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 ⬇️

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 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 ⬇️

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.

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 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 ⬇️

"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...

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

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.

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.

An Post are planning to move the Edmondstown sorting office all the way to Lucan. For anyone who needs to collect a parcel or missed delivery, this move to Lucan could mean a long trip across the city. For the workers in Edmondstown, it means turning their jobs and work-life balance upside down.

The more these grown insecure men loyal to Trump engage in abusive commentary with 23-year-old Adam Mockler on air and social media, the more they’re exposing him to Gen Z Republican voters who feel deceived by Trump. They turn to insults when defeated. Keep up the good work, @adammockler.com! 👏

Some of the facade windows of the Ukrainian House in Kyiv were damaged during the latest attack. Just two days later, the doors reopened to visitors. The plywood boards covered the damage like a quiet sign of resilience. Today, I visited an exhibition about Chornobyl there.

It’s even better in the longer version, you can see him say “WTF was that?!” right before looking at the referee and smacking him. That’s what happens when you run Dobeš with Zuke’s around... 😂 I seriously can’t stop watching it. #GoHabsGo
