🚨NEWS🚨 We've just launched our new report:

🟥The State of Free Speech Online🟥

We document the growth of big tech censorship & explain why Johnson's Online Safety Bill could be the greatest threat to free speech in the UK in living memory.

Read more: bigbrotherwatch.org.uk/campaigns/free…
Far from “reigning in” social media companies, the Government is seeking a share of the extraordinary power to monitor, suppress + censor lawful speech on a scale never seen before.

The Online Safety Bill is disastrous for the future of free speech in the UK.

#SaveOnlineSpeech
The Bill gives state backing to foreign companies' terms + conditions, abandoning legal speech standards.

This convergence of big tech + state power is unaccountable & difficult to contain. Once we go down the Orwellian road of online speech control, there will be no going back. Image

BREAKING🚨

Our new report exposes the hidden algorithms councils have been using to screen, monitor and profile people who receive benefits without their knowledge. ⬇️

These hidden algorithms “treat the poor with suspicion and prejudice".

Find all the details in our new report, ‘Poverty Panopticon: the hidden algorithms shaping Britain’s welfare state’ ⬇️

🕵Our 9-month investigation has found that councils are conducting:

*mass profiling*

*citizen scoring*

of welfare and social care recipients to predict fraud, rent non-payments and major life events.

🚨Major leak reveals private spyware used to hack journalists, activists + politicians around the world - even w possible links to assassinations.

"Nothing to hide, nothing to fear"? Think again.

@AmnestyTech @FbdnStories @citizenlab 👏

Whilst these revelations are expected to concern foreign governments, it is important to understand this in the context of our own surveillance.

In recent years, the UK has acquired totalitarian-style surveillance powers under the guise of counter-terrorism - including hacking.
UK surveillance is arguably the most expansive system of any democracy in history. Safeguards are threadbare. The state has the power to hack devices of any individual, group, or even a nation. There is no requirement for reasonable suspicion of a criminal offence.
