This means if you're in the UK and haven't signed this yet, please do. At 100k signatures they have to discuss it again.

Literally the least you can do!!

UK Gouvernment: Payment Processors Can Ban NSFW Content
According to the UK treasury, payment processors are in the right and the gouvernment has no plans to step in. This puts it in direct contrast to what artists and the UK games industry have asked for.

The heritage foundation is not just limited to America's politics . It's the whole reason why these censorship campaigns have sprouted up all over Europe as well.

Their goal is to control culture through politics...

Canadians! The UK is attempting to push their own version of the Online Safety Act onto Canada via the bill S-209!

You need to contact your representatives in parliament and explain how this policy is catastrophically bad! Mention the discord data breach!

As someone from the UK, I can confirm that the OSA is an extremely bad piece of legislation and it's brought nothing but trouble when it was implemented.

Would hate to see this spread elsewhere, do your part Canadians!

Alright y'all, so I had this essay about the current era of the internet and the hypocrisy from all sides about children on social media in my head for months.

This is actually my first time writing an essay like this so uhm, it would be cool if you read it 👉👈

That's what UK Lord James Bethell said he wanted Big Tech to support with age verification efforts, while speaking to a Canadian Committee as they debated S-209.

The UK(and France) are pushing other countries to impliment AV bills similar to the UKOSA. Privacy will be invaded. Data will be leaked. Adult content shrinks.

Call your MPs in Canada. Tell them "Vote NO on S-209."

Penelope Rankin: "There's no way parents can handle this."

Bullshit. Dont give them a smart device. Keep them away from the internet. Firewall devices and content.

Give more power back to the parents. Stop pushing censorous, moral panic laws that ultimately fail to "protect the kids."

Voting isn’t the solution unto itself, but it’s critically important at the local level.

There will be 52,000 elections held next month alone, and many will be determined purely by turnout.

You know what to do.

The ambiguous grey line nuance of the "get the bag" ideology while trying to exist in a capitalist system where the bag is your means of survival vs "chasing the bag" when you are not at risk and taking a bag from anyone unscrupulously, despite both ostensibly performing the same actions.

hi UKer here. I worked up the courage to write to my MP (even though her responses are usually dismissive and toe the government line) including links to some articles about this privacy disaster.

UK oomfs I urge you to find your MP and do the same thing.

None of these loser-ass, fascist-ass policies and rules and laws are set in stone! None of them are DESTINED to pass, nor are they now a permanent fabric of our universe for the ones who are enacted!

A small victory! Chat Control has been tabled for now, but it can [and likely will] be brought up for vote again in December

In the meantime, EU citizens will need to continue pressuring their respective govts to oppose chat control

However, do so knowing that pressure WORKS.

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 2d

Denmark has tabled next week's vote on Chat Control.

Yet, per Peter Hummelgaard:

"The Danish Presidency will, however, continue to work with the member states to find a solution, and therefore negotiations on the technical details of the proposal continue. It is urgent to find common ground."

Dont be discouraged by the fact a vote can be done again in Dec.

It has been tabled because we as a group organized against it. We did that! You did that! This is a W!

This is a thing we can beat! You made it bleed!

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things

if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.
