This thread is a goldmine if you'd like tips on influential women of tech to include in your twitter feed.

@34SP I've not been able to retrieve email or load your website since about 05:00 but latest incident on https://t.co/dfYCjiwqAE appears to be from April. Is it just me..?

1/ Welcome to #TheWeekInOSB for 2023/09/01, an overview of #OnlineSafetyBill developments using a format lovingly stolen from @russincheshire but without the jokes because some things are beyond parody.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT:

This morning the UK Government got (bought?) a front page puff-piece in @TheTimes to push it's anti-encryption, anti-privacy agenda.

As far as I can determine the only reaction so far has been a call-out on Radio4, and one Tweet about Braverman.

[Matthew Green @matthew_d_green]

Tech firms’ desire to control their platforms is really the biggest threat to freedom everywhere. It creates a small number of chokepoints that governments are learning to exploit. Very few authoritarians could have built such a convenient system by themselves.

WTF is it considered news that an otherwise clothed woman isn't wearing a bra? @MENnewsdesk and @TheSun : «Holly Willoughby beams as she moves on from This Morning drama» conveys all we need to know (although, that too is questionable). #sexism #objectification

Abolish the monarchy, not the right to protest

As we speak the whole core team of Republic is still being detained. We are not given a reason. They will probably be released when the whole monarchy pr-show is over.

I look forward to the mid/late 2030s, when Hollywood remakes #Footloose about "that time in the 2020s when they tried to stop the kids talking to each other"

I hope @kevinbacon is still acting & can do a cameo.

Maybe a #Hackers crossover, too?

@RachJA22 @thameswater Same here, in SE5

[sheilaellen @sheilaellen]

@hernehillforum @thameswater @JimDicksLambeth Still no mains water supply to our home and others in SE5 and SE24. No update from @thameswater since 07:45 this morning. I just phoned to see if I could get an ETA for when it might be back on and got cut off after holding for 24 mins without speaking to anyone.

@MahyarTousi Why shouldn't they? If you want the patients to be treated, then you should be angry at the government for allowing the situation to get so bad that nurses have gone on strike for the first time in history.

[Thrubeingcool @Thrubeingcool2]

@MahyarTousi enough said !

[Sharon O'Dea @sharonodea]

When EIon took over I said Twitter would be ok as commercial imperative to make money would mean it wouldn’t change much.

That take has aged like a bag of salad left in the bottom of the fridge.

@ATabarrok I can make instant transfers and payments with my bank account.

So can anybody in the UK with a typical current account.

So can most people in Europe, and many other places around the world.

This isn’t new or revolutionary; it’s been standard banking for years.

If you ever played werewolf / mafia with family & friends, #bbc ‘s #traitors is a televised version of it and well worth a watch!

Today is #internationalllamaday apparently.

@SocGenealogists A walk by the whole household at some point on Xmas day.
