@DM_Zeppelin Certainly we need better options than “send us your PII and we honest promise not to leak, sell, or store it.” Because we know how well THAT goes, and somehow they think we’ll keep buying it when they say it. Or be surprised when data keeps leaking.

"Musk slams UK as ‘real fascism’ over its 12,000 arrests for online posts
Elon Musk’s attention on the United Kingdom’s policing of online content is a likely response to the country’s threats to ban his social media platform X. The UK is threatening to ban the platform because Grok, the AI chatbot, is producing sexually explicit images of women and children at the request of users.
Elon Musk indirectly accused the United Kingdom of being ruled by fascists, pointing to the thousands of arrests made by the British government over online social media posts deemed 'indecent, obscene or menacing character.'
The X owner shared a post made by an anonymous account that included an unsourced chart showing the number of arrests based on social media posts per country. The United Kingdom led with 12,183 arrests reported, but the graphic did not include over what time period this information was collected. The account said this graphic shows 'what fascism looks like.'
'The UK arrests more people for social media posts than any other country on Earth,' the anonymous account wrote.
Musk concurred, writing this week that 'real fascism is arresting thousands of people for social media posts.'
In another post, Musk commented 'Wow' in response to Polymarket, the world’s largest prediction market, posting that the UK 'has now arrested more than 12,000 people for free speech online.'
The Polymarket tweet is based on information uncovered by freedom of information requests made by 'The Times' in April in determining the number of arrests made in England and Wales because of online posts found to be in violation of section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 and Section 1 of the Malicious Communications Act 1988.
Both of these acts make it illegal for a person to share or send content that is 'grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character' as well as 'threatening, or knowingly false.'
(. . .)
Meanwhile, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday that 'nothing is off the table' if the United Kingdom decides to go ahead with banning X in the UK.
State Department’s Sarah B. Rogers said UK’s threats to shut down X is about the government wanting 'the ability to curate a public square, to suppress political viewpoints it dislikes.'

It’s a relief to see cracks forming in today’s stupidities.
Let’s make them impossible to ignore.
Protect our voices, carve out spaces for them, and listen for those who are already widening the cracks.
Because your voice is the central battlefield — and hope is the most dangerous weapon we have.

BBC edited out a line from the Reith Lectures, calling Trump “the most openly corrupt president in American history.”
A democracy and its institutions should honor free speech, but here they fail.
One sentence.
One idea they didn’t dare to air. Fear.
This is how voices shrink.
First one word, then one line, then whole thoughts.
And suddenly we all sound the same.

"these were students in America doing what students in America should do: questioning authority (in this case, me) and using their rights to free speech and free assembly to engage with issues they are passionate about"
Amen, comrade!

"[ @greenpeace ] gave birth to the non-Indigenous part of the modern environmental movement in the early 1970s and captured the imagination of the world by engaging in spectacular and creative actions to save whales in the north Pacific and to stop nuclear testing. Greenpeace needs to be protected in this critical moment"

"The verdict represents more than a financial blow against Greenpeace. It has huge and very troubling implications for free speech across the nation. The result threatens the rights of religious groups and political organizations. It implicates the rights of churches and charities. If the theory of the case stands, pretty much anyone in the United States can face ruin for exercising their constitutional right to speak on an issue of public importance"

This is (part of) why I am, and intend to continue to be, a financial supporter of @greenpeace . I'm not claiming the organisation is perfect – none is – but we need groups with the courage, resources and skills to stand up to the onrushing #Corporate #Fascist wave.

New Blogpost: 60 Minutes and why it is not allowed to shit talk in Germany.
There is this peace from 60 Minutes about policing the internet in Germany:
Source Youtube: Policing the internet in Germany, where hate speech, insults are a crime | 60 Minutes.
What Germany has learned from the Nazi era is, that there has to be one law that protects all human beeings. And this law stands above all other laws. This law is article 1 of our constitution:The dignity of man is inviolable.
To protect and respect it is the duty of all state authority.
We have free speech in Germany. But that doesn't mean that you are free to insult or threaten other people. That is because of human dignity. Bam!
With regard to their constitution, this is not easy for American citizens to understand. But I think Prof. Stephan Kirste explains the background quite well. Just take the few minutes to watch it:
