Nor one can be trusted in power. Any government will win people if not always and challenged. And the task becomes more urgent as new monitoring technologies and controls developed.
The UK government is run by a person’s attorney with the right person. The secretary secretary at home Yvette Cooper, has expressed his praise for parliament infrura. However such credentials do nothing to protect us from attacks on our basic rights. With a large majority, there is no formal constitutional check and a fierce, poorly liable management machine, this administration abuses the power of the preceding conservatives.
Although there is difficult competition, Cooper’s precoton In the action group of protest in the picture of Terrorism Act 2000 is probably the most deployed thing that has been done with any home secretary for 30 years. If Palestine moves Legal Problem In order failed, you can receive 14 years of jail as a terrorist for only to express support. It is a great threat to the right to protest and in free speech.
In 2001, as the work begins with strength, I am warned It is available to ban nonviioient protest groups and imprison those who support them. Tony Blair’s government supporters told me that I speak the trash: its purpose is to stay safe from people who want to kill and invite us. At the time, Cooper was a junior minister. Maybe he knows what Act can do. Now he believes the warning.
Like to offer the Laws of anti-protest tortiThis action application as an answer to lobbyists. The junktanks of Tufton StreetIn concert with billion media, called always – more extreme measures For protesters showing against Gaza genocide. The government looks like Share details of Contact In police and prosecutors of the curpets with Israel at the Embassy: There is a deep captivity between law enforcement and interest in a foreign state.
In response to the lobby, the UK became well Most criticism on All demalic democracies. Same as legislation and application, it looks like a repressive autocracy. You can see it not only to serious sentences For peaceful protests but also in unique double patterns provided – a classic sign of Authoritarian Mind: “For my friends all, for my enemies the law”. While climate protesters were arrested for setting the roadway, even if a group of peasant tractors The road is blocked Where the Keir sorrow gives a talk, force him to flight, not only without catching carried out but, as far as I know, no minister speaks about it.
Far from changing anti-protest laws protested by Tories, Labor Awarry Awing of a Clause (Section 124) falls in the current Crime and policing bill. It is not well found by any legislators or public, it increases police powers to protest protest. Police can choose demonstrations close to a place of worship that they decide to become scary to worshipers. As almost all urban areas consist of an area of worship, it empowers the police, using their own discretion, to close any expressions of opposition.
Palestine action is not dangerous to democracy. But Cooper. I have no doubt that, they are active today, the secretary of the house will grow as a terrorist organization of the infruraget he claims to respect.
One of the reasons for global democratic shrinkage is the increasing unfair arms between governments and their people. During the French revolution, governments feared people, as the distance between pipes and pitchforks is not very good. But as states develop – more sophisticated weapons, their powers can no longer be paired with their sought to crumble. In combination with face recognition technology, now widely supplied to the UK Among many other countries, systems of weapons, for military and civil use, especially increases the distance between state and citizens. This is the future we appear to be in a hurry to, without any democratic debate.
In all the world, autonomous systems of weapon weapons are in progress, mostly for the use of war. Ukraine and Russia are in the middle of a Robot Armfacilitate the striking speed. In Gaza, Israel has Automatically select its targetwith awful results.
As security sources explained in +972 magazines in April 2024, Israel Lavender there Ang programa nagtimaan sa mga 37,000 nga mga Palestinian ingon nga gidudahang “mga militante nga” Hamas “, nga nagpili niini ingon mga potensyal nga target alang sa pagpatay. Usa ka dugang nga programa, nga adunay makasasala nga ngalan kung diin ang amahan?, Gisubay kini sa ilang mga balay aron sila ibomba sa gabii, kanunay nga makapatay dili lamang sa ilang mga pamilya apan daghan pa nga mga tawo sa parehas nga bloke. “Sa higayon nga moadto ka awtomatiko,” usa sa mga gigikanan nagsulti sa Journal, “The target generation is crazy.” Almost all in Gaza is given a lavender rating between 1 and 100. When the number of AI system is very high, the name Add to the execution list. That will be treated as a military command, although operators know at least 10% of the targets miss.
Anyone imagining that such systems cannot be obtained by governments for use against their citizens deceiving themselves. Like the autonomous targeting of the Autonomous Driature of Munitions, which can come from tears of rubber bullets in metal ammunition, capture governments. Real Robocops are likely to have propellers, not legs.
As the Stop killer robots Campaigned, such machines Dehumanise US: We become a set of data points, to interpret with an algorithm. Once a system of weapon autonomous programmed, oppressive regimes can comfort themselves responsibility for what it is. Ai reinforced prejudice and discrimination: The way it insures black and brown people and other minorities that police are not selected.
Once such systems are in place, they are very difficult to break. If you make a market you make a lobby, and the lobby insists on the maintenance of its investments. Systems of weapons of autonomous weapons, for military use and civilian, necessary prohibited under international law before they progress despite.
Controlling technologies are rampage while democratic rights of grouping. We drunk toward extreme political opposition, driven by capital and foreign states, driven by Automation. This is why we should protest – now, while we can.
