#Trump’s claims against #Brazil, attempting to justify #tariffs, are unfounded. #FreedomOfExpression is not a free pass for #criminal activity on #socialmedia platforms—we will not give up on protecting our families & children from the greed of a handful of #tech #oligarchs. Our payment system, PIX, does not discriminate against #US companies & is an international benchmark for digital public infrastructure. #geopolitics #Lula #law #sovereignty #trade #economy #tariffs #ElectionInterference

…The attempted mission by the #Trump officials marked an escalation in a lengthy feud between the #US & #Brazil over the limits of #FreedomOfExpression & the #criminal case against Trump ally former president #JairBolsonaro, who is under house arrest after being #convicted of attempting to lead an armed #coup & other charges [that was inspired by Trump’s #Jan6 coup attempt]. #law #InternationalLaw #sovereignty #BigLie

RE: https://masto.ai/@Nonilex/116890342772986816 Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't this equate to Rubio screaming from the hill tops "WE ARE FASCISTS!" #antifa #antifascists #USPol #FreedomOfExpression #FreedomOfAssembly

UK Doctors’ Union Drops Israel-Backed [IHRA] Definition of Antisemitism: Over concerns medics are being punished for opposing Gaza genocide | Novara Media (2026-06-25) https://novaramedia.com/2026/06/25/uk-doctors-union-drops-israel-backed-definition-of-antisemitism/ ——— >> The British Medical Association (#BMA) has voted to drop the International Holocaust Remembrance Association (#IHRA) definition of antisemitism over fears it had a “chilling” effect on free speech, including support for #Palestine. >> The IHRA definition regards certain criticisms of Israel – including that its existence is a racist endeavour – as antisemitic. In the UK, it has been widely adopted by the national government, policing and local authorities. >> The definition was officially adopted by Israel’s government in 2017. Doctors voted to drop it at the BMA’s annual meeting on Tuesday over fears that medics are being punished for their views on international politics… #Gaza #FreedomOfExpression @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com

UK policymakers need to rethink online safety laws. A new joint statement warns that age-gating and access restrictions threaten to fragment the open Internet and erode the rights of all users.

Digital checkpoints will crop up all over the Internet after UK MPs backed new powers to expand age verification. The only way to block under-16s is to run checks on everybody. That's millions more people having to hand over personal data to unregulated providers just to access everyday services.

Papers, please! Digital ID age checks have taken another lunge forward. UK MPs have agreed to new powers to expand age verification across online platforms. More and more everyday web services will be locked behind digital checkpoints, despite the serious privacy and security risks of this system.

“In less than a year, we’ve gone from proposals to check ID for porn to the prospect of checking ID to access social media or unlock everyday features such as livestreams or feeds. These online ID systems put both children and adults’ sensitive data at risk.” 🗣️ @JamesBaker@social.openrightsgroup.org for ORG. #ageverification #digitalid #socialmedia #socialmediaban #freedomofexpression #childrensbill #privacy #ukpoltics #ukpol

The UK Parliament continues to pursue an approach to online safety that doesn't work. The Australian under-16 social media ban has failed to make any difference and people have sought ways around it. Digital ID age checks come at the cost of everyone's privacy and free expression. The math ain't mathing. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/most-australian-teens-admit-social-111400429.html #ageverification #digitalid #socialmedia #socialmediaban #freedomofexpression #childrensbill #privacy #ukpoltics #ukpol

The problem of online harms lies with the underlying business models of social media platforms. Digital ID age checks do nothing to change that. We need to disrupt the advertising-driven business models built on surveillance, profiling and maximising engagement.

German state plans to criminalize questioning Israel’s right to exist (Anadolu Agency, 2026-04-22) https://www.aa.com.tr/en/europe/german-state-plans-to-criminalize-questioning-israel-s-right-to-exist/3915231 ——— >> Denying Israel’s right to exist could soon be punishable by law in the southern German state of Hesse, the Zeit weekly newspaper reported Wednesday. >> Hesse’s Prime Minister Boris Rhein and his Justice Minister Christian Heinz are planning to present a corresponding bill Thursday. >> The bill is then scheduled to be introduced in Germany’s upper house, the Bundesrat, on May 8... >> Critics of the bill say the move is aimed at stifling any kind of criticism of Israel. >> German law does not criminalize the act of questioning Israel's right to exist. While German authorities have severely restricted pro-Palestinian speech, the courts have recently clarified the limits of the restrictions, ruling that the speech is generally protected by freedom of expression​​​​​​​… #FreedomOfExpression #Gaza #palestine #Germany @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@fedibird.com

Politicians are truly out of touch if they think that ordinary people can embed hidden messages in unicode with steganography. If they're worried over people mapping abstract cultural and political ideas to emotes, then they need to mind their own business and quit infringing upon their citizen's human rights. Specifically the right to freedom of speech. @caekislove@caekis.love Tags: #politics, #humanrights, #privacy, #freedomofexpression, #freedomofspeech.

“When you create a law, you have to think about what a future government could do with those powers." Ministers would have unilateral powers to lock what they see as 'harmful' behind digital ID checks. This could end up being used on LGBTQ+ and reproductive health content. 🗣️ ORG's James Baker. https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-eyes-sweeping-powers-to-regulate-tech-without-parliamentary-scrutiny/ #onlinesafety #digitalid #privacy #freedomofexpression #ageverification #ukpolitics #ukpol

🚨 ID checks to get online could become the new norm 🚨 A new amendment would give the UK government sweeping powers to block access to lawful information and communications. That's unless we submit our identification to a bounty of providers.
