I think people should share as many videos of the CEO of Palantir speaking as possible because no one makes a better case for the abolition of his industry

Is it safe for kids when their parents get bankrupted by identity theft from having to submit their personal information to use every site and it gets leaked because the companies based abroad lie about deleting the data?
Good news to see the Gov clamp down even further on online platforms to protect children from illegal content and other harms.
As tech and AI rapidly adapts, the law must keep up.

Nick Stone died after contact with the cops defending the far right group Bristol Patriots. This is the same group that attacked the Red Lion in BS5 yesterday. The cops threatened anyone who tried to leave the pub with arrest for "breach of the peace" and let the fascists stay there for an hour.

I didn't think Starmer would survive these 2 weeks or so but I was mostly just taking the opportunity to joke and engage in wishful thinking. Now the local elections are uncancelled, which is more egg on his face itself, he has to be done for when those results come in?

Absolute insane take that not wanting to expose yourself to doxxing or identity theft is the same as wearing a balaclava. Journalist of the year here.
Why would you "have a chat" by lobbing insults at someone who can hear everything you are saying while hiding your identities in the Internet version of wearing a balaclava? I mean this is a classic example of how social media can be damaging for children.

Is it good that the prime minister doesn't seem to know anything about what everyone around him is doing? Associating with paedophiles, more associating with paedophiles, stalking etc

i notice that we've gone from 'controlled migration' to 'zero net migration' without anyone in the political arena blinking, so i expect all the fascist accounts posting about remigration to begin to get a platform in the press.
Lmfao *ofc* Ford's advice to the Labour Party is to continue trying to out-fash the fash & go toe to toe with them on the racisms bcos once the racists have gotten everything they've crybullied for they will simply magically stop salivating for the fascisms & gratefully vote Labour

In 2005 Rod Liddle was arrested and accepted a caution for assaulting his pregnant girlfriend. He continues to have a career in journalism because the British press is fine with violent misogynists.
Reminder that Rob Liddle said he couldn't be a teacher because he would try to rape the kids

Rod Liddle
At the height of the madness, from which I think we are now in merciful and terminal retreat, a Scottish schoolboy announced that he identified as a wolf and was apparently indulged in this fantasy by his teachers. There was a confusion here — a kind of ideologyversus-reality disconnect, as so often happens with lifestyle-left intersectional idiocies.
If the teachers had truly believed the child was a wolf he would have been separated from the rest of the pupils by extremely robust metal fencing and thrown chunks of raw bison every few hours. Of course the school did not do that, meaning that in truth, and contrary to the approved narrative, it did not really think he was a wolf.
At the same time reports surfaced of other British schools where kids were identifying as a multitude of creatures, real and imagined, such as cats, horses, dinosaurs and dragons. One assumes that in each case the schools responded similarly, by pretending to respect these expressions of the fictional condition “species dysphoria” but in reality not believing it for a minute.
