💡 Laws in Tunisia and Turkey are reshaping digital speech—strategically. And they’re part of a bigger trend: democratic backsliding.

Chilling effect
We reached out to senior decision makers working in global health about the new Certificate peer learning programme for equity in research and practice.
Crickets.
One CEO wrote: “We aren’t currently in a position to enter into new strategic partnerships on the topic.”
The chilling effect is real.
Many organizations are retreating from publicly championing equity work—even those with deep commitments to fairness and inclusion.
But here’s the opportunity: While public discourse faces headwinds, meaningful work continues through trusted networks and communities of practice.
This is precisely when innovation in equity approaches accelerates—away from the spotlight but with profound impact.
The evidence is clear: health systems that neglect equity waste resources and deliver poorer outcomes.
When research excludes key populations or policies overlook certain communities, we all lose—through inefficiency, increased costs, and diminished impact.
This moment calls for courage from those who understand that equity is fundamental to effective health systems.
“The ultimate measure of a person is not where they stand in moments of comfort, but where they stand at times of challenge.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
If you’re still committed to this essential work, you’re not alone.
Question: How are you maintaining momentum on equity work during challenging times?

🧊What are chilling effects? In Tunisia and Turkey, fear of prison leads to silence. Our new research explores how digital speech laws suppress public participation.

“I thought that patrol staffing is struggling right now,” said Councilor Angelita Morillo, who has also raised tough questions about the Police Bureau. “The whole thing just looks a little weird.”
PPB & PPA always pretend to be so beleaguered, but constantly find resources for gratuitous, anti-democratic intimidation tactics. Uniformed officers with qualified immunity to kill Portlanders, acting like vindictive, creepy little bigots.

@openrightsgroup I'd like to offer a potential solution to the issue at hand. Wouldn't it be sufficient to change the legal entity to one outside of the UK and relocate the physical hosting to another country? This way, UK law would not be applicable, and enforcement would be more challenging for governments.
In general, it's often too expensive for governments to pursue lawsuits in other jurisdictions, and local authorities are not eager to facilitate international law enforcement. I think it's worth exploring the possibility of finding someone to create a LLC or similar legal entity to act as the legal responsible party.
As I'm sure you're aware, many fellow entrepreneurs here have experience with setting up legal entities, and you could probably find someone willing to help. Additionally, I believe that many users here have experience with running servers, so it's likely that we could find someone to help with the technical aspects as well.
If someone from the UK were to approach me about setting up a company for a good cause in Switzerland, the US, or the EU, I would be happy to help, and I'm sure many others here would feel the same way. What do you think?

"On Sunday 16th March 2025 (the last day prior to the Online Safety Act taking effect) I will delete the virtual servers hosting LFGSS and other communities, and effectively immediately end the approximately 300 small communities that I run, and the few large communities such as LFGSS."
(13/N) The sixth, and last, category of adversaries:
“They”
“They” want to define boundaries and acceptable behavior for the masses, as well as monitor compliance on a large scale, and enforce it on an individual level.
As a consequence, permanent mass #surveillance of all types of assets is a means of monitoring the compliance of the majority, and of detecting deviant behavior. Legalizing more and more monitoring options becomes a goal, including international partnerships on information exchange. Depriving you of your assets, temporarily or permanently, is a means of enforcing your compliance or obedience. The mere threat of this can be sufficient to create a #ChillingEffect.
State-sponsored actors (such as hacker groups) and nation-state threat actors (in the form of intelligence services, law enforcement, censorship offices, and other #government agencies) fall into this category. It also includes #companies that have either a monopoly, or a significant share of an oligopolistic market, or portfolio of services specifically targeted at the public sector.
While the entities in this category may seem wildly heterogeneous at first, remember that there are #RevolvingDoors between them, for swapping their respective “ex” members. Beyond lobbying, there is also a complex, ongoing collaboration between many of them, which has been described as “grey intelligence”, “grey policing”, “public-private partnership”, etc.

#RfC: Should a blackout be organized in protest of the Wikimedia Foundation's actions?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/2024_Wikipedia_blackout
As part of the ongoing court case #ANI vs. #WMF, the WMF has received orders from the #DelhiHighCourt to disclose #PersonallyIdentifyingInformation of editors in a sealed cover letter and is considering complying.
Should the English #Wikipedia blackout all of the site for 2-3 days in protest of this?
Option A: Yes
Option B: No

Die unvermeidliche dauerhafte Identifizierung wird dafür sorgen, dass sich viele Leute - aus berechtiger Sorge - bei ihrem politischen Engagement zurückhalten. #ChillingEffect
Unter keinen Umständen dürften staatliche Behörden derartiger Machtbefugnisse erhalten!
Ich sehe gerade: Es scheint mir etwas ungerecht, @dw_innovation für den Chilling Effect der neoliberalen bzw. libertären Indoktrination bei der Deutschen Welle insgesamt anzusprechen.
Es war aber der einzige Fediverse-Kontakt, den ich gefunden habe.
Wenn ich das richtig sehe, dann hat @dw_innovation eine recht gute Themenauswahl - nur leider reichlich wenig und dünn ..

Kritik an einer neuen #Regelanfrage, Josef Franz Lindner im WDR5-Politikum, ab 03:49.
Wo beginnt die Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit (Art. 5 GG)? Wenn ich mich nicht mehr traue gewisse Dinge im Internet zu sagen oder auf Webseiten zu linken, weil ich Angst davor habe ins Fadenkreuz der rechten Parteien und ihrer Funktionäre zu geraten? Und ich muss gar nicht auf die Machtergreifung der #fckafd warten. Wie der Fall Radio Dreyeckland zeigt, reicht jetzt schon ein Link auf „die falsche Webseite“, um Cops einen Vorwand zu liefern dir die Bude zu stürmen. #chillingEffect
@JoshuaHolland that is intentional #ChillingEffect...
Q: Did they also drag protestors into unmarked vans??
Cuz that did already hapoen at least once before in NYC...
@marcan Still, the #ChillingEffect is big...
Granted, everyone who does #cleanroom #emulation seriously refuses to even look into the direction of #Nintendo's #Leaks...
