  3. A quotation from Abraham Fortas

    Any departure from absolute regimentation may cause trouble. Any variation from the majority’s opinion may inspire fear. Any word spoken, in class, in the lunchroom, or on the campus, that deviates from the view of another person may start an argument or cause a disturbance. But our Constitution says we must take this risk, and our history says that it is this sort of hazardous freedom — this kind of openness — that is the basis of our national strength and of the independence and vigor of Americans who grow up and live in this relatively permissive, often disputatious, society.

    Abraham Fortas (1910–1982) American academic, jurist, lawyer; US Supreme Court Justice (1965–69)
    Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, 393 U.S. 503, 508 (1969) [majority opinion]

  4. @inex ❌ In Russia, the classifieds platform Avito has blocked a woman’s account after she used it for messaging during internet outages.

    The service explained that the listing titled “Strict cat for friends” violated its rules because it did not offer a real product or service. The woman created it solely as a chat workaround, since Avito is included in the “whitelisted” resources accessible during shutdowns.

    ℹ️ Residents of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad region have been reporting for the third consecutive day a lack of mobile internet and problems accessing websites and banking services, according to “Current Time.” The “whitelists” have been tested since summer 2025, but even they remain unstable.

  6. Oh! Children and teenagers in swimwear is now sexual abuse material! So I guess now you can go to jail for making a photo of your own children on a beach, or making a selfie on a beach or at a swimming pool where random children or teenagers are running around in the background!

    "Pictures of teenage girls and children were altered to show them wearing swimwear, leading experts to say some of the content could be categorised as child sexual abuse material."

    The Guardian, theguardian.com/technology/202

    Maybe it's purpose is an excuse so that police can freely, frivolously, arbitrarily and wantonly break into anyone's home and rob them of their essential documents, phones and computers to intimidate them away from criticizing the government or living a nonconformist lifestyle?

  12. It's #FreeSpeechWeek - but is there reason to celebrate? With freedom of speech under fire from increasing surveillance around the globe our basic human rights - the right to privacy and the right to freedom of expression - are trampled upon in too many ways.

    The promise of the free and open internet has failed and in its place a system of chilling effects has been instituted.
