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...

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 ⬇️
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 ⬇️
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.
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...
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.

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 ⬇️
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
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 ⬇️
The War in Iran is about to be a quagmire. I voted yes on another War Powers Resolution. But Speaker Johnson and the majority blocked it. We need to have more debate in the United States Congress. We need to vote on more War Powers Resolutions because we need to end this war now.
Massive cuts to services and programs is not responsible government, it's leaving everyday Michiganders behind for political points.
The Benefits Advisors at EBSA serve all Americans–from navigating health & retirement plans to handling claim denials. Despite the tremendous return on investment, the Admin is proposing $10M cuts to the program. Today, Labor AS Aronowitz committed to prioritizing the program despite proposed cuts.

"I can say that the administration is still trying to limit the objectives and not make this look like an endless war, but it's been a mess in terms of the messaging of what this actually looks like, what an endgame actually looks like," said @markmazzetti.bsky.social.
@mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social: We need to rebuild America’s schools and invest in things that actually help students learn.

Another lost day for business. It's a shame the city council has made it's center liveable and accessible for pedestrians and cyclists, instead of ensuring good accessibility and parking spaces for cars. That would have made it so much more profitable for entrepreneurs. 🤷♂️
