🚨BREAKING: We've launched a legal challenge to Johnson's Covid ID scheme in England.
Mandatory Covid passes are draconian, discriminatory and pointless, and we are concerned that the new scheme breaches the Human Rights Act and equality law.
🗣️The internet & social media platforms are the public squares of the modern-day. They've allowed us to communicate, organise, expose corruption & build new communities.
⚠️But our online public spheres are at risk.

"Why would we want to give more power to Big Tech to decide what is misinformation and what's not?"
"The way the (Online Safety) Bill will be implemented is not yet fully explained. It's quite unclear what role Parliament will have in the drafting of the categories of harm, in holding Ofcom to account for decisions."
YouTube removed our video of civil liberties champion @DavidDavisMP's speech against domestic vaccine passports, claiming that it "contradicts expert consensus".
This ought to be a wakeup call that free speech is under severe threat online.
YouTube removed Davis’ speech, filmed at our conference fringe event, for violating its policy on “medical misinformation” but did not specify what content had breached the rules.
YouTube's claim is potentially libellous - Davis' speech was wholly accurate (and brilliant..!).
In the censored speech, @DavidDavisMP promoted vaccine benefits but warned that Covid IDs are “illiberal, demanding that we an ordinary British citizen produce our papers to do something which is normal in our daily lives.”
