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...

The Online Safety Act is an unworkable mess 💩 Can it be changed? And if so, is there the political will to do it? Instead of doubling down on more censorship, Ofcom and the government must take steps to protect freedom of expression. ORG's @sarachitseko.bsky.social and James Baker discuss ⬇️
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.
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 ⬇️
"At their heart, these technologies infringe human rights." Last week @sianberry.bsky.social tabled an amendment to the UK Crime and Policing Bill that would prohibit the use of dangerous 'crime-predicting' police tech. Sign the petition if you agree ➡️ you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ba...
Content takedowns under the Online Safety Act could go further ⚠️ Damaging free expression has knock-on effects. It limits what we get to know about in the public interest and how we can hold power to account. ORG's @sarachitseko.bsky.social and James Baker discuss the impact on live-streaming ⬇️
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...
UK digital infrastructure is on shaky ground. Our dependency on Big Tech must end. We're being ripped off and putting our systems at risk of foreign interference. ORG's @jim.killock.org.uk explains why we need Digital Sovereignty with open source tech. ➡️ www.openrightsgroup.org/publications...
LGBTQ people are core users of the Internet 🏳️🌈 🌐 80% participate in social networking, compared to 58% of the general public. Messaging apps that use end-to-end encryption help to keep LGBTQ people safe. Read more from @lgbttech.bsky.social ➡️ www.lgbttech.org/post/2019/11... #PracticeSafeText 💬
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 ballooning in scope. Bumping up 'self-harm' content as a priority offence means these sort of posts will be stripped from social media for adults and kids. ORG's James Baker explains how this change to the law will result in therapeutic or support content being censored.

NCAA's new "5-in-5" model sounds great on paper. But let's be real about what this actually is -- a backdoor to age limits that will have ripple effects for college sports.

A shove can kill. Vicha Ratanapakdee was 84. He was pushed to the ground and died from the impact. Markwayne Mullin downplays violence. That is the problem. And this is the mindset being considered for DHS leadership. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79LTF3aQID0

Wendy and I spent a beautiful Saturday in Santa Ana planting trees at Sandpointe Park and George Upton Park, cheering on the Santa Ana College Dons Baseball team, and then eating Hans' Homemade Ice Cream on South Bristol in Ward 4. #SantaAna #GoldenCity #CapitalOfOC

NEVER FORGET: The GOP senator who has ‘deep concerns’ over Trump's plan to import Argentine beef, Senator Deb Fischer has a husband who has a DIFFERENT kind of BEEF. In January, moments after VP Kamala Harris swore in the Senator, her husband, Bruce Fischer blatantly REFUSED to shake the VP's hand.🤬

Casey Means was educated as a physician, but she is NOT licensed to practice medicine. She is considered to be a "wellness influencer". This is who they want to be head of the CDC? Call your Reps and tell them to say NO to this incompetent person! #ProudBlue

Trump claiming Israel wouldn’t exist without him is nonsense. He has done nothing Democrats haven't done—both parties let Israel commit genocide with total impunity. Israel’s existence was never in doubt; it is the lives of their innocent neighbors that are at risk. Stop funding their terror.🤦🏾♂️
