'i ran away from the children’s home’

Jules Brown was taken into care at the age of 12 and spent six years in various foster homes, children’s homes and a hostel before he was told to leave.

He ended up becoming a victim of domestic abuse and then became homeless.

I was thrown in a children's home and cast aside'

Zuckerberg said the decisions made were the decisions of his business, but that the “government pressure was wrong”. - Zuckerberg said he and Meta would be ready to "push back" if something similar happened in the future.

Meanwhile: Zuck sucking up

Zuckerberg regrets bowing to Biden 'pressure' over Covid & Hunter Biden laptop - His letter was addressed to Jim Jordan, the chair of the House judiciary committee, which has been investigating content moderation on online platforms. Republicans said the letter was a "big win for free speech, external".

@MLClark @BillyBones

@IrelandTorin exactly it was a valid request

the story has changed to "we have to defend free speech" from the same people who shout the loudest "we have to protect our children" friggin eejits they are what they should be saying is "we don't care about the children we just use anything to push our narrative & agenda even if that means we are in fact protecting someone accused if spreading child porn around"

Calling them halfwits is an insult to halfwits

@Tacitus_Kilgore 👍

Jim is awesome love watching his BBC documentaries he knows his stuff

@IrelandTorin telegram just refuse to do any cooperation when asked - telegram has a long history of refusing - and that's what set this ball rolling a person was arrested for child porn and then telegram was identified as the platform of choice for sharing content

To me this CEO only has himself to blame and hiding behind free speech & freedom of expression is bullshit cause now that's become the story NOT that they, telegram, refused to help prosecute a pedophile by handing over data

this isn't about "free speech" either its about accountability if a high percentage of your platform is only using it to commit crimes then you should be held accountable if you refuse to help law enforcement - hiding behind "free speech" & "freedom of expression" doesn't cut the mustard

Again don't get that twisted with what some governments are trying, and have been trying, for years breaking encryption in the name of "saving the children"

Well, hum, ERM..... Maybe if platform owners took a more proactive measure in ensuring pedos, criminals & bad actors didn't get a "foot-hold" to operate on their platforms they platform owners & law enforcement might actually benefit each other it wouldn't be so expensive

I'm not into "breaking encryption" like some countries wanna do - that said i think though its about time platform owners were held accountable for content shared, child porn, and crimes committed by users of platforms

"Building platforms responsibly means reaching compromises with law enforcement agencies that allow for the investigation of serious crimes while protecting users’ privacy to the greatest extent possible. It’s a difficult, expensive dance, and when it’s working right neither the platforms or the law enforcement agencies are satisfied with the outcome"

#Telegram

"I’ve spent the past few days talking with sources who work on and study tech policy and international law, along with those who are fighting the spread of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) on digital platforms. Today let’s try to answer three big questions from the arrest: Why was Durov arrested? Why is Telegram under investigation? And what does France’s move here portend for platforms more generally?"

How Telegram played itsef

Its all in the "eyes"

@danielbsmith for sure they are trying to pressure him into that

That and just another step in the EU's plan to break all encryption by forcing encryption services to have "backdoors" and it ain't just EU that has that agenda either - this is one to watch that's for sure

Meanwhile: in Glesga 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

After Robinson promoted the “pro-UK” rally, the leader of Glasgow City Council warned him that he and his “ilk” were not welcome in the city.

Susan Aitken said: “Glasgow City Council has received no notification of any rally but then we know Tommy Robinson and his ilk don’t really care about respecting laws or public places.

He’s not welcome in Glasgow and neither is anyone who chooses to align with his poisonous rhetoric.”

@danielbsmith yeah I know others also use it but not to same extent as Russia - Russian military do rely on it more than others for secure comms & for spreading their propaganda from bloggers etc.... As well as fake news, disinformation that targets certain groups within the platform to try and split groups

Its a Russian "active measures" tool
