Excellent news. And good on the guardian for highlighting that this was a *colonial* law.

What harrowing times we live in. It would appear that now physical punishment for children is outlawed, schools (run by 'multi-academy trusts', ie businesses) are using psychological punishment as a 'cost-effective' way of dealing with misbehaviour.
@aral @bnjbvr where would you recommend the best explanations of #instances? There's a lot to learn, and it's something that outside of the fediverse I haven't seen at all.
@[email protected] i don't know but i believe we are @ different ones right now and we appear to be interacting so that's great!?
sooooooo is there much of a #LabourParty scene on here yet? 👀 🎈
@[email protected] hello this is me doing a toot @ u!! i didn't really understand the whole #instances thing very well but I'm glad to see that hopefully being in one doesn't mean you can't interact with people in others?? which is good cos i was like hmm i don't know at all which one of these to tick!!

We can, at the moment, get on with our lives relatively painfree whilst our data is being used... of course, things could massively change, and I am particularly concerned about eg incarceration and restriction of rights based on identity, views, etc which could be done through data access and ownership... but this is still different from the nature of the horrors of slavery eg in 19th C Americas

@aral That makes sense... only reservation about that vocab though is the history of the terminology, particularly in terms of race? Is it okay for us to refer to our data being owned and used without our consent for the profit of others (bad) using the same word that referred to mass physical (and sexual) violent abuse and exploitation of people?
