Want to know more about age verification, age assurance and what it means for your privacy online?. ORG has developed a website with key facts and advice on what the Online Safety Act means for you. Find out more ⬇️.

As age verification providers are not regulated, users could face providing their sensitive data over and over across different platforms. This means ID documents could be sent off to other countries and some sites will pick providers with poor privacy terms and conditions.

Grindr is rolling out age verification to comply with the Online Safety Act. The Act lets platforms choose the provider to do these checks and requires no certification for high privacy standards. Users deserve to have their data handled securely.

As there’s no public evidence of any link to terrorism or support of terrorist groups from Palestine Action, ORG supports their decision to appeal proscription. While we may have differing views on their tactics, we stand against this attack on their right to exist and speak up.

At the heart of this decision is the logic of ‘pre-crime’. Where the state intervenes not just against unlawful acts, but also against political expression that it considers might become threatening. This turns activism into extremism and a ‘national security threat’.

The proscription of Palestine Action starts tomorrow. This is a dangerous escalation in the criminalisation of political dissent. It’ll increase surveillance, particularly under the Prevent Duty, and censorship under the Online Safety Act. Read more ⬇️.

The eVisa scheme is the Windrush scandal on repeat. Thousands of people could find themselves unable to prove their legal right to be in the UK. But there's a simple solution to this mess: allow physical proof of immigration status. Write to your MP ⬇️.

Windrush scandal 2.0. 200k people who live legally in the UK could end up undocumented due to the eVisa scheme. In a rush to digitise proof of the right to be in the UK, older and digitally excluded people could be denied access to services and housing.

@anna_b_dent Privacy over profits!. We're fighting back against Meta's use of personal data to sell ads. Meta should give us options for opting-out of stalker ads. Until they do, you can use our tool to make this request. Act now to #StopStalkerAds ⬇️ .

@anna_b_dent By further automating ad audience selection, we'll have less chance of understanding why certain people are seeing which ads. It may also make it even harder to detect the use of proxy data that let advertisers dodge anti-discrimination or data processing laws. #StopStalkerAds.

ORG's new report exposes Meta’s intrusive profiling of its users. With the introduction of Generative AI to Meta’s ad tools, existing problems with opacity will get worse. 🗣️ @anna_b_dent, author of 'Profiling by Proxy'. ➡️ #StopStalkerAds

Tech that claims to 'predict' crime is only as 'objective' as the data it's fed. With crime data reflecting historic racist and discriminatory practices, we must act now to prevent injustice for over policed communities. Sign the petition to BAN it ⬇️.

First the police, now Big Tech wants to put 'crime-predicting' tech in probation services. A lack of transparency and reliance on flawed data means that institutional racism will be hardwired into the justice system. At the expense of dignity and rights.

@Meta @TanyaOCarroll It's up to us if we want targeted advertising or not. It's about consent. Meta's attempt to gaslight us in the hope we'll get tired or confused is another tactic to uphold an advertising model that isn't operating lawfully. Tell Meta #StopStalkerAds ⬇️.

@Meta @TanyaOCarroll Meta must change how it does business away from profiteering on the back of our personal data. Our report suggests other advertising models that can respect our rights, like contextual advertising or subscriptions for advertisers. #StopStalkerAds.

@Meta You have a legal right to object to your personal data being used for the purpose of targeted advertising. Meta even admitted they must respect this right when they settled @TanyaOCarroll's case. So why gaslight the rest of us?. #StopStalkerAds.

@Meta Meta profits by using your personal data for advertising. By crunching your data into profiles, you become a target for advertisers and a cash cow for Meta. Their latest attempt to claim to have honoured people's opt out request while ignoring the actual issue is shady stuff.

Don't you know that you're toxic. @Meta goes from ghosting to gaslighting. After our direct action, Meta is replying to 10k requests to opt out of Stalker Ads. They talk about not using personal data for some direct marketing. But don't mention targeted ads!. #StopStalkerAds
