You should blog because if you do, someday you'll get a message from a total stranger somewhere else in the world, telling you what it meant to them and thanking you for it, and it will mean more to you than you have any hope of expressing.

⚠️ The Online Safety Bill has been passed in the UK Parliament. ⚠️
The threat it poses to our right to privacy and freedom of expression will soon become law.
It'll make us less secure, including the children and young people that the law is supposed to protect.

One of my favourite bits of media history trivia is that back in the Elizabethan period, people used to publish unauthorised copies of plays by sending someone who was good with shorthand to discretely write down all of the play's dialogue while they watched it, then reconstructing the play by combining those notes with audience interviews to recover the stage directions; in some cases, these unauthorised copies are the only record of a given play that survives to the present day. It's one of my favourites for two reasons:
1. It demonstrates that piracy has always lay at the heart of media preservation; and
2. Imagine being the 1603 equivalent of the guy with the cell phone camera in the movie theatre, furtively scribbling down notes in a little book and hoping Shakespeare himself doesn't catch you.][5] ([remote][6])
