Free expression is a human right. This includes the right to receive and impart information. Children have this right too. As Scotland's Children's Commissioner said, the social media ban “would not currently be a proportionate, effective, or enforceable way to protect children's rights". https://uk.news.yahoo.com/scotland-childrens-commissioner-hits-starmer-092635827.html #socialmediaban #socialmedia #censorship #freeexpression #ukpolitics #ukpol

Social media bans don't work. They just make things worse. In Australia, for those teens who haven't bypassed the restrictions, their access to news has been curtailed. How does this square with giving votes to 16 year olds in the UK? Children have rights to free expression too.

“LGBTQ+ teens in particular may rely on social media for crucial information, exploration and support. The ban will also impact how children access and share information that is important for their participation in democracy, as well as for their health and wellbeing." 🗣️ ORG for Queer AF. https://www.wearequeeraf.com/youth-social-media-bans-should-raise-privacy-concerns-for-everyone/ #socialmediaban #lgbt #lgbtqia #freeexpression #censorship #ukpolitics #ukpol

Governments are moving toward bans, scanning, curfews and restrictions that could change the internet for everyone. #StopKillingTheInternet supports rights-respecting approaches to child protection, privacy, democratic accountability and platform responsibility. The movement launches on 27 June ⬇️ #StopKillingTheInternet #StopKillingInternet #socialmediaban #openinternet #privacy #freeexpression #ukpolitics #ukpol

I met with Mayor Mike Garcia of the City of #SantaFe #NewMexico, as part of the continuing effort to have the City treat political protest constitutionally. Read the takeaways from the meeting and my analysis of where things stand. https://1asantafe.beehiiv.com/p/update-on-city-of-santa-fe-progress-toward-constitutionally-satisfactory-treatment-of-political-spee #FirstAmendment #FreeExpression #PublicAssembly
