Banning under-16s online restricts access to information while creating huge privacy risks.

Instead the UK government should target the root cause of online harms.

That means tackling the business model of social media platforms – from targeted ads and algorithms to user lock-in.

Break Big Tech: Dismantle the root cause of online harms

Platforms like X, Facebook and Instagram harvest our personal data so that they can target us with ads. Their platforms are designed to keep us online, pushing out content that will keep us engaged. Their power to shape and control what we see online is not only harming children and adults but democracy itself. But we often feel locked in, not wanting to leave the spaces where we still have friends, family and followers. The Government says it’s holding Big Tech to account over online...

Heads up #ArchLinux users!

The "Atomic Arch" supply chain attack (June 9-12) compromised 400-1,500+ AUR packages with an infostealer & eBPF rootkit targeting credentials, browser data, and CI/CD secrets.

Attackers quietly adopted orphaned AUR packages and slipped in malicious PKGBUILDs. The community is actively cleaning up, but now's the time to act.

Landmark German ruling declares Google's AI Overviews are Google's own words and makes it liable for false answers

A German regional court has ruled that Google is directly liable for the content of its AI search overviews. According to the court, previous limited liability protections for search engine operators don't apply to AI overviews. In this case, Google's AI had falsely linked two publishers to fraud and made claims that didn't appear in any of the linked sources. The ruling could set a precedent for AI-generated content liability worldwide.

No spoiler hiding for this one, my loves. I need EVERYONE to see this. Boost this fucker to the MOON. Screenshot it, include my name, and spread it EVERYWHERE.

Sorry for the grim news. But I think this is important, and I want each of you in your respective countries to think about whether you'd be willing to contact your representative to tell them to pressure Canada to open the doors to trans refugees.

That's it. No changes in your countries are needed - just people willing to stand up and say "Never Again". This is the bad one. This is the Nuremberg Race Laws being enacted. This will basically strip all ability from any federally-funded entity - ANY - that allows that trans people exist.

This one, my friends, I'm sorry, but it's the choice to genocide the trans population of the US. A nice quiet one. Where we all just fade into obscurity, and are never seen again. They want to cause us so much despair that we will take care of the final solution part for them.

Please. If you give a damn about humanity, and people's rights to live as who they are...basic human dignity. Health care. Not being force-detransitioned in prisons that we've been put into because we were designated terrorists by the Nazi regime of Trump.

Just contact your rep, whoever that is, wherever that is, and start that conversation for me, okay? Just ask them to start asking questions. Of Canada. We have a chance to save literally hundreds of thousands of innocent US trans folk.

I can handle the work on this end, in Canada. I have people I can mobilise, work with. But international pressure would be an ENORMOUS help.

If you want to translate my post into your language, please do. If you DM me the text, I will re-post it myself, and take the arrows for spreading the call.

I - we - need your help.
