Clamp down on the far-right agitators spreading hatred online.
Implement the National Action Plan against Racism.
Implement hate speech laws instead of defending our failure to comply with EU laws in the Court of Justice of the European Union.

The silence from the Minister for Justice Jim O'Callaghan on this issue that he is directly responsible for for three weeks is sickening.

Heartbroken to see a sign saying "I'm leaving this country" at the protest against racist violence outside Government Buildings. That's exactly what they wanted.

Journalists - if you are going to report or repeat Israel's statement that one of the Al Jazeera journalists it murdered overnight was a Hamas leader, please outline for readers, viewers and listeners how you verified their claim before presenting it to your audience.

It is my opinion that introducing age verification now is irresponsible, mainly because we have now reached the point where Western governments *are* using "the database state" and exploiting online surveillance to be repressive - just as privacy activists warned for decades. This applies to UK & US

This, and it doesn't work.
Now, it is possible to address the harms of mass engagement-driven platforms. But doing so requires pushing back on the core biz models of the platforms, not tinkering on the edges w surveillant 'solutions' that increase surveillance w/o addressing the root cause.

Excellent thread that everyone who thinks gender and sex are as simple as you learned in school should read before they ever offer up an opinion of any kind on trans or intersex people
In 1890, the X and Y chromosomes were discovered. It was found that the men who were tested had 46 chromosomes, including an X and a Y, while women who were tested also had 46 chromosomes, including 2 X chromosomes.
So obviously the conclusion was that the Y chromosome defined masculinity.
