The Left offers this, the Right offers Spite and Grift.
It's a shame there are no left media outlets to talk about this instead of White Nationalism

Oh, and the Scottish Greens are on Mastodon, unlike everyone else. They actually live it, rather than talk it.

Someone needs to go and show all the flag-waving Farage-worshipping gammons causing a scene outside of UK hotels housing asylum seekers this video:

https://nebula.tv/videos/tldrnewsuk-did-brexit-create-the-uks-asylum-crisis/

All about how your glorious leader's plan "Brexit" actually has caused MORE asylum seekers in the UK.

And yet you come for the asylum seekers and not the charlatan at the top who is spinning poor policy, lies and fear.

The UK Online Safety Act is a badly designed, overblown piece of legislation that's laying waste to content online.

Ofcom must take stock of these threats to freedom of expression in their guidance and Parliament must reform the Act.

The UK Online Safety Act is an unworkable mess 💩

Can it be changed? And if so, is there the political will to do it?

Instead of doubling down on more censorship, Ofcom and the government must take steps to protect freedom of expression.

How do you solve a problem like the UK Online Safety Act? 😵‍💫

ORG is calling for a rights-based approach.

One that limits the scope of the OSA to minimise threats to free expression and regulates the age verification industry to protect privacy.

Analysis: Israel's intent to annihilate Gaza would have been clear had we listened to Palestinian journalists, rather than the BBC.

Israel’s justification for the mass slaughter of Gazans was built on "easily discredited lies from the start: of beheaded infants, of babies in ovens, of mass rape."

"It should surprise no one that Israel continued advancing similarly outrageous lies..."

Report: "Western media manufactured consent for Israel’s killing of Gaza journalists"

"The US media watchdog, Fair, found evidence of UK & US media delegitimising Palestinian voices."

"The establishment media overall centered Israel’s narrative, tried to delegitimize pro-Palestinian sources, & did not contextualize the killings within the larger context of the genocide”.

Content takedowns under the UK Online Safety Act could go further ⚠️

Damaging free expression has knock-on effects. It limits what we get to know about in the public interest and how we can hold power to account.

The UK regulator Ofcom is consulting on the use of proactive tech to scan, check and remove content before people even see it.

Combined with the weak protection for free expression in the Online Safety Act, the UK public risk facing widespread censorship online.

Tell your MP it has to change ⬇️

An excerpt of text from an article saying: Luckily, we don’t have to imagine the scene because the High Court judgment details the last government’s reaction when it discovered this potentially rather large flaw. First, we are told, the relevant secretary of state (Michelle Donelan) expressed “concern” that the legislation might whack sites such as Amazon instead of Pornhub. In response, officials explained that the regulation in question was “not primarily aimed at … the protection of children”, but was about regulating “services that have a significant influence over public discourse”, a phrase that rather gives away the political thinking behind the act. They suggested asking Ofcom to think again and the minister agreed.
