  1. 🎭 Oh, look! An elite British puppet show has crossed the pond to America, starring NGOs with a flair for #drama and an overblown sense of moral superiority. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 Brace yourself for Act 2 of "Protect the Children," where #anonymity is the villain, and everyone gets a digital ID badge whether they want to be in the cast or not. 🎭🔍

  5. A quotation from Arendt

    The concentration camps, by making death itself anonymous (making it impossible to find out whether a prisoner is dead or alive), robbed death of its meaning as the end of a fulfilled life. In a sense they took away the individual’s own death, proving that henceforth nothing belonged to him and he belonged to no one. His death merely set a seal on the fact that he had never existed.

    Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
    Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 12 “Totalitarianism in Power,” sec. 3 (1951)

  6. @elsua54 I see you have good thoughts but also it's for the developers to share their troubles and considerations a bit more to literally share the burden out to people (both as physical work & solutions and also using the mass for thoughts and then team-focus on it when a genuis idea / offer come from the suggestions).

    e.g. #GrapheneOS replies seem a bit more personal while updating technically (they are invested and all-out into personal #privacy #anonymity to protect from corps).

  7. CW: fcc's ridiculous anti-anonymity & privacy proposal has 1 day left for comments (cw: uspol, auspol)

    RE: mas.to/@markwyner/116976783615

    if you're in the usa, please do whatever you can to protest against this proposal. we have this in australia and need to hand over a LOT of personal info to open a new phone account, like our driver's lisence and medicare card¹ because terrorists and other organised crime or something. basically enough to hit """100 points of id²""". we've subsequently had massive data breaches of local telecommunication companies, most famously the 2022 optus 1. plus the authorities and governments can gain access to our persomal info really easily if they have our phone numbers.

    ¹our medicare is somewhat different. it's 100% federal government run and owned, but it's definitely moreso universal healthcare than a kind of semi-insurance. there's still shit that isn't covered that should be (dental for adults, most mental health, lots of medical scans that aren't x-rays or ultrasounds...... it's fucked)

    ²each piece of pii falls into a category that has different points. this checklist from the australian federal police (afp) is probably used the most. afp.gov.au/sites/default/files

  9. 🚨 U.S. folks. There is one day left to comment on the FCC proposed rule to eradicate anonymity on all phone lines!

    If they pass this rule government ID, physical address, and alternative phone number will be required for every new phone line. Anonymous phone lines and burner phones will cease to exist. That means no connected privacy via cellular at protests.

    ** Please add your comment! **

    For the first field (proceedings) use these two:

    17-59 and 02-278

  13. Sign up with an alias email, a burn phone, and only use digital currency or cash to pay for your vpn or online services. You don't have to give anybody anything personal and if it's required then that is a huge red flag. And fuck those guys with a burning spike.

  14. Americans: “No! The government can’t issue an ID card for me! I will lose my anonymity!”

    Meanwhile, corporations are watching, tracking and analyzing them so thoroughly they know where they are, where they live, if they really want, and can afford to, buy something, or if someone is pregnant or is gay even before they know it…

    Good job with that #anonymity, folks! 👍

  16. @aeva I emphatically agree, I think that this policy should eventually extend to all forms of verifying something isn't generated by AI. If we don't find decentralised private ways to determine reality for ourselves then governments will be more than happy to give us permanent digital id

  17. #Wikipedia just dodged a bullet in the UK but is still in danger.
    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedi

    The bullet was the possibility of Category 1 classification under the UK Online Safety Act. It was spared that classification but remains on a "watch list" of platforms that "could become Category 1 at any point in the future."

    If Wikipedia is later classified as Category 1, then either (1) contributors could no longer be pseudonymous or (2) Wikipedia would be subject to severe penalties under UK law.

    How severe? The maximum penalty could include a fine up to £18 million, a UK-wide denial of access, and personal criminal liability for senior managers.

  18. Stealth Signals Are Bypassing Iran’s #Internet #Blackout

    source: spectrum.ieee.org/iran-interne…

    During this year’s internet blackout, we distributed official statements from Iranian opposition leader Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi and the U.S. #government. We provided first-aid tutorials for medics and injured protesters. We sent uncensored news reports from #BBC Persian, Iran International, IranWire, VOA Farsi, and others. We also shared critical #software packages including #anticensorship and #antisurveillance #tools, along with how-to guides to help people securely connect to #Starlink #satellite terminals, allowing them to stay protected and #anonymous as they sent their own communications.
