Ofcom ‘will get more power than spies’ to monitor apps
Ofcom is being given authority under the Online Safety Bill to force tech companies to crack down on terrorism and child abuse content on private messaging apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram and Signal.
These services are “end-to-end” encrypted, meaning that only the users know the content of messages, not the platforms. Under the bill, however, the regulator would be able to order companies to use technology to scan messages to root out terrorism or child abuse. A failure to comply would result in a fine of up to 10 per cent of the company’s worldwide revenue.
The powers granted to Ofcom “permits the state to compel [tech firms] to carry out surveillance of the content of communications on a generalised and widespread basis”, Matthew Ryder, a human rights barrister, said in a legal opinion commissioned by Index on Censorship, a free speech organisation.
Ofcom would not need prior authorisation for issuing a demand for scanning messages and there is no independent oversight of such powers, Ryder said. This means that Ofcom would be able to act more freely than GCHQ does, which has a far more limited power of surveillance governed by the Investigatory Powers Act.

A conversation between two, good colleagues of mine. Their experience helped each of them clearly understand that we were (& still are) being lied to.
The new information, for those who haven’t read up on Katherine Watt, is that the line of authorisation of these experimental gene injections isn’t the Food & Drug Administration. An astonishing realisation.

"Understanding and neutralising covid-19 misinformation and disinformation"
A disgraceful article published two days ago in the BMJ. Yuxi Wang, John Bye, Karam Bales et al appeal to shut down all opposing voices to Government health policy, including in the Covid-19 Public Inquiry.
"During the covid-19 pandemic, several groups have been active in opposing evidence based public health measures."
"A rapid rise in misinformation and disinformation in digital and physical environments over a short period is called an infodemic"
"Active management of infodemics must form part of a comprehensive pandemic response"
"Further investigations into the social and public health effects of misinformation groups are needed to inform policy."
"The covid-19 inquiry team has now reported on the consultation about its terms of reference. Those analysing the responses found that 15% of submissions were “campaigns and duplicates.” This raises the question of what a campaign is. When different groups submit versions of the same text, the connection is obvious. But other links are less obvious: for example, the BBC reports that UsForThem, which has attracted high level support from politicians in its campaign against restrictions in schools, has links with the Health Advisory and Recovery Team (HART), which in turn has worked on a campaign against children being vaccinated against covid-19. HART, meanwhile, shares members with groups that have opposed vaccination, such as the UK Medical Freedom Alliance and the Children’s Health Defence.”
How and why was this published? THIS is anti-science.

"Before the Behavioural Insights Team was created, some of its members were working at the Institute for Government, where they were commissioned by the Cabinet Office to author a report on influencing behaviour with academics from the London School of Economics and Imperial College.
The MINDSPACE report was the result, and helped to make the case for the establishment of the Behavioural Insights Team at the heart of the UK Government.
The MINDSPACE report continues to be used by the Behavioural Insights Team as a framework to aid the application of behavioural science to the policymaking process.
The report sets out nine of the most robust influences on our behaviour, which are captured in the simple mnemonic – MINDSPACE."

Give you something to think about.
Why should we pay cash everywhere with banknotes instead of a card?
- I have a £50 banknote in my pocket. I go to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it. The restaurant owner then uses the note to pay for the laundry. The laundry owner then uses the note to pay the barber. The barber will then use the note for shopping. After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a £50, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made..
- But if I come to a restaurant and pay for dinner digitally - Card bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around £1.50 and so the fee will be £1.50 for each further payment transaction or owner re laundry or payments of the owner of the laundry shop, or payments of the barber etc..... Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial £50 will remain only £5 and the remaining £45 became the property of the bank thanks to all digital transactions and fees.
👍😉👊
PS: it’s now 4 months since I used my card and I love it. More human interactions, more questions, more conversations about why cash needs to be everyone’s priority. No one needs to know where I shop, how much I spend and what I buy 🤷🏻♀️. I am not okay with a digital currency - no way 🚫

UKMFA Open Letter to Dr Kamran Abbasi, BMJ Editor in Chief, re Published Article Smearing UKMFA
UKMFA have sent an open letter of complaint to the BMJ Editor in Chief regarding the article linked below, which contains insinuations and unsubstantiated and unreferenced allegations concerning our organisation, and which appears to seek to undermine our contribution to a critical debate of national importance.
We evidence that the approach of the authors borders on the defamatory, is manifestly unscientific, and falls short of the editorial standards that the BMJ professes to uphold. We were also disappointed not to have been offered the customary “right to reply” by the BMJ before the article was published. We have requested an immediate retraction of the article and a published apology from the authors.

In a recent interview with German TV public broadcaster MDR, senior editor at the British Medical Journal Dr. Peter Doshi expressed that that “Our legacy media has not done a good job in providing balanced coverage about the vaccines."
"The trials were never designed to study infection. That's the most important point. And that limitation was noted. In black and white, it's written up in the FDA's reports from December 2020."
“We’re not getting the information we need to make better choices and to have a more informed understanding of risk and benefit.”
These concerns are rarely acknowledged or even known about by the average citizen. Big Tech along with governments are engaged in a massive censorship campaign, and these (COVID-19 vaccine) concerns have been virtually non-existent in mainstream media coverage.
