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]More about this quote: wist.info/fortas-abe/13226/

The Internet Gave Everyone a Voice, Unfortunately
I’ve got to tell you, the internet is something else, isn’t it? I mean, think about it, we have this incredible tool, this global network that connects us all, that allows us to share information and communicate with anyone, anywhere, at any time. It’s like the ultimate democracy of ideas, right? Everyone gets a voice! Oh, what a beautiful dream!
Oh, but wait! It turns out, maybe not everyone should have a voice? Maybe, just maybe, some opinions are better kept to yourself? I know, I know, it’s a controversial take. But hear me out!
Before the internet, if you had a terrible opinion, you had to keep it within your family. Maybe ruin Christmas dinner. Now you can ruin somebody’s morning in another country before breakfast! And don’t get me started on the comments sections. Have you seen the comments sections? It’s like the wild west out there. No rules, no consequences, just an endless stream of unfiltered nonsense.
And what’s with all these people who start every post with ‘Nobody asked, but…’ or ‘I wasn’t going to speak about this, but…’? Buddy, if nobody asked and you weren’t going to speak about it, then DON’T! Nobody’s twisting your arm here. But no, they’ve got to share their unsolicited hot take on whatever topic is trending that day. And God forbid you disagree with them, they’ll be at your doorstep, ready for a duel at dawn.
What about online trolls? “Hey, you know what really grinds my gears? When people don’t like my opinion on the internet. No, seriously, that’s like the number one crime in the online world. Say something controversial, and suddenly you’re Public Enemy Number One. It’s like, relax, bro. It’s just the internet. Nobody cares.
And don’t even get me started on the experts. Oh, they’re everywhere. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a smartphone and an opinion now thinks they’re an expert on everything from politics to climate change to quantum physics. Newsflash: just because you watched a few YouTube videos doesn’t make you a expert. Trust me, I know from experience. I once tried to explain string theory to my cat using nothing but a laser pointer and some catnip. Did not go well.
But the real kicker is when these so called experts start giving unsolicited advice online. Oh, you’re a doctor? Well, here’s what I think you should do: shut up and treat your patients. Same goes for pilots, chefs, teachers, you name it. Every profession now has millions of unpaid online supervisors ready to tell them how to do their jobs better. It’s like having a bunch of drunk monkeys in the cockpit, all screaming different directions.
And don’t forget about the influencers… they’re the worst. Oh, they’ve got it all figured out. They’re going to ‘speak their truth’ and ‘inspire’ us all with their ‘authentic’ content. But let’s be real, they’re just a bunch of attention seeking narcissists with a camera and a dream. And don’t even get me started on their ‘spontaneous’ videos, the ones where they’re crying in their car about something that happened to them that we’re all supposed to care about. Please. If you’re filming it, it’s not spontaneous. It’s not real. It’s just another piece of content to feed the algorithm.
But you know what really gets me? It’s the ones who overshare. The ones who post every single detail of their lives online, their arguments, their moods, their meals, their entire lives on display for the world to see. It’s like they’re begging for validation, for someone, anyone, to pay attention to them. But here’s the thing, they’re not sharing. They’re performing. And nobody asked for their performance.
The internet promised us a revolution, a democratization of knowledge and ideas. But instead, we got an endless stream of opinions from people who shouldn’t have them. We got a platform for every idiot with a smartphone and a dream of being heard. We got the voice of the people, but not necessarily the best voice, the loudest one.
So here’s my advice, next time you’re about to post something online, next time you’re about to share your unsolicited opinion with the world, ask yourself: does anyone actually care? Do you even know what you’re talking about? Is this going to make the world a better place? Because if not, then maybe just…don’t. Maybe just keep it to yourself.
Because at the end of the day, the internet gave everyone a voice. But it forgot to install a filter. And that’s the real tragedy of our time.

It wouldn't just extinguish competition. It would extinguish freedom of speech.
Let's not forget that Warner Bros. owns CNN. The owner of Paramount Skydance is a zionist&trumpist piece of 💩 that has openly declared his distain for CNN.
It will be similar to what Musk has done to Twitter, censoring what's good and allowing what's evil.
I genuinely hope they win and block this unholy union.

The Double-Edged Sword of Digital Freedom: The Risks of Infinito.Nexus with Native Tor Support
⚠️ Disclaimer
This article was generated entirely by artificial intelligence without editorial review.
To publish this analysis quickly, I deliberately chose to release it without manual editing or fact-checking. The purpose of this article is not to provide a polished technical specification, but to stimulate discussion about the societal, ethical, and security implications of the next generation of Infinito.Nexus with native Tor support.
Some technical assumptions, predictions, or conclusions may therefore be incomplete, inaccurate, or open to debate. They should be understood as informed analysis rather than verified fact.
