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...
"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
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...
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 ⬇️
The use of AI in asylum decision-making is likely unlawful. These tools rewrite interviews, choosing what to include and exclude. Without knowing this, asylum applicants can't be sure accurate information is used to inform decisions. 📺️ ORG's @sarahalsherif.bsky.social explains the legal opinion.
Social media is an "unhealthy online environment" 🤮 The problem lies with the business model that underpins these monopolistic platforms: they promote ragebait to rake in the money. ORG's Jim Killock told BBC News what needs to be done: ✅ Competition. ✅ User empowerment. ✅ Decentralisation.
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 ⬇️
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.
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 ⬇️
"They tell you what they think" Andy Maciver suggests that Reform UK and the @scottishgreens.org have an unusual similarity... that being that they actually answer questions.

The Academy just made it clear... Performances must be done by real actors w their consent, & screenplays have to be written by humans to qualify for major awards. Al can't replace the people behind the work. It's not a ban on Al... it's a line being drawn on what still counts as human storytelling.

This past Friday, I heard from Arizonans who spoke out on rising costs and cruel Trump Administration policies hurting them. While billions go to ICE, they’re losing healthcare and struggling to afford groceries. I’ll keep fighting to lower costs and hold this administration accountable.

Deutschland verbrennt jedes Jahr für 80 Milliarden Euro Öl und Gas zum Jux. Kein LKW fährt damit Ware aus, kein Betrieb produziert damit, kein Kraftwerk macht daraus Strom für die vielen Leerzeiten von Wind und Sonne. Sagt Robert Habeck.
