NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.
It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.

If 26 people remember your appalling racist behaviour as a schoolboy and are willing to call you out for it 50 years later you cannot simply brush it off and say it doesn't matter.
"The child is the father of the man," as William Wordsworth once put it. And this father was a nasty bullying bigot.

Just so we're clear, one incident of alleged anti-semitism by a musician = a major national scandal that should be roundly condemned.
Multiple incidents of alleged anti-semitism from the man leading the race to run the country = a load of nothing that should be completely ignored

So today I found out that my TED talk ‘This is What a Digital Coup Looks Like’ was TED’s most watched talk of the year.
It’s sort of amazing & terrifying. Because this *is* what a digital coup looks like.

Dear Bluesky,
www.thenerve.news is still tiny. We launched it with no dirty money (no money at all, lol!). But we're proving what's possible with a small expert team & no billionaire owners.
We knew the UK press wouldn't understand or properly cover this story, so we did. Thank you for the support!

This is what is happening. It is cynical. It is strategic. It is organised. It is well funded.