The scenarios described in this article are intended to illustrate both the opportunities and the risks of increasingly accessible privacy-preserving infrastructure. They do not advocate, encourage, or endorse illegal activity. The same technologies that can strengthen digital sovereignty, protect journalists, human rights organizations, researchers, and political opposition operating under censorship can also be misused by malicious actors.
The goal of this article is to encourage an open discussion about the consequences of making powerful decentralized infrastructure available to a much broader audience. As with encryption, Linux, Git, peer-to-peer networks, and the Internet itself, technological progress creates both new freedoms and new responsibilities.
Please read this article critically, verify important claims independently, and view it as a starting point for discussion rather than a definitive statement on the future of decentralized infrastructure.
Technology is neutral.
Whether it empowers democratic resistance or enables organized crime depends on the people using it.
With native Tor integration, Infinito.Nexus has the potential to fundamentally change how self-hosted infrastructure is deployed. It could become possible for anyone to create a completely private digital ecosystem with only minimal technical knowledge.
That prospect is both exciting — and concerning.
A World Beyond Traditional Surveillance
Today’s Internet relies heavily on centralized infrastructure.
Governments can subpoena cloud providers.
Internet Service Providers can monitor traffic.
Hosting companies know where servers are located.
DNS providers can suspend domains.
Payment providers can freeze accounts.
Social media platforms can remove communities.
Tor changes that equation.
By integrating Tor directly into the infrastructure layer instead of treating it as an optional add-on, organizations could operate entirely within Onion Services.
No public IP addresses.
No public DNS.
No visible server locations.
No conventional attack surface.
Infrastructure that was previously easy to discover suddenly becomes practically invisible to anyone outside the Tor network.
From Old Smartphones to Invisible Infrastructure
Perhaps the most disruptive consequence of native Tor support is that almost anyone could become an anonymous infrastructure operator.
Instead of renting a VPS or purchasing expensive server hardware, users could simply take an old smartphone, install a Linux distribution such as Droidian, deploy Infinito.Nexus, and immediately have a functional server reachable exclusively through Tor.
Modern smartphones already contain everything traditionally required for a small server:
- multicore ARM processors
- flash storage
- Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity
- extremely low power consumption
- integrated batteries acting as an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
Unlike conventional servers, smartphones can continue operating during short power outages without requiring any additional hardware.
Because all communication occurs through Onion Services, the physical location of the device becomes significantly harder to determine than traditionally hosted infrastructure.
A server could operate from:
- an apartment
- an office
- a vehicle
- a backpack
- a cabin
- virtually anywhere with Internet access
Instead of racks in a datacenter, entire organizations could operate from inexpensive commodity hardware.
Infrastructure that once required thousands of dollars could eventually fit inside a jacket pocket.
Organization Beyond Censorship
Perhaps the most transformative consequence of native Tor support is not anonymity itself — it is organization.
Modern democratic movements require far more than encrypted messaging. They need complete digital infrastructure.
Imagine a group deploying the following services exclusively as Onion Services:
- Matrix for encrypted communication
- Nextcloud for document sharing
- OpenProject for task management
- Git for software development
- Wiki systems for documentation
- forums for public discussion
- video conferencing
- identity management with single sign-on
Every service is accessible only through Tor.
There are no public IP addresses.
There are no publicly reachable domains.
There is no central cloud provider that can simply terminate the infrastructure.
For political opposition movements operating under authoritarian governments, this could fundamentally change what is possible.
In countries such as Russia or Iran, governments have repeatedly attempted to restrict independent media, block communication platforms, and pressure hosting providers into taking services offline. A decentralized infrastructure based on Tor Onion Services makes these traditional forms of censorship considerably more difficult.
If one server disappears, another can be brought online using the same deployment automation and cryptographic identities.
Instead of relying on a single datacenter, an organization could distribute its infrastructure across many independently operated devices, including repurposed smartphones running Linux distributions such as Droidian. Every device becomes part of the organization’s digital backbone while remaining reachable only through the Tor network.
This significantly lowers the barrier to building resilient communication networks for journalists, NGOs, researchers, humanitarian organizations, and democratic opposition movements.
Building Invisible Organizations
Imagine an organization deploying:
- Identity Management
- Matrix
- Nextcloud
- Git
- Video Conferencing
- Project Management
- Forums
- Social Networks
- AI Infrastructure
Every service exists exclusively as an Onion Service.
Employees connect only through Tor.
No public domains.
No public IP addresses.
No externally visible services.
From the perspective of the public Internet, the organization barely exists.
A Powerful Tool for Democracy
For many people around the world, this would be an extraordinary step toward digital sovereignty.
Political opposition operating under authoritarian governments often faces:
- Internet censorship
- mass surveillance
- infrastructure seizures
- domain confiscation
- ISP monitoring
- targeted cyber attacks
A hidden smartphone consuming only a few watts of electricity could host secure communications for an activist movement.
