🚨 Breaking: @RoyalMail business courier service updates their form and labels Gaza as israel, going against UN and even UK recognition of Gaza as Palestinian land.
why the hell is the Met Commissioner allowed to do the talk show rounds denouncing his boss lol. Basic norms of governance just collapsing in real time
The UK went from “we need to stop kids from watching porn” to actual dystopian mass surveillance in the span of two years
Digital ID is the slipperiest slope of all time
The UK government spyware demand means that the government decides exactly what should be censored on every mobile device. They say they will start with nude pictures (if you don’t identify yourself as an adult). But it could at any time be expanded to anything the government disapproves of. Today, 30 people are arrested every day in the United Kingdom for writing something online that the government classifies as "grossly offensive". It is obvious that they will use this tool to restrict free speech.
Currently, there appears to be no requirement to report findings outside the device. However, with both legal and technological decision-making power taken away from individuals and transferred to the government, that is only a pen stroke away.
This means that the government could also use this system for total mass surveillance.
And they can do so in secret.
The government recently, in secret, tried to pressure Apple (which is now agreeing to client-side scanning) to build backdoors into its end-to-end encrypted cloud service. They can do this under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, also known as the "Snoopers' Charter" – a law that makes it illegal for tech companies to disclose secret demands from the government.
🚨 NEW: The University of Nottingham has suffered a "serious" data breach affecting its campuses in the UK, China and Malaysia
Students' personal and financial information are now up for sale on the dark web
seriously how much more evidence do people need that this isn’t for the kids. It’s so freaking blatant kids are being used to implement surveillance and censorship.
To make sure British citizens realise what's going on, Palantir can now:
• Build and run the National Firearms Registry, tracking the addresses and medical files of 500,000 gun and explosives holders across all 43 police forces.
• Map your digital footprint by trialling police systems (like Project Nectar) that pull your texts, call logs, emails, and social media data into a single profile.
• Track your physical movements by linking live number plate trackers, CCTV locations, and mobile phone tower pings.
• Process unverified intelligence by feeding anonymous tips and police notes about who you meet into automated linking models.
• Profile police officers using data-matching tools that actively scrape the device logs, vehicle uses, and system logins of a force's own employees.
• Access direct NHS data through a £330 million contract, using admin privileges that let engineers view patient environments before the files are scrambled (pseudonymised).
This is the same Palantir used to coordinate the largest simultaneous terrorist attack in history by the IOF in Lebanon.
This is the same Palantir used by the IOF since 2014 and actively being used in Gaza.
The US tech giant will take over the duty from all 43 police forces, including the Met Police, despite Sadiq Khan blocking a deal a few weeks ago
