Omg what movie is that? Preteen / teenage me feels Seen af. (28:50 "nukyuler". Reminds me of when I saw the pronunciation of sexual reproduction in, of course, a McGraw-Hill textbook as "sek-shul".) youtube.com/watch?v=eqsJAEnHPn…

What if the UK taxed every single individual, company, organisation, or entity that does business here here?
Offset by a Personal Tax Allowance but for commercial activities.
Have a bare minimum amount of taxation that MUST be paid SOMEWHERE in the world.
Any amount unpaid elsewhere is charged here.
This might encourage tax havens to charge what otherwise stays with the people and orgs profiting from their complicity.

Half of that goes into a low-income and/or pre-UBI fund for anyone living, travelling, or related to the UK. So UK people, but also commonwealth citizens and residents, but also people here on holiday whose home country has a civil war or something.

Huh. Maybe. My FairPhone 3+ has seen quite a thwacking recently. I should repair it but frankly I do not have the brain space. Would be happy to sell it to someone who does. shop.fairphone.com/the-fairpho… and shop.fairphone.com/the-fairpho… For your non-techie friends.

While you're here: stopkosa.com/

Kids and minors need parental involvement. Parents need community support.
Communities need UBI and UBS, Universal Basic Income and Universal Basic Services (including public transport that is *good* and comfortable, and more).

Your needs matter. Unmet needs are still needs. "Surviving" is not thriving. An unpleasant life isn't something to struggle through and be proud of. Dream bigger for yourself and others.

"Thank you for making this. I hadn't even heard of the first org, the rebranded one. Also gov.uk/government/publications… For anyone else horrified. This is just the Snoopers' Charter again, Is2g.

Literally goes against info security advice over the past 30 years, ffs. Not that the Online Surveillance Act addresses any of its asserted aims, anyway! We need infographics aimed at parents and carers: explain how to active Parental Controls, and describe how their lives will be harder from the Act.

Teach the parents and carers you know how to activate Parental Controls on their devices and networks.
Teach the kids and teenagers (and adults!) you know that their body is their own."
You are allowed to say "no", it's not your fault if someone ignores that, and whatever you feel about your own experiences is ok.

Proton's CEO kinda went MAGA half a year ago, btw. I recommend Mullvad VPN instead.
Keep signing the petition tho. If nothing else, it boosts morale and wider attention on public opinion.

Also... It's nobody's favorite topic, but...

Teach the parents and carers you know how to activate Parental Controls on their devices and networks.
Teach the kids and teenagers (and adults!) you know that their body is their own.
You are allowed to say "no", it's not your fault if someone ignores that, and whatever you feel about your own experiences is ok.
If your story is different, then that's okay too. If you have better advice or resources, please share them.
