Let's pretend: - The police decide whether your tweet is illegal. - The only appeal is to another police officer. - But only the platform, not you, can appeal. - And no-one has to tell you it's happening. No need to pretend...

It was a pleasure to speak at this yesterday and to listen to a stellar line-up of speakers. Here is my talk reduced to a one page mindmap. #OnlineSafetyAct 1/2

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 New powers were slipped into the Crime and Policing Bill yesterday. The police will be given powers to extract data from seized devices and any online accounts accessed on it. No judicial oversight, just on the say so of a senior officer. openrightsgroup.org/press-releases…

Open Rights Group Can anyone explain the thinking behind why the Secretary of State's declaration of compatibility under the Human Rights Act doesn't have to be updated when amendments are introduced after Second Reading?

Sometime in the next 10 days or so Ofcom are due to issue a new #OnlineSafetyAct consultation. It is likely to be the most controversial yet, wading further into the perilous waters of mandatory automated content moderation and proactive content filtering. Keep your eyes peeled.

This study is being massively misinterpreted. College students who wrote an essay with LLM help engaged less with the essay & thus were less engaged when (a total of 9 people) were asked to do similar work weeks later. LLMs do not rot your brain. Being lazy & not learning does.
