Lurking in the UK Online Safety Act is the spy clause that could make encrypted message apps scan our private chats.
This would shatter our right to privacy and create vulnerabilites that anyone could exploit.

The UK Online Safety Act does nothing to challenge the dominance of Big Tech.
Government needs to use competition powers so we can choose moderation engines and switch social media provider without losing our networks.

The UK police claim AI and tech can ‘predict’ crimes 🎱
Our liberties mustn't be taken away in a biased game of probability that automates unjust stop and searches, harassment and use of force on over-policed communities.

ORG called for unjust 'crime-predicting' tech to be banned from UK policing 🚨
Police tech doesn’t predict crime. It predicts policing. Based on biased data, it brings more of the same – racist policing and poverty punishment.
