Hey look, the UK’s Online Safety Act is resulting in the targeting of queer content.

It's incredible how this story keeps getting worse.

I think it was under-reported (ie, not reported) that we came within a hair’s breadth of implementing a complete EU surveillance state *and* undermining the security of all messaging encryption on the 12th Dec last year.
Ireland was backing Hungary’s plan to do it.

This week I did an podcast interview with @tonygroves.bsky.social on the Echochamber podcast.
I was being asked about things covered in the Campaign Gists, and some of the wider context for the new government.
Listening back, I think it’s a conversation (positive).
