@LazarouThe purpose of N.A.T.O. is “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” quote Hastings Ismay, 1949

@openrightsgroup rather than spreading childrens age and location around the internet it would be far better to outlaw sites that are designed to be addictive and do harm like Facebook, X, YouTube et al.

I've changed my vocabulary around the next election. I had been saying I wasn't worried. I remain unworried about the prospect of a Reform victory, but I have come to realise I am very worried for the state of the country regardless.It feels like there's poison in the air with Reform and Greens in ascendency. Neither will win, but they'll tear the country apart regardless, and I don't see an end to the division, ignorance, and wanton undermining of our politics any time soon.

@Lazarou but the UK govt thinks "free palestine" is antisemetic? Hey UK MDs! if you get canned for opposing genocide, come to canada. We need docs! I encourage the racists to apply as well but only so they can suffer even more disappointment.

ORG calls on UK MPs to support Amendment (e) proposed by Liberty.This would address some of the most pressing concerns about the proportionality of putting the Internet behind age-based ID checkpoints.We must focus on the root causes of online harms instead of creating greater risks in power grabs. #ageverification #privacy #freedomofexpression #internet #ukpolitics #ukpol

@junesim63 and we could easily impose higher thermal loss standards, at the same time, would add about £100 to cost of average house, whilst paying for itself every year in whatever heat source is chosen. Improved ventilation requirements would reduce sickness in population so improve productivity and reduce NHS costs and waiting times, but joined up thinking is impossible for politicians.

@Lazarou my bad yall. Petey, I've got a name and address. Come by for a chat.

@gavi Yup. It's just anti-zionism though, says the artist in that piece, as he depicts Jews eating babies.

Instead of handing government contracts to predatory Big Tech, the UK should ensure we have control of our digital infrastructure.Even secure systems are fragile if a foreign company or power can pull the plug.Sign our petition for a digital sovereignty strategy that priorities UK open source ️https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop-trump-s-kill-switch-secure-our-digital-sovereignty #DigitalSovereignty #palantir #bigtech #security #ukpolitics #ukpol

VPNs help people to stay private and safe online.The UK government clearly understands this in their use of the technology to the tune of £millions.So they must pull back from attempts to age gate VPNs – a measure that will deter people from using a core cybersecurity tool.Sign and share our petition ️https://action.openrightsgroup.org/tell-government-protect-vpn-use-uk #vpn #cybersecurity #privacy #security #ukpolitics #ukpol

With the 'Nigel Cut My Bills' competition “Reform are asking the public to hand over sensitive data about their voting habits without being transparent about how it will be used."This is a clear breach of transparency obligations under UK data protection law.️ @marianods for ORG.https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/mar/17/reform-uk-may-breach-data-laws-free-energy-bills-competition#reformuk #dataprotection #gdpr #privacy #ukpolitics #ukpol

We need an immediate ban on the use of AI tools in the UK asylum process.There are many ways to clear the Home Office’s backlog of asylum cases and raise standards – these tools are not the answer.The UK government must not automate the hostile environment for migrants with AI.Write to your MP ️https://action.openrightsgroup.org/ban-ai-tools-asylum-decision-making #asylum #ai #migrants #homeoffice #ukpolitics #ukpol

@openrightsgroup UK needs to start to demonstrate it isn’t the US’s little lapdog pretty soon… I mean the rest of Europe, we ain’t so sure about that.

@DrEdBridges Yeah. That's one of the reasons why the German economy has often done so much better than ours. Very many of their businesses are family-owned, and they are much more focused on long-term sustainability.

UK MPs have passed an amendment giving the government powers to restrict access to VPNs.Imposing digital ID checks will turn people away from using a tool that keeps them safe and secure online.Instead it'll fuel the surveillance-based economy that causes harms.Sign our petition to protect VPN use in the UK ️https://action.openrightsgroup.org/tell-government-protect-vpn-use-uk#vpn #privacy #cybersecurity #onlinesafety #ukpolitics #ukpol
