After all the campaigning work that’s been done by so many, if this comes to pass, it’s utterly unacceptable… @the-aop.org @creatorsrights.bsky.social
Ed Newton-Rex@ednewtonrex.bsky.social · 5mo ago🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

Carole Cadwalladr@carolecadwalla.bsky.social · last yr.This is what should be on every front page right now. What's happening in the US right now is an illegal power grab by a private citizen. IT'S A COUP. It's a digital coup. It's Musk who's leading it. The consequences are terrifying. And it's coming for us next. 1/ open.substack.com/pub/broligar...
