Laws in Tunisia and Turkey are reshaping digital speech—strategically. And they’re part of a bigger trend: democratic backsliding.

What are chilling effects? In Tunisia and Turkey, fear of prison leads to silence. Our new research explores how digital speech laws suppress public participation.

“I thought that patrol staffing is struggling right now,” said Councilor Angelita Morillo, who has also raised tough questions about the Police Bureau. “The whole thing just looks a little weird.”
PPB & PPA always pretend to be so beleaguered, but constantly find resources for gratuitous, anti-democratic intimidation tactics. Uniformed officers with qualified immunity to kill Portlanders, acting like vindictive, creepy little bigots.

@openrightsgroup I'd like to offer a potential solution to the issue at hand. Wouldn't it be sufficient to change the legal entity to one outside of the UK and relocate the physical hosting to another country? This way, UK law would not be applicable, and enforcement would be more challenging for governments.
In general, it's often too expensive for governments to pursue lawsuits in other jurisdictions, and local authorities are not eager to facilitate international law enforcement. I think it's worth exploring the possibility of finding someone to create a LLC or similar legal entity to act as the legal responsible party.
As I'm sure you're aware, many fellow entrepreneurs here have experience with setting up legal entities, and you could probably find someone willing to help. Additionally, I believe that many users here have experience with running servers, so it's likely that we could find someone to help with the technical aspects as well.
If someone from the UK were to approach me about setting up a company for a good cause in Switzerland, the US, or the EU, I would be happy to help, and I'm sure many others here would feel the same way. What do you think?

"On Sunday 16th March 2025 (the last day prior to the Online Safety Act taking effect) I will delete the virtual servers hosting LFGSS and other communities, and effectively immediately end the approximately 300 small communities that I run, and the few large communities such as LFGSS."
(13/N) The sixth, and last, category of adversaries:
“They”
“They” want to define boundaries and acceptable behavior for the masses, as well as monitor compliance on a large scale, and enforce it on an individual level.
As a consequence, permanent mass #surveillance of all types of assets is a means of monitoring the compliance of the majority, and of detecting deviant behavior. Legalizing more and more monitoring options becomes a goal, including international partnerships on information exchange. Depriving you of your assets, temporarily or permanently, is a means of enforcing your compliance or obedience. The mere threat of this can be sufficient to create a #ChillingEffect.
State-sponsored actors (such as hacker groups) and nation-state threat actors (in the form of intelligence services, law enforcement, censorship offices, and other #government agencies) fall into this category. It also includes #companies that have either a monopoly, or a significant share of an oligopolistic market, or portfolio of services specifically targeted at the public sector.
While the entities in this category may seem wildly heterogeneous at first, remember that there are #RevolvingDoors between them, for swapping their respective “ex” members. Beyond lobbying, there is also a complex, ongoing collaboration between many of them, which has been described as “grey intelligence”, “grey policing”, “public-private partnership”, etc.

#RfC: Should a blackout be organized in protest of the Wikimedia Foundation's actions?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/2024_Wikipedia_blackout
As part of the ongoing court case #ANI vs. #WMF, the WMF has received orders from the #DelhiHighCourt to disclose #PersonallyIdentifyingInformation of editors in a sealed cover letter and is considering complying.
Should the English #Wikipedia blackout all of the site for 2-3 days in protest of this?
Option A: Yes
Option B: No

Das ist wahr! Die vielen Handy-Kameras haben einen massiven #chillingEffect!
Andererseits: Die gibt es in #London genauso plus eine umfassende Videoüberwachung in der ganzen Stadt, fast wie Peking. Vielleicht sind die Leute es da schon so gewöhnt, daß ihnen alles egal ist
@JoshuaHolland that is intentional #ChillingEffect...
Q: Did they also drag protestors into unmarked vans??
Cuz that did already hapoen at least once before in NYC...
„KI“-Überwachung ist gefährlich und beraubt uns unserer Menschlichkeit. Das und noch mehr habe ich der Washington Post über die automatisierte #Verhaltenskontrolle am #Hansaplatz erzählt:

Tentatively, good news. This circuit court order would have had a terrible chilling effect on government efforts to oppose disinformation.
It's #BookBan madness and #ChillingEffect all wrapped up in one story.
Newspaper advertisement warning to all Australians, that the #USA has a Law of #UniversalJurisdiction and that the scapegoat #journalist being blamed for the decline of the US, #JulianAssange is its target now, but "it can happen to anyone".
This is from #DickSmith's website (Jan 2022). Distractions might be tempting but #Australia need to start getting off their backsides on this.
