British Government invokes Article 8 (the right to privacy) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to avoid transparency of it's own communications.

Get accused of hypocrisy for simultaneously wanting to break encrypted communications.

Trying to address complex societal problems by blaming... Violent video games (a tired stereotype... it's never the video games...) and social media...

The Premier of NSW, Australia wants Facebook to prevent people from streaming protests.

NSW (New South Wales) is one of the states in Australia and the premier is the leader of that state.

Fediverse instances are facing a crisis... A crisis of too many users arriving lol

Here's another couple random bits of censorship.

"Mugen Souls" More racism / puritanism. Attaching image to show my point... #anime

STAR. A random horror game.

I mentioned before about how enacting a strong right to free expression would help to counter silly censorship in Australia.

Something else which would assist in countering puritanism and other silly kinds of censorship in Australia would be to contact reps, senators, and other elected figures to tell them how much of a bad idea that is.

That would be elected figures in the federal legislature, the states, and territories. The states and territories have a certain amount of influence over this process.

It honestly should be very obvious that such censorship is ridiculous, although maybe not. To be on the safer side, it's best to assume it is not.

Frankly, the same applies to the United Kingdom, and defeating the nasty "OSB".

There, there are two houses of Parliament, the lower House of Commons and the upper House of Lords.

Contacting both of those would be helpful.

Noting that one of these people has gloated before, on national media no less, about how they "operated quietly and under the radar" a few years ago.

The conspiracy nut no longer shows off about being an advisor to Australia.

Did they finally get rid of him? Or is he still there just under the radar? I wouldn't be surprised, if it was the second.

The thing with Stamos though is that he was a very fringe figure (head of security for FB), until he got ejected due to a dispute with senior management.

He then made an academic career out of making noise about every little possible fault he could find with the company.

The "internet observatory" is his project. A lot of his ideas are lousy or real reaches. I'm not really interested in his vendetta with FB or anyone else.

Elon is helping free you from Twitter by making it members only. Be free, little bird.

I wonder if this is another case of them listening to an unreliable "informant"...
