#onlinesafetyact

Ending online harms isn't a game of whack-a-mole. The only way is to bust the business model that rewards harmful results. Nothing changes until we break the spell that keeps us on platforms; the harvesting of our data to maximise engagement and fuel advertising. We need to get off the regulatory treadmill and #BreakBigTech.

"British politicians and authorities are working intensively to escalate #censorship and mass #surveillance.

RE: @GossiTheDog@cyberplace.social

The UK government’s official internet policy:

1. if you run a web forum or fedi instance, you need to do a bunch of paperwork to comply with the #OnlineSafetyAct to protect the kids.

2. if you are rich and run a neo-nazi website with officially posted virtual CSAM, politicians won’t leave despite that being a million times worse than anything you’d read on a forum about fixed gear cycling or a mastodon server run by some queer furries running arch for their polycule.

Incredibly coherent.
