@ReclaimTheNetHQ But remember, the reason UK is pushing for mandatory ID checks online and face scanning and for chat surveillance is because they want to save the children. Totally not to control people.
This Independence Day, YouTube is pushing back at the UK gov’s censorship power grab.
Its creator alert exposes the UK's plan: force American platforms to bury independent voices and shove BBC/ITV state media down everyone’s throat.
Legacy broadcasters would get the algorithm throne at the expense of independent creators.

YouTube has exposed the UK's plans for "algorithmic intervention"—such as prioritizing traditional broadcasters in search results—and is urging creators to speak out during the public consultation period, which ends on August 31. This is a frightening scheme to directly manipulate algorithms to suit the government's agenda, and it is something every UK citizen should know about.
@AltcoinsFrance Une "possible surveillance de masse".
La Commission européenne a ouvertement comme projet politique de créer son crédit social chinois pour forcer la création d'un état fédéral européen.
🚨🇪🇺 LUNDI DÉCISIF POUR LA VIE PRIVÉE EN EUROPE !
Ce lundi 29 juin, l’UE tient le dernier round de négociations sur le « Chat Control ».
Le scan obligatoire des messages chiffrés a été retiré, mais les nouvelles mesures (vérification d’âge, obligations de réduction des risques…) inquiètent toujours les défenseurs des libertés, qui dénoncent une possible surveillance de masse sans mandat judiciaire et la fin de l’anonymat en ligne.
Signal a déjà prévenu qu’il quitterait l’UE plutôt que d’affaiblir son chiffrement.
Si un accord politique est trouvé lundi, le texte pourrait être adopté dès juillet.
Comme l’avait résumé Edward Snowden : « une mesure de surveillance de masse terrifiante ».
@NIKKE_en Is it just me, or you guys nerfed a little her chest and hips? Did she trade them with Marciana? Dunno why you are doing this recently with some units. Anis, Emma..
I'm not complaining when you increase that, but when you shrink...uh...not a fan.
@JonSchweppe Source, curated polls of selected people on selected countries with selected questions.
Curated data can be used to show whatever consensus you want. Wake up and go listen to people. People at large do not wants this.
The reason that they’re trying to age gate the entire Internet is not because everyone wants it, but because nobody does.
Parental controls exist, but nobody uses them. The Puritans among us seek to force everyone into behavior of which they approve.
These age-verification assholes don't think about the second-order effects of what they are suggesting.
Setting up new age-gating/ID requirements will require that 30 years of pre-existing + archived content online be censored, gated, or removed.
Additionally, the patchwork of legal requirements will make it impossible for anybody but the largest big tech players (with legal teams) to develop new sites and web apps. The era of the open & free hobbyist net will be over, and the big social media companies these people blame for fucking their kids up will be the only players left.
We're burning down the digital equivalent of the Library of Alexandria.
All so Little Johnny doesn't look at porn.
@nym If a proposal can't survive democratic scrutiny, it shouldn't be pushed through the back door. Privacy deserves protection, not constant compromise.
Stop Chat Control
@nym Try again until you get the answer you want is a terrible principle for raising children. It's not much better for public policy. So much for democracy.
