👁️People WRONGLY thrown out of @sainsburys & other shops using this tech shared powerful testimonies during our Victims Summit in Parliament. One victim's husband was left "shaking from head to toe". Read coverage of the summit⤵️

Victims' stories are critical evidence to bring widespread attention to facial recognition errors. If we do nothing, every one of us will be at risk of wrongful criminal accusations. Take action to #StopSainsburysSpying ⤵️

🆔Passport ID checks for social media will make your data a honeypot for hackers. "There is no way to give your ID information online in a way that is privacy-secure." - @mayathomas98 Tell your MP - NO passports for the internet ⤵️

🚨BREAKING: All Britons may need ID to use social media, the UK's online safety regulator today announces “This plan for a government ‘social media ban’ is a national ID system by the back door. Both the government and Ofcom have admitted that children will get around the ban, which means the real effect will be normalising adults and children alike to hand over their passports just to get online. Hundreds of thousands of people without ID, who tend to be poorer people, and many more who don’t want to risk handing their passports over to foreign tech companies will be locked out of huge parts of the internet. The plan will kill anonymity online, whilst the UK’s culture of speech policing is reaching a crisis point. The policy is painfully misguided, an Orwellian assault on free speech and privacy, and will make children no safer at all. The false illusion that children aren’t on social media will cause the companies to abandon all their child safety measures. The Government could be promoting meaningful safety measures and supporting parental controls that genuinely protect children - instead, they’re demanding government ID from the whole population just for uncensored internet access. It is authoritarian madness.” - Silkie Carlo | @silkiecarlo Read ⤵️

🔴Stop spying on all of us @sainsburys We were in Parliament yesterday with innocent people who were WRONGLY accused of being criminals by shops' use of Orwellian facial recognition. We're telling Sainsbury's to stop the rollout of facial recognition in 200 stores.

🔴Ban shops' use of live facial recognition "There's no world in which retailers can use a mass surveillance system responsibly as evidenced in this room." - Silkie Carlo [@silkiecarlo] Nobody should be subjected to AI face scans just for doing their weekly shopping.

Over 6,000 people have told @sainsburys to stop using facial recognition using our tool. Help us pile on the pressure and keep the momentum up. Take action to #StopSainsburysSpying ⤵️

⚖️The censorial #OnlineSafetyAct became law on this day, three years ago. The result? Orwellian stories of censorship like @AnnekaSvenska's. Police turned up at her home and urged her to take an "online thinking skills course" after she exposed animal abuse on social media.

Our brand new report reveals the BLEAK state of free speech in Britain - and how we can fight back. Read⤵️
