Delivery firms may soon be liable for unsafe gig economy vehicles.
A legal text change due to come in on October 1st will make it much harder for delivery businesses to enable undocumented workers on their apps, and with that comes knock on effects for vehicle liabilities.

Jury Nullification!
This is why the State has to pull tricks and spread lies, the Public ain't buying it, we're better than our Government (low bar!)

Concerning the legalisation of #pluginsolar in the UK, there is one question open (for us) and maybe there is a #lawyer here who can answer it:
The UK "legalized" #pluginpv but didn't change any law concerning the right of #tenants to use it. The guidance simply says "ask your #landlord”.
Is the use of pluginsolar now subject to the whims of the landlord or does UK law give the tenant a right to install it, as its a generally legal and regulated technical device?

Apparently British Juries are not allowed to use their consciences, it must only be obedience to the State.
Funny how all those "Free Speech Heroes" crying about that Race Science guy are silent on stuff like that, must be their own Free Speech and no one else's.....wonder if the Media is ever going to notice that one

"Judge Altham, the recorder of Preston, ruled on Friday that while the damage was substantial, it was not of the size of other attacks or against a sensitive property, such as an arms company, as has happened in previous Palestine Action incidents, and thus did not meet the high threshold for a terrorist sentencing."
So what makes it a 'terrorist act' is how much property damage your act cost...

CW: re: UKPol, Palestine Action, arrests
I think it's possible that the people behind proscribing Palestine Action might have underestimated the effects of how unsettling this all is for middle-class people who basically trusted "the system" before.
I wonder did they _want_ that effect for some reason, and it's going to be the excuse for something worse later on, or are they just not very clever?
An article from a while back talked about how much the police don't like it either. Some of them joined thinking that their job was to catch villains and protect "the public", and they _hated_ being sent to arrest old people who reminded them of their grandads and grandmas, for sitting around in a friendly way doing basically nothing. The disillusion was bad for morale.
I said before, I think it's "bringing the law into disrepute".

CW: UKPol, Palestine Action, arrests
Heavy-handed arrests for people who've dared to say that supporting Palestine Action is a good thing.
"She was woken by a series of bangs on her door at around 1am. ...
"Allie recalled that she had said as she was being handcuffed: “This is a bit much for what this is, isn’t it?” ...
"... she was held for about eight to nine hours, and released with no charge. ...
“You go through life with a belief in the systems that are there to protect you. This is such a heinous overreach and abuse of those systems. I don't think that I'll ever be able to fully reconcile myself with it. It's like having to reconstruct a new reality,” she said."

The Good Law Project fighting the Government for the rights of Trans Kids on Terf Island.
Imagine the backroom manoeuvres there are in the chambers of UK Law against them.
"Don't rock that boat. Don't cause a scene. Fit in or fuck off!"The quite and petty oppression of the British Isles.
I remember when the Brits were doing this to ALL Queer kids, Queer kids like me as it turned out.

RE: https://todon.eu/@regendans/117010334608214636
The Labour Government would happily destroy the Criminal Justice system in this country just to protect another nation's genocide of peoples.
The UK State will never let us 'win', they can't lose face, even if it destroys them. I've seen it in every UKGOV scandal....

"New PM Andy Burnham will be challenged on Thursday to drop the Government’s efforts to keep the ban on Palestine Action which has so far seen thousands arrested "
but sadly the website is giving me "429 Too Many Requests"
Just a coincidence, right?

A LADY Chief of Justice using the example of the Suffragettes as a reason to proscribe Palestine Action as terrorists is some real White Feminism.....

The way they used the Suffragettes to justify banning Palestine Action is quite obscene as well...

I've just finished reading the UK Government's new report today on the use of copyright works in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, produced by the Dept for Science, Innovation and Technology, the Dept for Culture, Media and Sport & the Intellectual Property Office UK.
Here are the key respondent views + conclusions from the government - I'm available for on-air commentary as needed:
📌Gov UK most concerned about AI creating "digital replicas" of someone’s voice or face - but bizarrely not bothered about copyrighted texts, images, software etc being used in AI model training datasets (the report calls it "input transparency")
📌There is currently no mandate for AI developers to disclose publicly what IP they are using in their datasets, only which web crawlers they use to crawl the internet. But not what data they crawl or what it is used for
📌Creative industries strongly support the introduction of mandatory standards on input transparency, while tech firms have complained of the "practical and financial burdens of disclosure", particularly affecting small AI startups
📌AI developers & tech firms want exceptions to copyright for AI innovation. Creative industries have rejected the option to opt out of this
📌Gov UK to work on best practices around labelling the content outputted by AI models as AI-generated, but they want to see what other nations do first
📌However, Govt UK said this despite including in this report the new legislation from California, China and South Korea that already requires AI content to be labelled as such on release
📌Gov UK won't "intervene" in the copyright licensing market right now, because "many stakeholders" didn't want it (who tho? 👀)
📌Gov UK to "consider" further work on barriers to enforcing IP rights
Dunno, feels like the House of Lords is right. The UK Govt is still hedging against tightening legislation, in favour of the tech giants.
But what happens when the AI models ingest everything related to all white collar jobs that require a computer? What will we do then?
