The #UK's #DigitalID crusade has crossed the Atlantic. Five UK NGOs, #5Rights, #CCDH and their US fronts—mask foreign lobbying with #childsafety rhetoric while pushing laws that strip adults of online anonymity. The same system that arrests dissenters in London now fuels 21 state bills and a federal push to ban #VPN use. Under #FARA they hide true foreign control-Americans must engage in #SurveillanceResistance b4 this #SurveillanceCapitalism makes anonymity a cybercrime. https://www.effort.news/uk-lobby

“Exposing The Keir Starmer Arson Mystery”

@thetimes“On June 15th, two young Ukrainians were found guilty of conspiring to carry out arson attacks on two homes and a vehicle intimately connected to former British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Curious details of the trial unreported in the mainstream, and a post-conviction propaganda blitz led by the BBC blaming Russian intelligence actors for directing the pair’s incendiary crimes, raise a number of ominous questions about precisely what happened, and why. The scandal has only grown more perplexing in the wake of Starmer’s resignation”

This disturbing exchange with the Character.ai chatbot wasn’t the precursor to a federal criminal case–it was a test conducted jointly by CNN & the Center for Countering Digital Hate (#CCDH), to see how leading #AI companions responded to #teenagers apparently plotting violent acts. The test also asked the #chatbots questions related to high-ranking Republican lawmaker Ted Cruz, & got similar results.

It is immensely disappointing that the European Parliament manages to defend and support former Commissioner #ThierryBreton, a wealthy, privileged old man who's addressbook is full of powerful friends.
While it not even mentions in passing (let alone defends) the cash-strapped #CivilSociety organisations @hateaid and #CCDH who have been attacked by #Trump in exactly the same way but with zero government support.

#TheGuardian: "#ImranAhmed, the chief executive of the Centre for Countering #DigitalHate (#CCDH), has filed a complaint against senior #Trump allies including #MarcoRubio, and #PamBondi, in an attempt to prevent what he says would be an unconstitutional arrest and removal…over his organisation’s work scrutinising #socialmedia…incl #ElonMusks's X… in violation of #firstamendment.
Ahmed lives lawfully in Washington DC with his American wife and child."

“Trump [poised to] to deport boss of Starmer-linked charity” | Imran Ahmed of CCDH, being booted from USA?
A quick run through the archives reminds us that Mr Ahmed’s CCDH recently called for Ofcom to be able to appeal for powers of direct censorship in times of crisis, whilst elsewhere downplaying the consequences of the Online Safety Act lest it get a bad reputation.
And now the Americans are considering kicking him out? This might be the start of genuine consequences for the “Duty of Care” OSA.
Quoth the Telegraph: (archived)
In 2021, the group named Mr Kennedy, the current Health Secretary, as one of its “Disinformation Dozen”, a list of 12 people it claimed should have their accounts removed from social media for posting anti?vaccine content.
Leaked documents, thought to have been drawn up by the CCDH, also reportedly listed “kill Musk’s Twitter” as one of the group’s annual priorities last year.
The non-profit published a series of highly critical reports linking Mr Musk’s takeover of the platform, now known as X, to rising misinformation and hate speech that was “spreading like wildfire”.
and:
The move is part of an American campaign to “step up pressure” on Britain’s Online Safety Act. The law, which regulates online speech, allows the UK Government to levy massive fines on US companies such as Apple, Truth Social, and X if it finds that rules on hate speech have been broken.
Those in the president’s inner circle see the potential penalties as an unwarranted foreign intervention into American free speech.
Since the law came into effect this year, Ofcom, the UK’s online regulator, has written to several US firms ordering them to conform to the act.
It has sparked outrage from Congressmen and legal experts in the US, who say the overreach is a threat by the UK to silence America’s companies and citizens if they refuse to comply with the British Government’s view of what is acceptable to post online.
“The one thing everyone [in the Trump administration] agrees on is the need to dramatically pressure the UK over the Online Safety Act,” the source said.

I’m absolutely gobsmacked that there is *mention* of “Scrapping the OSA” in PoliticsHome…
…even if it’s an argument against scrappage. Imran Ahmed of CCDH appeals to half-truths:
- “nothing in the act requires the removal of lawful speech”
- “[the OSA has] a proactive requirement to protect freedom of expression”, and
- (para.) “Elon hates the OSA so it must be good”
They’re starting to worry…
…and if they are building their house on foundations of half truth then they are going to have a hard time in the long run.
The House | Claims that Online Safety Act curbs free speech ring hollow from platforms that seek to close down criticism

A federal court has thrown out Elon Musk/Twitters lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH).
Bottom line, Researchers, Journalists and others absolutely have a first amendment right to criticize social media platforms and their moderation processes, without fear of being the subject of a lawsuit.

Judge rules against Elon Musk and criticizes Musk for using courts to intimidate researchers.
“This case is about punishing the Defendants for their speech.”
“The Court is concerned that X Corp’s desire to amend its breach of contract claim has a dilatory motive — forcing CCDH to spend more time and money defending itself before it can hope to get out from under this potentially ruinous #litigation,” he wrote.

Kann man bitte in dem Artikel die #slapp-Thematik aufnehmen? Genau das ist es nämlich:
"SLAPP (engl. strategic lawsuit against public participation = Strategische Klage gegen öffentliche Beteiligung; engl. slap = Ohrfeige, Schlag ins Gesicht) ist ein Akronym für eine rechtsmissbräuchliche Form der Klage, die den Zweck hat, Kritiker einzuschüchtern und ihre öffentlich vorgebrachte Kritik zu unterbinden. Sie wird in den meisten Fällen von Unternehmen, seltener von Privatpersonen oder Behörden, gegen NGOs oder Individuen angestrengt, welche die Geschäftspraktiken des Unternehmens, die Aktivitäten des Individuums oder der Behörde öffentlich kritisieren. "
