RE: https://mstdn.ca/@JEmphatically/116004119679502827
Just to update you on this, I emailed the Access to Information officer who originally replied to say there were zero documents, late in the day on Feb. 2. I made my case as to why I believed she was wrong.
I've received no reply or even acknowledgement of my email as of yet.
I have however, thanks to help from people on Mastodon ( ✊ ) and other journalists, seen email evidence that people in the premier's office were indeed communicating with O'Leary Ventures and the MD of Greenview about the Wonder Valley announcement.
So, yes, there are documents.

There is so much to he said about the hypocrisy of France's proposed #SocialMediaBan for children, but let's start with this quote from President #Macron:
"The emotions of our #children and #teenagers are not for sale or to be manipulated, either by American #platforms or Chinese #algorithms."
As if those were the only two God-given options. He'd rather ban an entire idea than help us build something better.

✍️ Sign and share: Solidarität mit Verteidiger:innen der Meinungsfreiheit in Indonesien
Seit Ende August werden in Indonesien landesweite Proteste brutal niedergeschlagen: mind. 10 Tote, viele junge Aktivist*innen inhaftiert unter dem restriktiven Internet-Governance-Gesetz (ITE-Gesetz). Plattformen wie TikTok & Meta verstärken mit der Sperrung von Nutzerkonten und überzogener content moderation die staatliche Unterdrückung kritischer Stimmen.
Der Solidaritätsaufruf von Southeast Asia Freedom of Expression Network (SAFEnet) und weiteren Organisationen fordert die sofortige Freilassung der Inhaftierten, ein Ende digitaler Repression, die Verantwortung von TikTok & Meta für Meinungsfreiheit sowie enges Monitoring durch die UN.👉 Unterzeichnen & teilen: https://my.liberaforms.org/joint-statement-on-indonesias-digital-crackdown

Our lead relay engineer @alexhaydock has increased our stateless #Tor exit relay deployment to 96! (+1 because of the new #RISCV bare-metal node, +1 other we redeployed due to a silly spelling error). We're stress testing our three AMD Epyc 7402P servers that use #Proxmox.
Each one of the 96 Tor exit nodes are diskless Unified Kernel Images, 56MB in total size, using @alpinelinux's alpine-make-rootfs with an absolutely bare minimum number of packages. We'll be publishing more about our new architecture and configuration soon.

Great initiative: the LGBTQarchive - I'm sharing it because access to information is more important than ever.

Great question! Are there any European countries where the Freedom of Information Act could mandate politicians and public institutions to publish on alternative, login-free platforms? Or is there a similar requirement at the EU level?
Any legal expert?

There's a reason I want an OmniMask.
~ it's so I can be the coolest doomer at school ~
But also because I want more people to feel comfortable being around me:
both the immunocompromised or carers,
and people who read lips to help with Auditory Processing Disorder, loss of hearing, d/Deafness;
or anyone who just feels more comfortable seeing whole faces.I definitely don't understand the "I want to see your FACE" people,
but I don't generally set out with the intention of unnerving people
(until they upset me and I've tried conflict resolution skills, but unfortunately haven't fully concluded it. THEN I get ornery!)#mask #masks #respirator #MaskMeansRespirator #respirators #MaskBloc #PPE #accessibility #Accessible #LipReading #EaseOfAccess #Access #universal_free_internet_access #AccessToInformation #PublicAccess #Health #health2025 #Healthy #HealthyHabits

There was a discussion on the radio just now, about proposals made by a government somewhere to ban under-16 year olds from social media.
Now, whatever else about this proposal, banning young people from doing things has been famously effective in stopping them from doing and wanting to do the forbidden activity.
Very clever. So smart.
