Apple and Google will be forced to block explicit images on children’s smartphones by law in the UK.

This should concern everyone because someone ELSE gets to define "child" and "explicit" however they want.....

LGBTQI+ artists have been targeted for ‘insulting Christianity’. To queer people, this feels particularly cruel | James Thorpe
By James Thorpe

A theatre pop-up in a former Sydney church has been accused of ‘offensive trade’. But if causing offence can lead to eviction, every artist is vulnerable

A quotation from Henry Commager

Who are those who are really disloyal? Those who inflame racial hatreds, who sow religious and class dissensions. Those who subvert the Constitution by violating the freedom of the ballot box. Those who make a mockery of majority rule by the use of the filibuster. Those who impair democracy by denying equal educational facilities. Those who frustrate justice by lynch law or by making a farce of jury trials. Those who deny freedom of speech and of the press and of assembly. Those who press for special favors against the interest of the commonwealth. Those who regard public office as a source of private gain. Those who would exalt the military over the civil. Those who for selfish and private purposes stir up national antagonisms and expose the world to the ruin of war.

Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist
Essay (1947-09), “Who Is Loyal to America?” sec. 3, Harper’s Magazine, Vol. 195, No. 1168

@inex ❌ In Russia, the classifieds platform Avito has blocked a woman’s account after she used it for messaging during internet outages.

The service explained that the listing titled “Strict cat for friends” violated its rules because it did not offer a real product or service. The woman created it solely as a chat workaround, since Avito is included in the “whitelisted” resources accessible during shutdowns.

ℹ️ Residents of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region have been reporting for the third consecutive day a lack of mobile internet and problems accessing websites and banking services, according to “Current Time.” The “whitelists” have been tested since summer 2025, but even they remain unstable.

This thing is fly under the radar.

From last month, Indonesia Ministry of Technology and Communication blocked access to auth.wikimedia.org.

The domain were used to authenticate users across Wikimedia, meaning that Indonesian user cannot contribute to Wikipedia/Wikimedia.

And last week, THEY also blocked Wikimedia Commons.

Thanks to the backlash and push from Indonesian user, Wikimedia no longer blocked.

Nobody still unsure why this is happened, but the most possible reason is THEY want Wikipedia to register to PSE (basically they must obey the law, which we all know meaning of censorship attempt).

Had a blast watching Legal Eagle's summary of the Afroman lawsuit. I even learned a thing or two about freedom of speech.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pvJmxe7LdE

That said, the guy still has to pay legal fees, not to mention a new gate and front door, so go watch Lemon Pound Cake with no ad blocker I guess? Crazy times we live in...

@irina @EUCommission Also it's IMO gross violation of freedom of speech, freedom of association.

It is my opinion that the hypocritical mask of the West slipped and the true, contemptible, authoritarian, totalitarian nature of the so called Western alleged democracies is revealed.

"Neudělal ani přestupek. Nebyl a není nebezpečný sobě ani okolí. Přesto se z obyčejného studenta posledního ročníku vysoké školy stal „pacient“ zavřený na oddělení, svazovaný popruhy, pod tlakem léků proti své vůli – a nakonec člověk, který z obavy o vlastní život utekl a je dnes v pátrání Policie ČR." -- "se Martin stal terčem brutálního pokusu o vraždu ze strany tehdejšího přítele své matky" -- "Na tento postup si stěžoval. Tím se rozjela spirála, v níž se z člověka bez záznamu stal během pár měsíců 'nebezpečný pacient'." -- "v ústavu opakovaně zažil svazování a nátlakové podávání léků, když se mluvilo o elektrošocích, zvolil jedinou cestu, které rozuměl: útěk. Z obavy o vlastní život." -- "nepadly konkrétní skutky, ale padla nejtvrdší opatření. Příběh mladého muže, který nebyl a není nebezpečný, ale přesto skončil za dveřmi, která zamykají život." -- "spravedlnost má nejprve dokazovat, teprve pak brát." -- "Spolek Šalamoun bude případ Martina Pavlaty dál sledovat a popisovat."

After a €120M fine, X has banned the European Commission from running ads. This retaliatory move highlights the growing friction between big tech power and democratic regulation.

The law, called the Online News Act, passed last week. But it could take months for it to take effect. Once it does, Google and Meta say they will start removing news articles by Canadian publishers from their services in the country. #freedomofspeech #onlinenews #Freedomofthepress
