗨️ Automated filters designed to blot out 'illegal' content will result in over-moderation. This has serious consequences, particularly when combined with the proscription of Palestine Action. Hear from ORG's @sarachitseko.bsky.social and James Baker ⬇️
ORG and the Safety Not Surveillance coalition hit the streets of London. We sent the message that so-called 'crime-predicting' tech must be BANNED! Because we have the right to be presumed innocent, not predicted guilty. Read more ➡️ www.openrightsgroup.org/blog/why-pre...

C-SPAN caller regrets drinking Donald Trump's Kool-Aid: "He put us in a war. All he wants right now is for a clean face — he wants the Strait of Hormuz open. Guess what? Before he went there, it was open, and the gas prices were beautiful. Everything this man touches..when are people gonna wake up?"

When Sergei Krajev, a bus driver, was killed by Gary Jones, both white, NO outrage. No two-tier Britain. No pure cold rage. For Nigel Farage, white lives only matter when the killer is non-white. When the killer's white? White lives don't matter. Farage is the one creating two-tier Britain.