Journalists could publish anonymously.
NGOs could coordinate without relying on commercial cloud providers.
Entire communities could communicate through infrastructure that is extremely difficult to discover or disable.
History repeatedly demonstrates that secure communication is one of the foundations of democratic resistance.
The Other Side of the Coin
Unfortunately, technology does not distinguish between good and bad actors.
The exact same infrastructure could also be deployed by:
- organized cybercrime
- ransomware groups
- illegal marketplaces
- extremist organizations
- terrorist networks
- large-scale fraud operations
- illegal trafficking
If deploying anonymous infrastructure becomes as simple as flashing Linux onto an old smartphone and clicking through an installation wizard, the barrier to entry changes dramatically.
What once required experienced Linux administrators could eventually become accessible to almost anyone.
A hidden smartphone server could host:
- a secure school collaboration platform
or
- an anonymous criminal marketplace.
Technically, there may be little difference.
The software cannot distinguish between them.
Risks for Democratic Societies
For democratic societies such as Germany, this presents a difficult challenge.
Security agencies often rely on information obtained from hosting providers, cloud operators, domain registries, DNS providers, or centralized communication platforms during investigations.
Infrastructure that exists exclusively as Tor Onion Services reduces the availability of these traditional investigative paths.
This can make investigations more difficult and more resource-intensive, especially when organizations are technically competent and operate their own infrastructure.
A terrorist cell, extremist group, or organized criminal network could theoretically operate:
- private Matrix servers
- encrypted file storage
- internal forums
- planning boards
- identity systems
- software repositories
- anonymous web services
all without relying on public-facing infrastructure.
That does not mean such groups become impossible to detect.
Tor does not make people invisible.
Law enforcement can still use endpoint forensics, undercover operations, financial investigations, human intelligence, surveillance of physical logistics, and mistakes made by suspects.
But the balance changes.
The stronger privacy technologies become, the harder traditional bulk surveillance and provider-based investigations become.
This is exactly why the same tools that protect dissidents in authoritarian states can also create serious challenges for law enforcement in democratic states.
The Democratization of Anonymous Infrastructure
Historically, operating Onion Services required substantial expertise.
Administrators needed to understand:
- Linux
- networking
- reverse proxies
- DNS
- Tor
- certificates
- firewalls
- application integration
Automation changes everything.
Eventually, the entire deployment process could become:
- Install Droidian on an old smartphone.
- Install Infinito.Nexus.
- Select the desired applications.
- Enable Tor support.
- Click Deploy.
Minutes later, an entire private infrastructure could be online.
No cloud provider.
No VPS.
No static IP.
No public DNS.
Infrastructure that previously required experienced system administrators becomes accessible to ordinary users.
That democratization is both empowering and dangerous.
Open Source Has Always Faced This Dilemma
This is not a new ethical problem.
Encryption protects:
- journalists
- dissidents
- criminals
VPNs protect:
- activists
- ransomware operators
Git is used to build:
- medical software
- malware
Linux powers:
- hospitals
- botnets
Artificial Intelligence can:
- accelerate scientific discovery
- generate phishing campaigns
Technology itself has no morality.
People do.
Infinito.Nexus Is Infrastructure
Infinito.Nexus is not being developed to create hidden criminal networks.
Its purpose is to simplify the deployment of sovereign, self-hosted infrastructure.
Native Tor support simply extends that philosophy.
The software itself does not decide who uses it.
The responsibility remains with those who deploy it.
The Ethical Challenge
Should powerful privacy technologies be withheld because they could be abused?
Or should society accept that technologies capable of protecting freedom will inevitably also be exploited by malicious actors?
There is no perfect answer.
Throughout history, almost every revolutionary communication technology — from the printing press to encrypted messaging — has been used for both constructive and destructive purposes.
Tor is no different.
Neither is Infinito.Nexus.
Technical Design
Native Tor support is currently being designed as a core networking feature of Infinito.Nexus.
Instead of treating Tor as an optional add-on, every deployed application can automatically receive its own Onion Service while remaining fully integrated into the deployment framework.
The current design proposal is publicly available:
Native Tor Support Requirements
https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/infinito-nexus-core/blob/feature/svc-net-tor/docs/requirements/031-svc-net-tor-onion.mdRelated projects:
Infinito.Nexus Core
https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/infinito-nexus-coreHetzner Arch LUKS
https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/hetzner-arch-luksLinux Image Manager
https://github.com/kevinveenbirkenbach/linux-image-managerThese projects together lay the groundwork for a future where deploying fully encrypted, self-hosted, Tor-native infrastructure becomes almost as simple as installing a mobile app.
Conclusion
Native Tor support has the potential to fundamentally reshape how self-hosted infrastructure is deployed.
For the first time, individuals, NGOs, journalists, companies, and political opposition movements could build private digital ecosystems with remarkably little technical expertise.
