  1. Almeno quattro cittadini baluci sono stati arrestati a #Zahedan durante raid notturni delle forze di sicurezza iraniane. Gli agenti hanno fatto irruzione nelle abitazioni senza mandato, confiscando dispositivi di comunicazione e apparecchiature Starlink usate per accedere a internet satellitare. Le persone arrestate sono state trasferite in luoghi sconosciuti, mentre in #Iran continuano censura digitale, restrizioni e blackout della rete

  2. A quotation from Adlai Stevenson

    My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.

    Speech (1952-10-07), “Safeguards Against Communism,” Masonic Temple, Detroit, Michigan

  3. Digital checkpoints will crop up all over the Internet after UK MPs backed new powers to expand age verification.

    The only way to block under-16s is to run checks on everybody.

    That's millions more people having to hand over personal data to unregulated providers just to access everyday services.

  4. The problem of online harms lies with the underlying business models of social media platforms.

    Digital ID age checks do nothing to change that.

    We need to disrupt the advertising-driven business models built on surveillance, profiling and maximising engagement.

  5. Papers, please!

    Digital ID age checks have taken another lunge forward. UK MPs have agreed to new powers to expand age verification across online platforms.

    More and more everyday web services will be locked behind digital checkpoints, despite the serious privacy and security risks of this system.

  6. The UK Parliament continues to pursue an approach to online safety that doesn't work.

    The Australian under-16 social media ban has failed to make any difference and people have sought ways around it.

    Digital ID age checks come at the cost of everyone's privacy and free expression. The math ain't mathing.

  7. “In less than a year, we’ve gone from proposals to check ID for porn to the prospect of checking ID to access social media or unlock everyday features such as livestreams or feeds.

    These online ID systems put both children and adults’ sensitive data at risk.”
