@BeAware@social.beaware.live I also went looking through a few accounts which appeared from there before, and a lot of them were once active but didn't appear to be any more. It's not thorough though.
Harriet Grant regurgitating thoroughly discredited far right anti porn nonsense is disgusting and utterly repugnant. #ukpol
@freezenet From the sounds of it, he was homeless and prison is free accommodation (it would probably be cheaper to just provide housing).
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/07/04/japan/society/osaka-court-refugee/ Interesting to see a story which straight-up mentions that some refugees flee their countries because they fear persecution for being gay.
We've seen some very disturbing laws coming out of Africa lately. #HumanRights
A German tells me that art is protected by the Constitution therefore there is no need to write clear legislation.
I strongly disagree with that, it's pretty clear that it is chilling free expression.
I can't believe I have to say this but indiscriminately infecting people with malware is abhorrent, illegal, and yes, "worse than #chatcontrol". #privacy
I think that with private messengers, just as you wouldn't want the telephone company to censor someone, you don't want these large corporations to do so either.
As I've mentioned before, I'm not entirely opposed to the idea of keeping up specific posts on large social media platforms, but it would be complicated in practice legally.
Even raised some awkward questions of whether over-zealous enforcement isn't essentially criminalizing poverty.
I remember that the top form of child abuse which the government investigates is actually neglect (not child predators on the internet, I suspect this gets more media attention as it's scarier) and that overwhelmingly involves poor people (likely to be a product of poverty).
@cryptohagen Honestly, an indiscriminate dissemination of malware is probably worse than chat control.
Hmm... One of these domains (not the top ones) does not appear to be for a "CSAM website" (it is probably a website for 3D models and one of these orgs they partner with has been known for doing things like this before, in any case, there has been reporting that it is not an illegal site). Another is unlikely to be, although there is insufficient information.
As for the rest, I can't appraise them. I'm going to take their word for it that they are.
@ghast@liberdon.com Presumably, that would mean more staff which means that more things would naturally be covered.
That said, it's worrying that what seems to be Europe's foremost digital rights group has next to no one working on free expression.
There's an upcoming election over who gets to be the next Governor of Tokyo and a few of the candidates are entertaining to see.
https://edri.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/EDRi_Summary.pdf I'm curious how someone manages to fight against the suppression of free expression when they don't have someone to deal with that. Is it a funding thing?
https://edri.org/about-us/our-team/ Barely any free expression expertise (particularly outside of "misinformation").

One of the dumbest takes I've seen from someone advocating against rights is that if the government over-reaches then someone can "just vote for someone else". #FreeSpeech #privacy
It still feels weird when someone says Meta instead of Facebook.
@LouisIngenthron This isn't the first time they've made a take like this. It's just not usually quite so on the nose.
They expect magic, and come up with incoherent, unworkable, and frankly, harmful ideas. Also, if someone, say, hands their data to a company for one purpose, then the government can stop them selling it off without their consent.
Just as you wouldn't use a hammer to screw something in, it doesn't make sense to pick totally inappropriate countries to host sites in (and it's probably more expensive to do this too).
