I have put up a new music video for my endirtified remix of @shannoncurtis 's anthem One Thread. Dipping a toe back in the water after soo many peertube collapses. More videos and lives to come. And by that I mean, what if you showed a room of primates only 120 Minutes, Amp'd, Curve and Skinny Puppy videos for a fortnight straight, then chucked 3 broken VHS decks at them and said make a music video. Hi.

The new covers album is quietly soft launched to supporters. You can donate what you can to my gaffers tape and food fund and get a code for early access which helps me heaps before I make it like the entire catalogue free or donate what you can. You may preview with the project and track lore at:

Hope to see you at the things. Stomp in Solidarity.

Ofcom is flexing its powers in the UK Online Safety Act to impose age verification on anyone who livestreams.

That means locking down accounts of under-18s and forcing everyone else to submit to privacy intrusive age checks.

We can't allow the Online Safety Act to ransom your privacy for free speech.

The limit does not exist when it comes to the UK Online Safety Act.

Ofcom is pushing at the edges of this law to age-gate livestreaming. This will prevent young content creators from engaging with audiences and put a lid on self-expression.

Ofcom (UK) could disconnect livestreamers from audiences.

New age verification proposals mean anyone who doesn't prove they're over 18 will be cut off from comments, reactions, recordings or gifts on their streams.

Tell the consultation: no more censorship ⬇️

WTF!!! #DHS Tells #Police That Common #Protest Activities Are ‘Violent Tactics’

DHS is urging law enforcement to treat even #skateboarding and #livestreaming as signs of violent intent during a protest, turning everyday behavior into a pretext for police action.

By Dell Cameron, Jul 10, 202

"The #DepartmentOfHomelandSecurity is urging local police to consider a wide range of protest activity as violent tactics, including mundane acts like riding a #bike or livestreaming a police encounter, WIRED has learned.

"WIRED has made this article free for all to read because it is primarily based on reporting from Freedom of Information Act requests [#FOIA]. Please consider subscribing to support our journalism.

"Threat bulletins issued during last month’s '#NoKings' #protests warn that the US government’s aggressive immigration raids are almost certain to accelerate domestic unrest, with DHS saying there’s a 'high likeliness' more Americans will soon turn against the agency, which could trigger #confrontations near federal sites.

"Blaming intense media coverage and backlash to the US military deployment in #LosAngeles, DHS expects the #demonstrations to 'continue and grow across the nation' as #protesters focused on other issues shift to #immigration, following a broad 'embracement of #AntiICE messaging.'

"The bulletins—first obtained by the national security nonprofit #PropertyOfThePeople through public records requests—warn that officers could face assaults with fireworks and improvised weapons: #paint-filled fire extinguishers, smoke grenades, and projectiles like #bottles and #rocks.

"At the same time, the guidance urges officers to consider a range of #nonviolent behavior and common #ProtestGear—like #masks, #flashlights, and #cameras—as potential precursors to violence, telling officers to prepare 'from the point of view of an adversary.'

"Protesters on #bicycles, #skateboards, or even 'on foot' are framed as potential 'scouts' conducting reconnaissance or searching for 'items to be used as weapons.' #Livestreaming is listed alongside ' #doxxing' as a 'tactic' for 'threatening' police. Online posters are cast as ideological #recruiters—or as participants in 'surveillance sharing.'

"One list of 'violent tactics' shared by the Los Angeles–based Joint Regional Intelligence Center—part of a post-9/11 fusion network—includes both protesters’ attempts to avoid identification and efforts to identify police. The memo also alleges that face recognition, normally a tool of law enforcement, was used against officers.

"Vera Eidelman, a senior staff attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU], says the government has no business treating #constitutionally protected activities—like #observing or #documenting police—as threats.

"#DHS did not respond to a request for comment."
