I have decided to start taking up Journalling! I find myself more motivated to do productive things when it's on the page, and it's inspiring to look back on my previous days. I recommend it! It's very important if you are serious about long-term goals!

Except those services want an excuse to do it too
Jun 14
Call their bluff.
Close all local UK operations, so that no employees or corporate officers can be arrested.
Refuse to comply, and dare them to geoblock. Without Google and Apple, the UK economy would probably collapse. It isn't so much that those services are crucial (although they are), it's that Britain is already on the fiscal brink and all it would really take is a little push.
I'm sure blocking the Internet would go over really well with the British people, too.

When I was a teenager I had a passion for making videos, I wanted to go into film and tv but when I tried to take the traditional eduction route I quickly realised it was a failing system
The teachers were underpaid, didn’t care enough, under resourced and quite frankly weren’t really skilled enough to actually provide me with the level of eduction I needed to persue my passion
So I turned to YouTube where I found millions of free, highly eductional tutorials that taught me everything I needed to know, I spent 3 years between the age of 13-16 on YouTube every night learning how to use different softwares, how to edit videos, cinematography, how to tell stories etc
All of which are things a traditional eduction in tv and film never even attempted to
teach me, 12 years on I’ve built an entire career with the knowledge I learned from free YouTube tutorials, bought a house from that knowledge and contributed substaincially to both the economy and the tax fund in this country
Banning YouTube for U16s does far more damage than it does good to the next generation, it takes away their ability to learn and grow outside of the boundries of a government approved education system and puts the country at risk of falling even further behind the rest of the world than we already are in terms of inovation
🚨 NEW: YouTube has hit out at the UK's social media ban for under-16s
"YouTube is a vital resource for young people, educators and parents. Blanket bans push kids out of such curated, supervised, beneficial experiences and towards anonymous, less safe services"

It went from “porn” to everything like we all predicted
JUST IN: UK Government clarifies adults will still be able to use social media by verifying their identities with digital IDs, facial recognition, passports and credit cards.

it really sucks to be small and powerless and to have a bunch of distant suits decide that cutting you off from the people and places you appreciate is the right move for your own good

"90% of parents support it"
If that was true, 90% of parents would exercise their parental prerogatives and ban their kids from using social media.
And then there wouldn't be a problem with kids on social media.
But then the police state wouldn't have an excuse to deanonymize the Internet "to protect the children".
Which is the actual issue, and which is why bullshit statistics like "99.99% of scientists support climate change" uh I mean "99.99% of the vote went to Kim Jong Un" er I mean "90% of parents support digital ID" are published.
People will attack this policy, but after extensive government consultation, 90% of the parents of under-16s support it. They have watched social media consume huge portions of their children’s lives, so have a very different perspective.
Social media amplifies narcissism, materialism, envy and division at an age when young minds are still developing. It keeps children trapped in a digital ecosystem designed to maximise engagement at the expense of real-world experiences, time outdoors, hobbies, independence, and learning how to socialise and build genuine friendships.
Perhaps most damaging of all, it encourages constant comparison. Children are measuring themselves against carefully curated versions of other people’s lives every hour of every day. It creates feelings of inadequacy and anxiety on a scale that older generations simply never experienced.
There will be much outrage about this, but this policy is truly about protecting children, and anyone who cares about the future of society should support it.

I’m helping a disabled client verify his age with @PlayStation @Sony. He can't use their standard methods, and they have ignored requests for reasonable adjustments under the Equality Act 2010. This breaks UK law. @Ofcom please look into this or I'll take legal action.
May 1
So, @PlayStation is basically unusable for me now. The UK Online Safety Act means I have to hand over a face scan or government ID just to use basic features. My PAYG mobile isn't accepted, and I’m not giving biometrics to a company with a history of massive data breaches. #Ps5

Will have to submit their identity to the state and connect their online identity to their real identity.
This will be used to suppress and criminalize dissent and unapproved ideas and unapproved opinions.
You will only be permitted say and think what the government tells you to say and think.

>RICU threatened the family of Henry Nowak.
Thats it. I'm done with this. Insane.
Jun 14
🚨BREAKING: A government insider has told the Daily Mail that the government propaganda unit (Research, Information and Communications Unit) had threatened the family Henry Nowak after he was murdered by Vickrum Digwa to maintain pro-multiculturalism messaging.
"RICU made sure that the liaison team dealing with the family were well briefed."
This was obvious considering how every single Labour/Lib Dem MP and liberal media figure came out to parrot the line "why don't you care about the family's wishes, Mr Farage?"
"They are working with the Police Service of Northern Ireland's C3 intelligence unit to identify those posting the online 'calls to protest' in Belfast and other areas, as well as giving strategic messages to the police to ensure that the protesters were portrayed as unsympathetic thugs, rather than activists, and effecting behavioural change."
