For years we were told that traditional communications would remain for those who need them. All the while, the ability to function in and transact with companies, governments and society has become more exclusively digital. Now what, just leave the offline people behind? #digitalexclusion

Nena Georgantzi of @ageplatformeu.bsky.social: The EU’s #DisabilityStrategy could better include ageing and persons acquiring a disability in older age. Older people who are unable to use an important online app can be put under guardianship and diminished in their rights.

What if we could tackle the seemingly separate issues of #DigitalExclusion and #ewaste at once?

In this report, we investigate the barriers to redistributing unused devices to those in need, and offer recommendations for policymakers.

Blocking Access to Harmful Content Will Not Protect Children Online, No Matter How Many Times UK Politicians Say So www.eff.org/deeplinks/20... wide-ranging post by Paige Collings @eff.org

Once this information is shared to verify a user's age, there's no way for people to know how it's going to be retained or used by that company, including whether it will be sold or shared with even more third parties like data brokers or law enforcement. The more information a website collects, the more chances there are for that information to get into the hands of a marketing company, a bad actor, or a state actor or someone who has filed a legal request for it. If a website, or one of the intermediaries it uses, misuses or mishandles the data, the visitor might never find out. There is also a risk that this data, once collected, can be linked to other unrelated web activity, creating an aggregated profile of the user that grows more valuable as each new data point is added.

Who needs the high numbers of tourists we get from our nearest neighbour countries? Unless I've misunderstood the UK Gov's own instructions it seems European tourists are unwelcome from April if they dont have a mobile phone or computer. #DigitalExclusion

1️⃣ Digital health tools promise more efficient and accessible healthcare—but do they benefit everyone equally?

Last night, Prof @trishgreenhalgh.bsky.social explored how digitalisation can actually deepen health inequalities by creating new barriers.

Don't interpret 2FA as only mobile phones. It should always include email and landline. I don't have a mobile phone, and there's no signal in my house even if I did! #DigitalExclusion.
