    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.....

  2. VRIJHEID VAN MENINGSUITING

    AUB DELEN IPV LIKEN‼️

    Voor jou én iedereen hier op Mastodon, en op Pixelfed Peertube en de vele andere echt sociale netwerken
    En op de écht vrije democratische vrijheid van meningsuiting ‼️‼️‼️

    USA heeft een Europees internet hostingnetwerk offline gehaald en als terroristen betiteld ‼️
    Ongeacht of je vindt dat ook antifa een platform mag hebben

    Denk je in :
    Wij hier halen ON (=fascistische omroep) uit het publieke bestel⁉️

    >≥> usa haalt een platform offline waar ook Antifa, protesteerders tegen fascisme, hun mening kunnen uiten⁉️

    Luister vooral even een kwartiertje naar de podcast van NRC
    Daarin wordt heel erg helder e.e.a uitgelegd

    Het is nu tijd om van democratie een werkwoord te maken

  3. The Orwellian machinery critics are desperate to protect is the algorithms, not laws that seek to reduce harm | Ed Coper
    By Ed Coper

    Critics of Australia’s digital duty of care bill stand in defence of the right of platforms to promote harm over health, rage over reason, and fake over fact

  4. A quotation from Abraham Fortas

    Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.

    Abraham Fortas (1910–1982) American academic, jurist, lawyer; US Supreme Court Justice (1965–69)
    Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503, 508 (1969) [majority opinion]

  9. @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.

  10. Constellations: new, decentralised writers' festivals are emerging

    "I feel like lots of the local writing community haven't necessarily had a place in (Adelaide) Writers' Week for a while."

    "Organisers reckon there are lessons to be learned in the opportunities of "bottom-up", inclusive programming and extending festivals beyond city hubs, including attracting a more diverse audience." >>

  14. Oh! Children and teenagers in swimwear is now sexual abuse material! So I guess now you can go to jail for making a photo of your own children on a beach, or making a selfie on a beach or at a swimming pool where random children or teenagers are running around in the background!

    "Pictures of teenage girls and children were altered to show them wearing swimwear, leading experts to say some of the content could be categorised as child sexual abuse material."

    The Guardian, theguardian.com/technology/202

    Maybe it's purpose is an excuse so that police can freely, frivolously, arbitrarily and wantonly break into anyone's home and rob them of their essential documents, phones and computers to intimidate them away from criticizing the government or living a nonconformist lifestyle?

  15. @sutaio Myšlenka v českém🇵🇭*) režimu nikdy trestněprávně stíhaná není. Skutečné myšlenkové zločiny český🇵🇭 režim nemá, na rozdíl od režimu v Orwellově románu 1984.

    *) Je to filipínská vlajka a ne česká🇵🇭. Používám ji místo české🇵🇭, protože český🇵🇭 režim zavedl myšlenkový zločin 352/2001 Sb. § 13 ((2), (1) a)), § 1 ((2), (1) b)), § 7 (6) e-sbirka.cz/sb/2001/352/2022-0 ohledně české🇵🇭 vlajky, takže používám podobně vypadající vlajku, která prokazatelně není českou🇵🇭 vlajkou, aby se český🇵🇭 režim nemohl mstít za kritiku nebo dissent prostřednictvím lawfare. Cítím za to

    e x t r é m n ě s i l n é o p o v r ž e n í

    vůči českému🇵🇭 režimu.

  16. @alterelefant @mattsheffield Indeed. I made a new flag for America Rouge (my sarcastic name for the US regime) based on the style of the actual Khmer Rouge flag.

    For the thought police of the Czech🇵🇭*) regime, EU🇪🇺 : this is meant as a criticism of Khmer Rouge and US regime, not their promotion.

    I feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the US regime when it behaves as authoritarian as it does.

    I feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Khmer Rouge regime when it murdered and killed so many people.

    I feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Czech🇵🇭*) regime when it IMO behaves like a thought police and makes it a crime to express certain ideas to the point that I am afraid when criticizing authoritarian regimes to the point that I add a disclaimer that this is meant as a criticism . (Maybe the Czech🇵🇭*) regime aims to make criticism of authoritarian regimes illegal by indirect means of chilling effect?)

    *) It's actually Philippine flag and not Czech🇵🇭 flag. I use it because the Czech regime has another thoughtcrime regarding the Czech🇵🇭 flag so I use a similar looking flag which is provably not the Czech🇵🇭 flag, so that the Czech🇵🇭 regime cannot retaliate for criticism or dissent via lawfare. I also feel

    e x t r e m e l y s t r o n g c o n t e m p t

    towards the Czech🇵🇭 regime for this.

  18. 🇲🇾 Edisi Siasat series instantly banned & they face civil action. Is trust in the government forced, or does it actually depend on citizens—to trust or not? I think, the government indeed depends on citizens' trust but never are the citizens the puppets of the government.

  19. Reactionary speech police in U.S. Academia: What else is new?

    "That morning, I got onto what I thought was a casual call with a senior colleague, someone who spoke with me regularly in order to keep the university updated on Mill Institute activities. Once we were past the opening pleasantries, it immediately became clear that something was wrong.

    My colleague told me that we needed to talk about a social-media post of mine that “had become a big problem.” I rarely post anything online, so I was confused about what he meant. Apparently, it had something to do with DEI, and had angered a major funder. “We’re trying to slow things down,” my colleague told me. I got the impression that he was upset about the message he was delivering.

    I dimly recalled that I’d written something about DEI on LinkedIn. But I was still confused, because it had seemed like such an innocuous post (to me, anyway); and I couldn’t imagine how it would upset anyone in the UATX community, let alone lead to this ominous phone call.

    In that post (reproduced below), I’d thanked writer and Yale professor Michael J. Strambler for mentioning the Mill Institute in a magazine article titled The False Binary of the DEI Debate. The piece, which struck a liberal tone, walked readers through the pros and cons of DEI programs, concluding that regardless of one’s position on DEI, none of us should lose respect for those who hold different opinions."

    Either we are super careful and self-censor or we are almost certain to be (shadow)#banned from any network sooner or later.

    Dedicated video platforms seem to censor less but for us they are not a suitable fit since we're only writing.

    Arbitrary legal #prosecution is a big risk, too.

  23. On the road to 2047, the state of our democracy cannot be a distant concern

    Even as our society and nation lurch towards a future in which even the rudimentary semblances of democracy and decency are defied, we are increasingly witness to a shrinking support base of persons who can struggle and assert the need for these indispensable norms.
