Help us monitor #UK #censorship

The Act is already impacting freedom of expression in the UK

You can help us gather evidence of how content is being #censored through our Blocked tool. We’ll compile these examples for a future report on how the Online Safety Act is chilling #FreeSpeech and access to information in the UK.

#DemocracyNow brengt een indrukwekkend interview met Anthony Aguilar, een afgezwaaide Amerikaanse luitenant-kolonel die van mei tot eind juni als 'subcontractor' werkte voor de Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), en die nu als klokkenluider de publiciteit zoekt om breed bekend te maken dat Amerikaanse huurlingen en het Israëlische leger zich systematisch schuldig maken aan oorlogsmisdaden bij de hulpdistributiepunten van GHF.

Ummm... You haven't looked very well, then? I have said it on the record in the #Guardian, on #DemocracyNow, on the #BBC and even Australian TV channels seem to be able to find me well enough.

And, Trustcon is the worst place in the universe to find anyone who isn't just a corporate bootlicker.

The Guardian · Young Europeans losing faith in democracy, poll findsBy Deborah Cole

#UK public’s trust in our #politics has collapsed

Only 1 in 10 people now trust the government to put the country first.

This is a dangerous territory to be in and without serious #reforms we risk people losing faith in #democracy altogether.

Introducing a fairer, more #ProportionalVoting system would start the process of restoring trust and confidence in our political system.
