ironically i AM seeing more hatred against terfs/radfems now that the online safety act & collective shout has had their success. if only you all listened to us, idk, years ago lol. being anti-porn is not a feminist take when your solution is to mass censor and surveill everyone

NCOSE began as Morality in Media, a religious conservative group pushing censorship in the U.S. They rebranded to try to appear more feminist At their heart they are still a censorious organization. Their goal is to censor and control art

Australia has banned under 16s from accessing any social media including YouTube (law requires all users to provide ID). The UK's online safety act is so broad it captures everything from Spotify to Spongebob. EU and US prepping identikit laws. We're going to lose the internet

The EU is inching toward the most sweeping surveillance mandate in its history, scanning every private message before it’s encrypted, right on your device. For over three years the plan stalled. Poland tried to make scanning voluntary, leave encryption alone. Denmark took over

POV: You're in the United Kingdom and you visit Xitter. Thankfully, the United Kingdom legislation has protected you from DANGEROUS online material. It was pictures from the Pokemon TV series and a cute dog pictures account (extremely dangerous material)

Reddit is blocking the Internet Archive from saving most of its site. That means no more archiving of posts, comments, or profiles, just the front page. The internet’s memory of Reddit is being scrubbed. Officially, Reddit says it’s a move against AI companies that scrape data

Britain’s Home Office just rolled out ten “mobile facial recognition” vans; think ice cream trucks for the surveillance state, starting in Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, and a handful of other regions...

DO NOT encourage the government to try to "solve" a problem we can solve ourselves. This Roblox situation is a quick downward slope to Digital ID and online verification for games. If Roblox refuses to help create a safer environment for children - then don't play it. Don't let

The greatest fear I talked about yesterday has come true. The Government is using "Roblox" to push the "SCREEN Act" and "Kids Online Safety Act". The Attorney General that opened the investigation into Roblox is now wanting "Forced ID" age verification. youtu.be/xFo4sdt53fY

Despite 83% public opposition, the Irish government is moving ahead with its National Counter Disinformation Strategy, a censorship blueprint cloaked in concern for truth. There was a consultation. The people responded: drop it. Four out of five said it threatens civil
