"Won't someone think of the children?!" @glynmoody.bsky.social warns UK's #ChildSafety plans could force #AgeVerification on all #VPN users. Meanwhile, rightsholders already leverage French & Spanish courts against VPNs. Core internet infrastructure is under siege.

Why #GenAI means the end of #copyright for software & re-invention of #OpenSource?
@glynmoody.bsky.social explores the question and envisions Open Source 2.0: open source hacking at a level above the code itself.

France's notorious #Hadopi stalled (for now): @glynmoody.bsky.social reports on the court victory by @laquadrature.bsky.social, gutting 15-year #copyright surveillance and turning the mechanism that cost €82M into a “giant spam machine.” Will France revive it?

Cancer Research UK (@cancerresearchuk.org) pulls #OpenAccess funding, saying publishers are “having their cake whilst also eating it” via hybrid journals. @glynmoody.bsky.social warns others may follow. Time to move towards #DiamondOA!

Google's AI-saturated search comes at a high price: @glynmoody.bsky.social warns it makes the Web invisible & increasingly irrelevant to users. By cutting off traffic to content creators, Google risks killing the very thing that sustains it. #AI #OpenWeb

#AI agents as copyright police: @glynmoody.bsky.social warns of a future where autonomous systems hunt alleged infringement, automatically send cease & desist notices & track down personal info. Automated takedowns on steroids. #AgenticAI #Copyright walledculture.org/welcome-to-t...
1/ Carte blanche for #LaLiga? @glynmoody.bsky.social warns Spain’s unchecked #piracy blocking, with flimsy legal basis & zero oversight, could end up worse than France’s #Hadopi & Italy’s #PiracyShield combined. Even a healthcare provider was blocked. #DigitalRights walledculture.org/spains-net-b...
What links Anne Frank's diary to the fate of #VPNs in the EU? A #CJEU case on #geoblocking. @glynmoody.bsky.social welcomes Advocate General Rantos' stance. A rare positive signal at a time when VPNs are under attack from some governments.

#CommonCorpus goes global: @glynmoody.bsky.social champions this transparent, open #AI training set as an antidote to proprietary black boxes. Governments & publishers should fund it, as it solves copyright headaches while democratising AI development. #PublicDomain walledculture.org/common-corpu...
