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

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...
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 ⬇️
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
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 ⬇️
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 ⬇️
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...
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.
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...
"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...
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

The Ebola outbreak is out of control in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The situation has been exacerbated by slashed foreign aid budgets. We need a world in which we have decent medical services everywhere, until then none of us can be certain of our health security. #Ebola #WHO #HealthSecurity
Why does ideological certainty feel like reality, even when it narrows our view? Ideology feels like reality. Certainty crowds out curiosity. That is the risk. #Curiosity, #Mindset, #Leadership

Mahlzeit 🖖☕️ Heute ist "Tag des Wanderns". Man kann Männer beobachten, die mit vollen Bollerwagen durch die Gegend ziehen. Oft Richtung See oder Kanal. Vermutlich kippen sie da das Bier rein, um die Fische besoffen zu machen. Dann kann man sie besser fangen. Schönen Vatertag 🫶
