#savespeech #stopKOSA #NoToDigitalID Friday FYI - KOSA/KIDS Act As of now, no hearing in the Senate is up for KOSA/KIDS Act/Blackburn's KOSA Package. Cruz has a markup Wed. But it does not include either. KEEP CALLING. WE WILL STOP THEM IF WE FIGHT BACK. badinternetbills.com

Ditch meta platforms.

But also remember, the best way to opt-out is to leave Instagram.

It's baffling me that meta is pushing for biometric data harvesting laws, specifically so that they know which users of theirs are human, an yet...they've decided to allow users to use their AI to spoof the identity of other users? Just completely braindead shit.

BREAKING NEWS: Small otter thinks it’s a cat, but nobody really minds and everyone has a great time.

The Labour Party really hates disabled people, huh? All of these social media bans have been especially awful for us, who rely more on the internet as a means to socialise in ways we wouldn't be able to otherwise. Still can't help but feel like this is a fully intended and desired side-effect.

Questions for people that still buy physical media: Do you keep the cardboard sleeves that some bluray and dvd boxes come in? Or do you decide based on what the sleeve looks like?

Another day in "when will she ever learn?" Skipped a dose of sequestrant earlier, so now I'm feeling the consequence of my inaction. It hurts so bad, guys. 😭

Today, the EU Ombudsman opened an inquiry into the Commission's decision to keep important meetings with businesses secret. Their motive: to do proposals for deregulation without having to consider other interests than business interests. EUObserver has the story: euobserver.com/226371/eu-wa...

This is going to make me sound like a simpleton, but I wish more books were faithfully adapted into graphic novels.

Omg! Laika's Wildwood looks wildly awesome!! 🤩 youtu.be/gZy36NLObaU

Space buns are so cute and attractive.

I would rather see a world lead by scientists, charity volunteers, artists and doctors than professional politicians, shareholders and billionaires. By a mile.

Our current world is defined by the fact that the worst among us have endless wealth and power, while the best among us feel powerless.

The UK is Taking Over YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQVP...

Framing it as something only the extreme right-wing care about is wild. If anyone across the political spectrum wanted to watch legacy media, then they would be. The fix to this would be that legacy media actually make good content, instead of making the framework to force themselves onto people.

"Pornography" implies consent, except children cannot consent. That's why "child sexual exploitation and abuse material" makes more sense in the context of highlighting abuse, and is why we've shifted to it. You don't have to abbreviate it, but definitely use the correct term, please and thank you.

Tomorrow is 6/7 for Brits, brace yourselves.

Review the "Watch this space" proposal here: www.gov.uk/government/c... Answer the survey here: dcms.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_... You are all allowed to participate in the survey, no matter where you're from, so follow Deep Humor's video above if you need help with answering the questions.

Every time I take a break for my mental health, the UK government decides to make shit a million times worse. When "Do Only Evil" Google is worried about our government's bull, and the end of the "You" in YouTube, you know something is very, very wrong. Share. rsvp.withgoogle.com/events/keep-...

Funny thing is, governments fund this kind of thing because they want to be able to use cyber attacks against their enemies. Constant own-goals. They haven't gotten it through their thick skulls that, whenever they invest in the development of things like this, it will be used against them.

🇪🇺🤡 Insane! Italy warns against #chatcontrol mass surveillance, but votes FOR it! 🤯 2 days left: Stop the coup! ✍️ Take action: https://fightchatcontrol.eu/#contact-tool 📄 EU doc: https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-11513-2026-INIT/en/pdf

I'm sick and tired of content creators I admired taking a sharp turn into one type of extremism or another.

So, I've been enjoying BOZE vs the WORLD content for a while now, for a good few years, and over the past few months, I've noticed that she's been increasingly pro-AI surveillance state. It's disappointing.

Horimiya but make it Gay and Green is getting what as their opening theme?!

This is because it's not about safety nor protection, but instead about: 1. Confirming ads are being served to humans instead of bots, for advertisers. 2. Collecting more PII to train AI with and sell, for corporations. 3. Building a surveillance state, for authoritarian governments.

Me: Aside from internet stuff, what's been happening in the UK recently? News: Councils order Brits to remove aircon units from their homes under netzero clampdown. Hahahahaha...get fucked, you actual fucking cunts. (Take w/ a pinch of salt, since it's being primarily reported by RW media.)

I had never heard of Molly Russell until right now. I just read up a bit on it quickly, so I guess grain of salt on what I'm gonna say but... I like how social media pro-suicide content is being blamed rather than tje factors that lead to her wanting to do that. I have struggled with depression...

There's a reason why all the cyberpunk stuff is about finding a way underneath all the bullshit that's been layered on top of the fundamental technologies… we'll either find a way through all the crap that's ruining the Internet, or we'll rebuild from scratch. The ingenuity can't be contained.
