UK, man, really on a roll today

"Britain’s Court of Appeal has ruled that the government’s proscription of the activist group Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organisation was lawful.

The ruling on Monday came after the government lodged an appeal challenging a High Court ruling in February that banning the group under the Terrorism Act 2000 was unlawful and disproportionate."

i feel so sorry for queer kids who will spend even more of their lives not being able to make connections with people like them

the earliest years of development, delayed. do you know that the longer it takes for people to find out who they are, it causes irreparable stress and feelings of insecurity?

shame on these fragile men of privilege who are too afraid to hold the abuse of big tech accountable and instead remove human rights from the most vulnerable

do you think, in the future, genAI tokens will be our form of Ketracel-white #ds9

# Majority in Dutch Senate supports ban on gay conversion therapy

"After getting majority support in parliament, a D66 and VVD bill to ban gay conversion therapy now also has the support of a majority in the Eerste Kamer, the Dutch Senate. The Senators debated the bill on Tuesday and will officially vote on it next week, NOS reports.

If the law is implemented, it will be a criminal offense to force homosexual and transgender people to undergo therapy or faith healing to change their sexual preferences or gender identity. Violators of the law will risk hefty fines or up to two years in prison.

The D66 and VVD want the law to prevent the suffering of people forced to undergo these “cures.” The United Nations Human Rights Commission previously concluded that the practices cause serious suffering."

# TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER, STILL BURNING

"Twenty-five years ago, Hacktivismo and CULT OF THE DEAD COW issued a declaration grounding hacktivism in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. We named state-sponsored censorship as the enemy, transnational corporations as its enablers, and argued that the international hacking community had a moral obligation to act.

The situation is worse now than it was then.

Global internet freedom has declined for fifteen consecutive years, according to Freedom House's Freedom on the Net 2025. The internet is more controlled and manipulated today than at any point in the history of the report. Citizens in at least 57 of the 72 countries covered were arrested or imprisoned for online expression on social, political, or religious topics during the coverage period. A record high.

Freedom House itself was nearly destroyed in the process of documenting this. In January 2025, a US executive order froze foreign assistance funding and terminated more than 80 percent of the organization's programs worldwide. Freedom House lost most of its funding from a government that now appears in its own report.

Further documentation of these conditions, including a country-by-country account of restriction mechanisms from 2001 to 2026, is documented in "The Great Decoupling."

Reporters Without Borders, whose research informed our original declaration, classified the global state of press freedom as a "difficult situation" for the first time in the history of its index.

We are issuing this declaration in that context."
