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.

UK: Palantir break clause


Cross party committee of MPs has just officially recommended that the government trigger the break clause in #Palantir's #NHS contract. The report states:

⚠️"Palantir’s increasing presence across the public sector represents an unacceptable point of weakness"

⚠️"The government's digital transformation ambitions could be derailed at any time by a decision taken outside our shores based on the narrow interests of a foreign commercial or state actor"

⚠️"Palantir will follow their #commercial self-interests in attempting to burrow so deep into the NHS that they cannot be #migrated away from"

⚠️"Of the small number of technology providers that the UK public sector relies upon, Palantir concerns us most"

Just... Nope. The whole thing about OS age verification is simply preposterous, ludicrous and quite frankly unethical. How is it even enforceable? Madness! #Privacy #DigitalRights


"Start with one service, get comfortable, then add another. The point is not perfection. It is owning your library and making it available to the people you care about, without asking permission from a platform that can lock you out at a whim."

🚨 Wide ranging powers to restrict Internet access in the UK have been voted through 🚨

Ministers will be able to impose digital ID checks, curfews and VPN restrictions without Parliamentary scrutiny.

This can be used on websites, social media, apps and games with no need to show there's any harm to children.

“When you create a law, you have to think about what a future government could do with those powers."

Ministers would have unilateral powers to lock what they see as 'harmful' behind digital ID checks.

This could end up being used on LGBTQ+ and reproductive health content.

🚨 ID checks to get online could become the new norm 🚨

A new amendment would give the UK government sweeping powers to block access to lawful information and communications.

That's unless we submit our identification to a bounty of providers.

Tell your MP to stop this broad and repressive law ⬇️

I have a Fairphone and the biggest gripe I have with it is Android. I still can't believe Fairphone haven't read the room and provided and alternative privacy based option out of the box without having to flash firmware and risk bricking your phone. this is interesting

@nextcloud_main

Gotta say, it feels great being able to promote @nextcloud@mastodon.xyz 's posts at long last now that they're POSTING THEIR VIDEOS ON PEERTUBE!!! (On their own instance no less!)

I've yelled at them for... a long time, so now it's time to give credit where it's earned. It's great to see y'all living up to the values of privacy, data control and decentralization with your videos.

Way to go Nextcloud! 👏 👍

PS If you haven't subscribed to Nextcloud's peertube channel yet, show them the effort was worth it and FOLLOW THEM NOW! It's at @nextcloud@peertube.nextcloud.com (you can follow from Masto or any Fedi client, too)
