The government is DOUBLING police live facial recognition in a significant expansion of the surveillance state. Thanks to public support, me and Shaun Thompson are taking the Met to court to roll back mass facial recognition surveillance & defend privacy. So watch this space.

Here's my thing...Why aren't these safety measures in place already for the rest of us? What, the second you turn 18 they blast you with targeted ads and turn off wellbeing tools? And why do we have to upload our GOVT IDs to prove we're adults? Why keep a database of minors IDs?

We could have had no surveillance advertising, no big tech monopolies, no age verification, safety measures in place, Facebook held accountable by now. But they sucked all the resources of pro-safety orgs and shoved it towards pushing KOSA to be passed. Disguting and shameless.

So this org aimed at "holding big tech accountable" is winding down and directing all resources to an astroturfed Gen Z group promoting pro-censorship age verification/KOSA bullshit that would reward Peter Theil w billions and be the biggest gift to big tech in a decade. πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Same organization that denied Heritage Foundation and Marsha Blackburn's outright blanket statements that KOSA is made to censor trans kids, btw. Multiple times. I wonder what they think about the UK's Online Safety Act banning and censoring a big portion of Britain's internet.

An org that takes the mourning parents of dead kids who were harmed by various problems on social media and lies to them and tells them that KOSA would have prevented their kids from killing themselves. Just nasty No acknowledgement of the harms KOSA poses. Just denial

Another org who's genius idea about preventing AI harm is.....passing a censorship and surveillance bill. Like who is funding these groups? And how come not a single one has even mentioned what happened with the Online Safety Act in the UK? Lmao. HA!!!

and again, the features they're implementing - no targeted ads, adjusted recommendations, safety measures - should be the default to ALL users. youtube is owned by google. this is a thinly veiled attempt to get people to upload their govt ID's online for surveillance.

This org claiming to β€œhold big tech accountable” is now advocating for a law co written by Elon Musk that will give Peter Thiel a billion $$ payday and consolidates power among the biggest tech companies in existence. I’m going to become the joker

and just like that, the companies who most stand to benefit from age verification laws have VPNs in their sights too which is why age verification must be destroyed everywhere

Oakland doesn’t back down! Today, I joined elected officials, community leaders, and residents to address President Trump’s dangerous mischaracterization of our city. My message is clear: Oakland will not be intimidated by divisive rhetoric or federal overreach. We stand with

Fwiw, has there been anything good written about how weird job recruiting seems to be now? Nearly everyone i know looking for work have stories of 6+ stage interviews that lead to nowhere, no transparency in the process, screenings being outsourced etc

Sometimes I see people like 20 tweets deep into an argument with Grok. Like, what are you doing brother? You are trying to win an argument with a vending machine.

i don’t have anything to say about israeli citizens but i don’t like the way people talk about people’s acts of bravery lately. we must appreciate, nurture, honor bravery if we want to be strong, to show each other we are agents, to care in a world that only extracts and murders

john bitch society πŸŸ₯ πŸ“  🌞 (@decoratedshed) 's Twitter Profile Photo

some things aren’t brave, many things professors do for example. going to prison is brave. this isn’t about absolution or buying indulgences this is about the things we have to do everyday together while we’re alive so a revolutionary class know itself everywhere in the world

So just to keep track: Trump justified detaining students who protested & wrote op-eds because they're "flight risks." And then he lets a top Israeli official facing felony charges for child sex crimes just fly back to Israel. All while still refusing to release the Epstein files
