To be clear I will not be removing information about “other social networks” from my profile. If Twitter suspend my profile, so be it.

What they are suggesting is obviously anti-competitive and bullying; competition authorities need to start taking note.

A few comments on the Open Rights submission on the Online Safety Act: https://t.co/ZNomKTD8ez .../1

[Victoria Collins MP @TweetingCollins]

We must get online safety right! Lord Clement Jones and I have written a letter to the Secretary of State regarding our concerns about the implementation of the Online Safety Act, calling for a cross-party committee, from both Houses, to ensure effective implementation.

[@[email protected] @jimkillock]

I agree.

Just went to some adult websites and looked into the first two age verification platforms I came across;

- The first is incorporated in Seychelles
- The second is incorporated in Cyprus

Neither have a presence on companies house, both have fake UK forwarding addresses only.

This is who you are being asked to entrust with your;

- porn habits (potentially)
- biometric data / selfie
- personal Identification

They promise to delete all data.

OK - how will they be held to account if they don't?

Who knew?! ICO post-#Leveson #journalism & #dataprotection review was published in March 2024 without announcement. Report could come to no conclusion as to general #GDPR compliance, yet @iconews made no use of investigatory powers Sch 17 DPA gave it https://t.co/jbQvheasvG

@OrlandoRadice Hi there, https://t.co/lqQzfxrqOQ a bit hopeless these days, DMs cost a subscription etc but hoping you notice this - I've emailed in what I hope is a story

[Open Rights Group @OpenRightsGroup]

The government has admitted that it cannot proceed with scanning private messages safely.

So why are ministers telling the media that they still believe they can? Time to come clean and stop promoting magical theories. #onlinesafetybill #encryption #osb

🔥IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

The head of the Government-appointed think-tank that was chartered to review "client side scanning" child safety filters for encrypted messengers, just threw all those technologies under the bus.

Threads launches today with the promise of working with other services like Mastodon.

Will Meta's new platform live up to the potential of a federated network, or end up just being the Threadiverse?

[Open Rights Group @OpenRightsGroup]

🔴 Give a little, they'll take a lot.

Powers in the Online Safety Bill can and will be stretched by the government to scan our messages for whatever they want.

Our Exec Director @jimkillock explains why the Lords must stop the spy clause.

@DamianCollins up for a debate? @BBCNews you in? I know tech, I know the tech business model, & I'm happy to lay out the basics, go into detail in a more spacious forum. This could be helpful, because right now I'm seeing a lot of confusion and some flatly untrue statements.
