Britain arrested at least 62,199 people in five years under laws covering what people say online or over the phone. 18,510 were charged. 12,292 convicted. And depending on where you lived, your chances of being arrested could vary by 43x. Free speech in Britain is under severe and growing threat. https://reclaimthenet.org/uk-police-arrested-62-199-people-over-online-speech-in-five-years

Ken Paxton's new data center plan would make operators criminally liable if the servers they run "empower AI chatbots that undermine children's safety." Data centers only provide power, space, and cooling. They don't produce the speech. Punishing them for it pushes liability past Section 230 and onto the hardware. Faced with criminal liability over a term as vague as "undermine children's safety," operators won't defend anyone. They'll drop the customers and platforms hosting lawful speech rather than risk prison over it. The platforms that survive will hand users digital ID age verification, because checking everyone's papers is the cheapest way to legally prove no child was ever there. https://reclaimthenet.org/ken-paxton-data-center-criminal-liability-ai-chatbots-child-safety

Meta's $17 billion settlement with the states is all over the news today, and almost every story is about teen screen limits and beauty filters.

13 years ago this month, the Guardian broke the Snowden story...the biggest mass surveillance exposé in history. Today it calls your concern about ID-linked browsing, spyware in your photos and messages, and broken encryption, "fake outrage" while Starmer's government demands backdoors into your iCloud and calls for people to be arrested for tweets. The watchdog became the lapdog. https://blossom.primal.net/d4ab9c89ae97f6ec56f0fa5a1eebf48dd46cb97076ec88e51e0bdb0e8b3eb5e3.jpg

New Mexico wants a judge to force Meta to verify user identities, weaken encryption, scan content at massive scale, track usage hours, and enforce age-based access limits. Judge Bryan Biedscheid opened the trial by warning he won’t become a “one-person legislature.” A “child safety” mandate that requires ID verification, persistent tracking, and message inspection does not stay limited to children. Once platforms build the infrastructure to identify everyone and scan communications, the surveillance becomes permanent. This is one state court but more than 40 AG cases are waiting behind it. https://reclaimthenet.org/new-mexicos-meta-trial-opens-with-judge-wary-of-states-broad-surveillance-demands
