Children who are referred to Prevent for wearing pro-Palestinian badges could be impacted for the rest of their lives.

Their data will be retained on the Prevent database for at least 6 years and up to 100, even if their case requires no further action.

Hi Jillian. There is a concerning attack on free expression which might be of interest to you (and the EFF):

nichegamer.com/dlsite-temporar

The art / sexual expression (of non-existent) people should be compatible with the First Amendment (if that is relevant) and local law (including the local Japanese Constitution, Articles 19 / 21 of which contain a right to free expression).

Perhaps relevant:

Someone is trying to convince me that climate change is not real. Presumably, those wildfires and floods appeared out of thin air. Maybe, my old pal Gaia is angry about censorship, lol.

Obviously, Dio immediately comes to mind when I think of this anime, lol.

I think it's a gift link though so I don't know how long it'll work for (if it's still working).

"Elf miljoen Nederlanders worden geautomatiseerd door de politie gevolgd in de basisregistratie personen. Velen zelfs al sinds hun baby- en kindertijd. De politie overtreedt hiermee diverse wetten. De dienders en de korpsleiding weten dat al jaren, maar trekken zich er weinig van aan."

"Eleven million Dutch people are automatically tracked by the police in the Basic Registration of Persons. Many even since their infancy and childhood. In doing so, the police are breaking various laws. The officers and the management of the police force have known this for years, but take little notice. This is according to research by Follow the Money."

"Cities all across the United States have been increasingly passing laws that punish people who are forced to sleep outside each night due a lack of available shelter and extreme housing shortages. The Supreme Court will soon decide if doing so violates the ’s prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment, in a case that arose out of southern Oregon and is arguably the most significant case on homelessness in decades."

That take on free expression (and the context it links to) still applies.

"Key federal lawmakers Sunday unveiled a sweeping proposal that would for the first time give consumers broad rights to control how tech companies like Google, Meta and TikTok use their personal data, a major breakthrough in the decades-long fight to adopt national online protections."

"it is seen as “complementary” to other bills on child safety"
How about dropping the unconstitutional censorship bill (which actually undermines privacy)?

CDT is encouraged to see a constructive bipartisan discussion draft of a #privacy bill from two key leaders, Senators Cantwell and McMorris.

A comprehensive federal privacy law is long overdue.  We hope that Congress will quickly turn to moving a bill through the legislative process and look forward to working with all stakeholders in finally getting privacy legislation passed. commerce.senate.gov/2024/4/com

For the record, I prefer to make more principled / scientific arguments, rather than talk about a particular group of religious fundamentalists who like to misrepresent science. I find them irritating.

Well, to give an example of being over-specific (I didn't before and I probably should have), "They are good people who wouldn't do that" is better than fixating on something silly like "thought crimes" which don't really matter and serve as more of a distraction.

Maybe, I'm just quibbling over language here, although I've seen a misuse of it like that before.
