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 ⬇️

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.
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
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 ⬇️
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...
Digital ID checkpoints could erupt across the Internet 🆔 The government is seeking a power grab. And it's not just social media. Every adult will have to do ID checks to access whatever online services the government – any government – decides to restrict or curfew. ORG's James Baker explains ⬇️
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...
"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...
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.
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 💬

"Israeli air strikes have killed at least 14 people in southern Lebanon [yesterday]. It is the latest violation of last months ceasefire agreement. Over 3,000 people have been killed in Lebanon since Israel began its attacks on March 2nd & more than 1.6m have been displaced.."
"ICE is determined to expand its capacity to detain people to more than 100,000 people at any given time, which is really a shocking number and parallel to the number of Japanese Americans that were incarcerated during World War II."
My heart is broken.😭💔 This RACIST SCUMBAG lives in Kelowna, British Columbia, and Tizzy wants to know who he is (and so do I). What he did to these poor people is a HATE CRIME in Canada, and he better not get away with it, the ANIMAL needs to be shunned, shamed, and prosecuted. Please repost.

Settlement expansion in the West Bank and East Jerusalem is causing unimaginable suffering. The UK must ban trade with illegal settlements, to uphold international law and protect Palestinian civilians.

Australian politicians speech - Trump’s America is dangerously out of control. The fact that Federal Labor awards contracts to agencies that run detention facilities, and that we continue to be tied to the US by the AUKUS nuclear submarine pact, is absurd.
