Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN” A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime. Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK. And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw #UKpol #VPNban #PornHub #ChatControl #Privacy #FreeSpeech #SocialMedia

Amanda McGonigle at @CatsOnACouch has 2.2 million followers on Ig because of her online and IRL trolling of #JDVance. His delicate feelings were hurt by her followers typing "meow" in his social media posts, so he wanted her banned from an event in #Maine. The ACLU helped her sue and they won. Although her mockery of Vance is hilarious, there's nothing more serious now in the US than defending the #FirstAmendment. #FreeSpeech is still alive and kicking because of lawsuits like this.

Europeans/EU Citizens! Update on the EU Kids Act: The EU Commission has opened up the submission form for feedback on the bill. Let them know how much you don't want this! Let them know how much harm this bill will do to civil rights and economic stability! It's better to try and fail then to roll over and take it! https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/better-regulation/have-your-say/initiatives/19418 P.S. And as always, mail/call your MEPs and other relevant government officials! #Privacy #Censorship #FreeSpeech #DigitalRights #SocialMedia #EUKidsAct #EU #EuropeanUnion #AgeVerification

There's a giant NDA up as a Nuit Blanche art installation, calling out the silencing of curators and artists who've spoken critically of Israel. It's in the alley off Spadina south of Richmond leading to Cinecycle. By No Arms in the Arts. The protest artwork highlights concerns in the art community about censorship and the professional repercussions faced by artists and cultural workers who express their views opposing Israel's genocide. #Toronto #NuitBlanche #Israel #FreeSpeech

Konzertierte Aktion: Polizei Hannover reisst massenhaft Demo-Werbeplakate zu „Nazizentren dichtmachen! Weg mit der Hannoverschen Burschenschaft Ghibellinia-Leipzig!“ ab und versucht das mit „Verleumdung“ und „illegalem Plakatieren“ zu rechtfertigen. https://freiheitsfoo.de/2026/09/22/polizei-hannover-reisst-massenhaft-demoplakate-ab/ #freespeech #stadtkultur #reclaimpublicspace
