I wrote about how I cannot understand why anyone is interested in joining a new centralized social media platform when we now have a great opportunity to move to protocols instead of platforms. https://www.techdirt.com/2022/12/21/why-would-anyone-use-another-centralized-social-media-service-after-this/

If this is true than it really exposes the #tyrant and now #liar #Elon 'Free speech" #Musk.
This is what a #journalist writes about being banned and locked out of #twitter
"My suspension lasted just a few days before my account was reinstated. When people visit my Twitter profile, it no longer says “account suspended,” and it looks as if I’m back on the platform. Friends and strangers alike have reached out to me saying it’s good to see that I’m back on Twitter. It’s an illusion.
In reality, I’m still locked out of my Twitter account unless I agree to delete a specific tweet.
We call that censorship and blackmail.

NEW: Apparently another woman was kicked out of Madison Square Garden, at a #BrandiCarlile concert, because of #facialrecognition

I spoke with @RollingStone about why @team is calling for a ban on all use of #facialrecognition and #biometric #surveillance in places of public accommodation. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/madison-square-garden-face-scan-1234650989/

I find it hilarious that a whole bunch of people are now claiming that Techdirt (TECHDIRT!), who has been screaming about FBI overreach for two and a half decades... is obviously an FBI front, or paid off by the FBI, because of our post yesterday showing that the FBI was not, in fact, paying Twitter to censor stories about Hunter Biden.

Jeremy Malcolm writes about how ""groomer" slurs are used against LGBT people, and also against people working in the field of child abuse prevention. https://jere.my/2022-year-of-the-groomer/

Oh. my. god.

Madison Square Garden used facial recognition to identify and stop a mom from attending a Christmas show with her kid because she's an attorney at a firm who is engaged in litigation with them.

This is why it's not enough to just ban government and law enforcement use of #facialrecognition. There are so many ways private companies and even individuals can abuse #biometric #surveillance tech.

#BanFacialRecognition entirely. Yesterday.

Encryption protects us, so we need to protect it. Hear from Afsaneh Rigot, #LGBTQ+ activist from MENA region, on why encryption is crucial for keeping people in marginalized communities safe.
