🚨 The Online Safety Act, formerly known as the Online Safety Bill and Online Harms White Paper has received Royal Assent.

With the encryption clause still present, there's a lot of things people can do to protect their speech online as well as countering surveillance πŸ‘‡
The more people that are in the Linux community the better.

You are much safer using a Linux based OS while running a VPN as well as using encryption based applications on your desktop/laptop

πŸ‘€ A 'Virtual Private Network' (VPN) creates an encrypted tunnel for your internet traffic & helps protect your online identity.

While it won't provide full anonymity, a VPN is a very important part of your privacy journey. Our VPN of choice is @TorGuard Image
πŸ‘€ Your average iPhone or Android device constantly knows your location, even if you switch the setting or device off.

All of that stops when you use a 'de-googled' phone:

βœ…No location tracking through the OS

βœ…No data sent back to Apple/Google

βœ… Increased battery life Image

America have stopped printing #COVID19 vaccination records which could used for international travel.

The #NHS still have a COVID-Pass available until 31st March 2024 even though there's SEVEN countries left in the world with entry measures. Image
Here's the list of countries where @SteveBarclay @DHSCgovuk @UKHSA still think it's necessary & proportionate to continue wasting UK tax payers money on this useless scheme.

It's a joke.

CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC
LIBYA
NAURU
NORTH KOREA
PITCAIRN ISLANDS
SOUTH SUDAN
TURKMENISTAN
Since the WHO ended the #COVID19 PHEIC on 5th May, there's been a major de-escalation of remaining countries enforcing COVID entry measures.

You can even travel to #China & #NorthKorea unhindered, except NK will quarantine visitors for 30 days according to their guidelines.

🧡The Crime & Policing MP @CPhilpOfficial may view the integration & amalgamation of multiple national databases using AI to tackle crime as a 'gamechanger'.

But there are serious risks for the data & privacy of everyday citizens. We explain more in this thread πŸ‘‡ Facial Recognition
πŸŸ₯ Cybersecurity: Criminals may attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in the systems used to integrate & store data.

Hacking, malware, or ransomware attacks, could compromise the integrity & availability of data.
πŸŸ₯ Data Breaches: Combining multiple databases may increase the risk of data breaches.

Unauthorized access could allow criminals & other malicious actors to a wealth of sensitive data.

An 'anonymous IT reporter' who claims to have spent a lot of time petitioning against COVID-Passes & raised this on TalkRadio 'thinks' national ID cards are a 'bad idea' but their modern equivalent is OK.

Zero mention of the #OnlineSafetyBill, implications on encryption, & amendments to the Snoopers Charter which could see companies like Apple having to run their latest security/privacy updates by the State & at the risk of the public not knowing about it.
Modern digital identity systems don't necessarily mean 'more safe', even if open source.

For example, #WorldCoin runs a open source protocol which hasn't deterred criminals from stealing passwords & injecting malware into the iris-scanning devices:

🚨 EXCL: The UK Govt are co-funding technical assistance & continued development of Ukraine's controversial Diia app through the Eurasia Foundation & its 'Transparency and Accountability in Public Administration and Services' (TAPAS). FCDO - Information Rights O...
TAPAS or 'Transparency & Accountability in Public Administration & Services', is a seven-year, $43 million 'anti-corruption activity' in #Ukraine funded by USAID & UK Aid (2016-2024).

eurasia.org/project/transp…
Diia (Дія) meaning 'action' or Π”Π΅Ρ€ΠΆΠ°Π²Π° Ρ– Π― (State & Me) was first presented in 2019 & officially launched in early 2020.

Most of its now 130 e-gov services were developed from UK & USAID through the Eurasia Foundation who are also recipients of funding from George Soros' OSF. Eurasia Foundation funding ...

@Bernard57502817 @ABridgen 1⃣ Art. 1 & 42 of proposed amendments say nothing about a change from advisory to 'mandatory'. The term legally binding does not mean that treaty text is enforced within member states legislation.

(contd.)
@Bernard57502817 @ABridgen 2⃣ We agree that 'all risks' isn't suitable & requires further definition & clarity. It should remain as public health risks associated with communicable diseases.

Unfortunately this has also been widely blown out of proportion but we can see why.
@Bernard57502817 @ABridgen 3⃣ Human Rights haven't been 'disregarded' & are mentioned within Art. 2 & Page 4 of the following. This is the problem, Roguski cherry picks & doesn't provide the wider angle on text.

Interesting that the UKHSA procurement with @TelefonicaUK @BTGroup for 'telecoms mobility data' & 'datasets' are both filed under 'telemetry surveillance system'.

contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/4a8a4b3…

contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/fce46d7… ImageImageImageImage
We also found another contract for Telefonica (o2) valued at Β£900,000 for "Provision of Mobility Data for the UK detailing the aggregated number of people within a specific location within the UK."

contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/e8d2969… ImageImage
In the BT contract (ending 2025) there's a provision for 'historical data' & ''full origin destination' between March 2019 - March 2022.

This isn't just about analysing behavioural datasets leading up to, during & after C19, this is full on surveillance & we need more answers. Image
