WARNING - Remember when I told you about Client side scanning? (Original post below)
On 9 November, the government confirmed it is preparing legislation to put this technology into smartphone operating systems, switched ON by default.
existing phones will receive it through software updates. Adults would have to prove they’re over 18 to switch it OFF.
The EU has been pushing similar proposals under “Chat Control”.
It means software will inspect images and content on your device, before you send them or even view them.
In June, the government was asked whether this technology could also be used to detect and block ‘hate’ speech and other text content. It confirmed it would consider wider uses.
Which means, with Ofcom’s new rules on responding to ‘crisis’ situations, the technology could be expanded to prevent you from sharing content the authorities decide is unacceptable.
Instead of censoring you after you post it, they could stop you posting it in the first place.
But you still have free speech obvs 🙄
Over the past week, Gas generated 59.3% of Britain’s electricity. Wind 13.5% and solar 1.9%.
… and that’s just electricity. In total 75.2% of energy demand was from fossil fuel.
Yet the government wants you to believe we will be energy secure and independent AND prices will come down, you just have to belieeeeeve 🤡
We have 31 GW of installed wind power. The grid cant handle more than 24GW. So of course the best thing to do is build another 4GW. When over the past week wind has produced on average 3GW. At least Martin Lewis has given the country his tactical curtains advice.
@spurscc Fair shout. However as best as possible given your Ref experience and mostly because you are a spurs fan, turn the tables, how would you feel if this was the other way around. Just curious.
@spurscc Personally I feel this sort of tackle (genuine attempt for the ball) falls between a yellow and a red only on the basis of where it caught the opposing player. But we shall see.
You can cancel an election and ban the winner from running (Romania), you can ban your opponents from ever running again (Hungary), you can threaten to ban the main opposition party and subject it to relentless investigations by the secret police (Germany), you can threaten a ban on the leading presidential candidate and make them wear an ankle monitor (France), every member of your circle can be investigated for corruption (Spain), you can try and cancel local elections because you will lose them (Britain), and you can storm the constitutional court with riot police because you want to control it (Poland).
You can just do all these things. The secret is you just have to be on the right side of the European Commission.
National Minimum Wage.
If you're 21+ = £12.71/hr:
- 40 hours = £508.40 gross
- That's £2,033.60 for 4 weeks, or £26,436.80 a year if you do 40hrs every week
Why work?
@PolitlcsUK 'Poorer households on benefits will receive extra help with energy bills before January's sharp rises'
What about poorer households where adults are in f/t work, not on benefits, but struggling to stay afloat?
It's about rewarding people on benefits.
