Far too late, people now know that better alternatives that respect their users exist. Sure massive corpos will still use unity but it’s not the indie darling it once was.

I was in court the other day and it turns out that while they send us the evidence videos encrypted (and never give us the right password), the government’s lawyer had it all on onedrive 🫠
I’ve withheld information in that I haven’t provided you with details of an ongoing legal case? Idk the legal ramifications of that and I never said I was just holding a sign, it says “protest march” in the title. I’m not going to spend my free time photographing my legal documents to prove that I’m not lying because what would the point be? Even if I were lying, I have linked proof of all the awful repressive shit happening, it’s not really about me. Also “The UN might not have anything to do with your case” but the linked report specifically references people getting extreme punishments for the same crime of a march. I’m not trying to “deceive” you, I’m just not wasting my time arguing with strangers on the internet about if I’m lying or not. Government suck, get your priorities in order xoxo
Fun fact: an act of vandalism could also be an act of protest at the same time 🤯
Not sure what the value in taking photos of all of the pages for random people on the internet to look at. You can disbelieve me if you want, I don’t mind, but please look at what the UN have to say about it (Linked in the post). I imagine you might trust them more than me.
Edit to respond to your edit: We were marching in a road. I was arrested under Section 12 of the Public Order Act (1986), then it was dropped, then like 6 months later I got posted a charge for Wilful Obstruction of the Highway. This is the most paperwork I’ve had for a case, more than the criminal damage case I had (apparently water based paint that they wiped off while we sat there still counts as criminal damage and nullifies your right to protest).
Oh and people have been sent to prison for standing with a sign. Oil companies have taken out “civil injunctions” (read: custom laws) to make it illegal to protest near their oil terminals: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/sep/16/more-than-50-just-stop-oil-protesters-in-uk-sent-to-jail-on-one-day This is also referenced in the UN report.
Yeah it’s super super repressive. I was held in custody (think solitary confinement) for 54 hours for a 10 minute march around parliament square another time. I’m also currently banned from London so can’t join the protests for Palestine happening there. I have friends who were put on GPS tags and not allowed to leave their home for similar marches. One other friend had their GPS tag set up wrong so police turned up and told her she was breaking her bail conditions by going in her bathroom because that’s outside the zone the police set for her 🙃
There’s no legal recourse, who am I going to complain to, the police? Lots of what they’re doing is illegal under their own laws and, more often, international law. But laws are nothing if they aren’t enforced.
Sadly the amount and variance of videos on peertube pales in comparison to youtube. I need my Sherlock Holmes audio books 😩
