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

"Ironically, Andreas was coming to London to speak at our event about the unprecedented attacks on free speech unleashed by the proscription of Palestine Action, including the effective ban on Sally Rooney’s books, but he has now been banned himself"

'My father and the rest still thought that most Arabs would sell their national honour for the food we would give them'
- Yaakov Sharett

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!

P.S. And as always, mail/call your MEPs and other relevant government officials!

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.

Canada defines Anti-Zionism as Antisemitic
So much for the "liberal" Canada that everyone says is a "nice" country.
The neo-liberals are as bad, if not worse than the fascists and the zionists. Because they silence the opponents of fascism while pretending to be civilized and lovers of peace and rule of law.

Think countries like #Canada give a damn about #FreeSpeech? No nation-state has a good record on it. In 1918 on #ThisDayInHistory the #IWW was outlawed in Canada. Their crime? Opposition to the #FirstWorldWar and the killing fields to which the #WorkingClass were shipped to die.

Dildo demonstrations, 10 years later: “Texas has decided it is not at all obnoxious or illegal to allow deadly concealed weapons on campus. But walking around with a dildo could land you in trouble. We’re protesting absurdity with absurdity.” https://www.texasobserver.org/cocks-not-glocks-at-10/
