By pushing their kids to hiding their social media use - making them far less likely to speak up to their parents if they experience abuse 🙄
Parents would prefer you hold the billionaire tech bros accountable and actually regulate them into restricting use by paedos and perverts
Anne Read: "of course I do not class myself as a terrorist. I accept that I am classed as one by a govt that supports terrorist regimes"
Trudi Warner: "One of the tricks that authoritarian govts play is to label opponents.. as terrorists"
Both women were arrested yesterday.
Extremely frustrating that this was so obvious miles away and that anyone with a functioning brain was sounding the alarm for years (really, decades) but so many people wanted to be puritan cattle that they cheered us getting here and are still cheering now
When I was too ill to go to school my council left me without education for 18 months. If it hadn’t been able to access educational content on YouTube like Mr Bruff and Free Science Lessons, I would never have passed my GCSEs.
This is going to harm disabled children.
🚨 BREAKING: Everyone who joined our NHS–Palantir campaign has now had a reply from NHS England's Data Protection Officer.
In writing, they confirmed:
▸ Palantir staff can access identifiable patient data before it's pseudonymised
▸ There is no opt-out from the Federated Data Platform
▸ Your Article 21 right to object has been formally refused
They've confirmed it. They won't change it.
Next step: a formal ICO complaint, citing their own response.
We're building a one-click escalation tool for campaign participants. Watch this space.
JD Vance: "If you go back to every major conflict in human history, they all end with some kind of negotiation."
Lawrence O'Donnell: "No. They didn't.
WWII ended with ZERO negotiations."
How is Yale Law-educated JD Vance so f*cking stupid?
Australian World Cup fans were caught chanting:
“Aussie boys are on a bender, Donald Trump is a sex offender.”
The tournament is barely underway and the chants are already in midseason form. 💀
Claire Kerrison was arrested at 4:33am from her Brighton home for sending emails concerning 'israel's' genocide in Gaza to her MP Peter Kyle.
Four police officer raided her home on 17 June 2025. They seized her electronics. Held her for over eight hours with no one knowing where she was. Released her on strict bail. Charged her in late 2025 under the Communications Act.
The case dragged on for a full year. She faced multiple court hearings including not-guilty pleas.
The emails were described by those who read them as articulate and non-abusive— simply expressing horror at events in Gaza.
The man who triggered the police complaint? Her own constituency MP, Peter Kyle:
- Britain's trade minister responsible for arms exports to 'israel'.
- Long standing member and previous vice-chair of Labour Friends of 'israel'
Kyle has been accused of breaching the Ministerial Code by failing to declare his LFI membership in the official List of Ministerial Interests for 18 months despite the clear conflict.
The case was finally dismissed yesterday, with costs awarded to Claire Kerrison.
This is why British politicians who are paid/influenced by the 'israel' lobby must be banned from public office.

Im convinced this inclusion of YouTube in the social media ban is because no kid is watching traditional tv channels and the networks (especially the BBC) are terrified
It’s purely a coincidence that the only place to find reliable (non-legacy media) information pertaining to Israel, Palestine, Epstein Files, Climate Change, COVID etc is social media and that governments around the world are banning access to this for our younger generations.
> Give 16 year olds the vote because they are historically Labour supporting
> Absolutely nuke any chances of them ever voting for Labour
Masterful gambit Sir Keir
🚨 For anyone tracking the under-16 social media bans in Canada and the UK, you might have noticed the government suddenly walking back some specific wording.
They backed off forcing you to upload credit cards or facial scans because of the public backlash, and now they’re pushing a "backend token system". It sounds less intrusive on the surface, but here is the truth about what that actually means, because most people are being completely misled by that marketing:
A cryptographic token isn't a magic, anonymous poker chip. To work, a token has to be anchored to something verified. That means your physical device, your phone carrier contract, or your real identity is permanently tethered to that token.
Every single time your phone throws that token to let you log into an app, it logs exactly who you are, where you are, and what you're doing.
It isn't a privacy shield to protect kids. It's a digital passport that tracks an adult's every move across the internet.
Banning YouTube for teenagers is obviously nuts. Clearly no one is using TikTok for educational purposes but YouTube is for everything! Why the hell would you try to stop 14 year olds accessing guitar tutorials? History documentaries? News clips?
Scotland formally adopted the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child in 2024, which includes Article 17, “every child has the right to reliable information from a variety of sources”
@LevAkabas 3 of these are cultural (Australia's national colors are green and gold despite the Commonwealth flag, Netherlands represents the House of Orange, and New Zealand's national colors are black and white/silver)
...and then there's Japan, who wear blue out of superstition.
