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 ⬇️

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 💬
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 ⬇️
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 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.
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...
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...
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...
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 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 ⬇️

De Nederlandse politie heeft een schokkend netwerk blootgelegd dat doet denken aan de zaak van Gisèle Pelicot. Ook in ons land zouden vrouwen zijn gedrogeerd, verkracht en gefilmd. Hoe uitzonderlijk is deze zaak? Ben van Mierlo van het landelijk expertiseteam seksuele misdrijven van de politie:
