@owenjonesjourno The talking points about ideology over patients creasing me. This is a company that posted a straight up fascist manifesto on main, why should we be expected to enrol their services lol

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@Vynestra @ElFavelaKing @Krexxal Blizzard have been lazy asf with classic what are ya smoking? 90% of sod assets were recycled content, legit bare minimum. All well and good thinking privs are stealing but they have objectively ran hoops around blizz content wise for years lmao

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@CentristRally18 @stereogum All they've done is cap the no of scrobbles to a no. that is actually realistic (used to be around 3k, nobody listens to that many tunes in a day) & change the global top to reflect users instead of scrobbles. If you were manually scrobbling 3k in a day, you're a bot lol

@chartradar_ Between this and the rabid twitter reaction to the Fantano / Halsey stuff, the sheer amount of mental illness on display from so called 'stans' is actually beyond lol. Couldn't imagine your entire identity being tied up in this stuff 🤣

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@sugeknightmez Been a fan of Fantano for years so figured I may have blinders on this. My gf has never heard of him and used to listen to Halsey so showed her the review, and she was in disbelief that people on twitter somehow think what he said is misogynistic in any way 😂

@hitmontophat27 @FullOfGraceUS @PopCrave FR, to say that he doesn't like pop music is just absolute delusion 🤣

.@MikeTappTweets, nine questions. Each yes or no.

1) Did the International Criminal Court issue arrest warrants on 21 November 2024 against Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, including the use of starvation as a method of warfare? Yes or no.

2) Is the United Kingdom a state party to the Rome Statute, legally obligated to arrest Netanyahu if he enters British territory? Yes or no.

3) Has the UK government continued to license arms exports to the State of Israel since those warrants were issued? Yes or no.

4) Has the UK government continued diplomatic and political cooperation with the government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu since those warrants were issued? Yes or no.

5) Does the United Kingdom's existing criminal legislation, including the International Criminal Court Act 2001, contain offences applicable to those who provide assistance to persons under ICC arrest warrant for war crimes? Yes or no.

6) Could a UK government minister who has personally and publicly endorsed the continuation of arms exports and political cooperation with a government headed by an ICC indictee face individual legal exposure under those same provisions? Yes or no.

7) Is it the case, as documented by the Campaign Against Arms Trade and Transparency International UK, that the United Kingdom maintains an extensive and ongoing revolving door between government and the arms industry, including the movement of former ministers and senior Ministry of Defence officials into companies that profit from continued UK arms exports to the State of Israel? Yes or no.

8) Does Section 53 of the International Criminal Court Act 2001 require the consent of the Attorney General, a political officer of the government, before any prosecution under that Act can be brought? Yes or no.

9) Does the availability of procedural or constitutional defences to government ministers acting in their official capacity alter the underlying factual conduct of those ministers? Yes or no.

If the answer to each of the above is yes, the following should be happening under the United Kingdom's own legal and policy framework.

The Strategic Export Licensing Criteria requires the government not to issue or maintain licences where there is a clear risk that the items might be used to commit or facilitate serious violations of international humanitarian law. The government has already made that assessment for around thirty licences.

The ICC arrest warrants, and the charges they contain, materially strengthen the case that this risk applies more broadly. Full suspension of the remaining relevant licences is the only position consistent with the UK's own published rules.

Continued authorisation of exports in these circumstances also raises serious questions about potential ancillary liability under the International Criminal Court Act 2001. An investigation by the Attorney General into ministerial decision-making, with knowledge of the ICC warrants, would be the appropriate next step.

Parliament has a duty to hold individual ministers to account for these decisions.

None of this is happening.

Tell us, Tapp, why none of this is happening?

@MikeTappTweets @ZackPolanski Disgusting, evil man

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@AvaSantina Like, I am so diametrically opposed to the majority of views held by Reform / Restore supporters, but I have to say that they're right on this one. Agree with children not having social media access in principle, but there is too much at stake for this terrible implementation

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@AvaSantina Don't get how so few lefties are voicing concerns around the enforcement of this. The simple question of 'how will they implement this' opens up a whole rabbit hole of privacy invasion and breaches of our civil rights in the name of a half arsed child safety law that won't work?

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@synistrall @AaronBastani @JonHaidt This is where I stand!Accept that social media is fucking terrible for children, but how do you enforce this without absolutely stomping on the rights and privacy of all adults in the country? If it isn't possible, just shouldn't happen. Not worth the loss of our civil liberties.

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@EO_Halloran Principle of keeping children safe obvs good. Implementation is key, and this is obvs just a backdoor to forcing digital ID onto the population lol. Why should I be forced to provide ID / biometrics to a sketch third party to access a service that was previously accessible to me?

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@narindertweets @Whateve13324111 I'm as far left / liberal as you could get, bottom left on pol compass. Imo, terrible state overreach and legislation which will intrude into the lives of people this isn't even supposed to impact. This isn't a left / right issue. Watch them try to come for vpns next

[Brad Bennett @BradBennett95]

@AaronBastani Idea that just because something is codified in religious texts, it should be immune from scrutiny is ridiculous. Mutilating someone without consent for non medical reasons is disgusting - I'd argue against halal and kosher meat too. Barbarism doesn't belong in the modern age!

@basedbinary Imagine paying to boost this

[Labour Digital Rights Network @LabDRN]

You cannot verify someone is over 18 without collecting data, and you cannot block specific types of imagery without monitoring private communications.

These claims make no sense.

[Big Brother Watch @BigBrotherWatch]

👁️Keir Starmer is forcing tech companies to restrict devices within THREE months, unless you undergo ID checks.

These are calls for extreme technological censorship & require rigorous public and parliamentary scrutiny that is currently totally missing

Starmer seems to be advocating client-side scanning. This would be devastating for privacy, civil liberties, free expression and other human rights.

Nothing -- no number of nude pictures opened by children -- is worth that. We must oppose this move with everything.
