It used to be transparency activists that had mobiles searched entering the US. Now they are dead or silenced, a more authoritarian Trump regime expands the list to include "person of interests" affiliated with human rights organisations like Amnesty International arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

One of the few UK publications talking truth to power is effectively banned from covering UK Conservatives conference in a move that confirms conservatives' Trumpian aspirations.

@bbcrosatkins.bsky.social I don't think there is a BBC-news account here on Bluesky. Can you inform your colleagues that attribution of responsibility shouldn't be to to a technology but to the company using the technology. You wouldn't write "Gun kills man" when you knew who held the gun.

Journalists should not attribute liability to a technology but to the company behind the technology. @theguardian.com , it should be "OpenAI leaked images from users" www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

BBC was captured by the hard Conservative when Boris Johnson was PM. Robbie Gibb, Richard Sharp and Tim Davie gave a hard right bias which led to an exodus of journalists believing in unbiased reporting. BBC, helped by most UK media, is pushing the Overton window further to the right