At the same time, the same technology could lower the barrier for anonymous criminal infrastructure.
A discarded smartphone running Linux could become a resilient, battery-backed server hidden almost anywhere.
That reality is both inspiring and unsettling.
Like encryption, Linux, Git, VPNs, and the Internet itself, Infinito.Nexus is infrastructure.
Infrastructure does not decide how it is used.
People do.
The challenge for society is therefore not whether such technology should exist, but how we choose to live in a world where powerful privacy tools become accessible to everyone.

“The remedy is worse than the disease”*…
Your correspondent is a co-founder and director of Common Sense Media, an organization devoted to understanding the fraught media environment in which we live, to helping children, their families, and educators navigate it, and to advocating for “common sense” protections for kids. When we began, over 20 years ago, the terrain was largely TV, movies, books, and video games. They remain, of course, but the spotlight moved to social media, and now, to AI.
Advocacy, as it turns out, can be a tricky needle to thread. As Francis Bacon (and following him, a stream of others) observe, sometimes “the cure can be worse that the disease.” And that’s especially true when the “disease” one is fighting is the province of a powerful, richly funded cabal who market their moves as cures, even though, through their lens, disease is the desired state.
By way of one (chilling) example, Joe Wilkins outlines one dimension of the current state-of-play…
The White House and Congress are working on a deal to clamp down on what US citizens are allowed to say online. According to new reporting by Axios, the Trump administration is negotiating with key senators in an effort to shoehorn a massive legislation package which would limit states’ abilities to regulate AI in exchange for placing broad federal limits on digital speech.
Plenty of ink has been spilled about the Trump administration’s push to revoke AI regulation from individual states. Though the White House and its allies frame this as a matter of “safety” and “national security,” the timing is telling, coming as progressive state governments move to restrict the building of AI data centers and hold tech companies liable for harms their AI systems cause.
What makes this deal particularly insidious is the trade-off at its core. Per Axios, congressional lawmakers lead by Republican Marsha Blackburn are essentially offering to surrender their ability to regulate AI in exchange for three federal censorship bills: the Kids Online Safety Act, the NO FAKES Act, and a federal age verification mandate.
While the language around these three measures suggests common-sense cyber regulation, activists say they really amount to a massive censorship regime that is fundamentally anti-democratic.
In a blistering statement, the first amendment group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) warns that “taken together, these bills would fundamentally change the internet as we know it.” That’s especially striking because FIRE is funded by conservative private interests like billionaire Charles Koch, meaning its opposition highlights the degree to which Trump is butting heads against fellow members of the US ruling class.
The Kids Online Safety Act (KORA) for example, would force social media giants to restrict lawful speech based on Federal Trade Commission regulations. FIRE complains that this would give the federal government too much power to hold platforms like Meta accountable for their harms — which, many would argue, is long overdue. But given that just a few corporations own the vast majority of web infrastructure and social media, KORA would give the Trump-controlled FTC major power to bend the internet to its will.
To put this power into perspective, just regulating Meta’s Instagram would impact about 71 percent of US citizens who say they regularly use the app.
It’s a powerful weapon, in other words — and like any weapon, it matters a great deal who wields it. Should the White House and Congress push KORA through, it’s likely it would functionally end the possibility of surfing the internet anonymously, while supercharging Trump’s efforts to criminalize left wing opposition groups in the US.
Whether it passes will depend on some shrewd maneuvering on the Trump administration’s part to secure Congressional support. But it all underscores a frustrating reality of AI regulation in the US: Americans overwhelmingly support stricter regulation on AI — but with the current cabal running the Oval Office, there’s no guarantee that the cure won’t be worse than the disease…
Common Sense Media continues to fight– both overt malignancies and the faux remedies that promise to be as bad or worse. So, I would argue, should we all.
Pending federal bills would fundamentally change the internet as we know it: “Trump Moves to Deeply Censor the Entire Internet,” from @joeonhere.bsky.social in @futurism.com.
A resonant reminder of the poisonous program to be resisted: “The Side That Won the Civil War is Now Banning Books About Why the Civil War Was Fought.”
And a look at the politicial economics that may drive it.

As we seek sanity, we might recall that it was on this date in 1788, with the ratification of the ninth state (New Hampshire), that the Constitution of the United States came into effect. It was, of course, briskly amended to include what we call the Bill of Rights— the first 10 of 27 amendments (so far).

Per Axios, congressional lawmakers lead by Republican Marsha Blackburn are essentially offering to surrender their ability to regulate AI in exchange for three federal censorship bills: the Kids Online Safety Act, the NO FAKES Act, and a federal age verification mandate.
While the language around these three measures suggests common-sense cyber regulation, activists say they really amount to a massive censorship regime that is fundamentally anti-democratic.
In a blistering statement, the first amendment group Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE) warns that “taken together, these bills would fundamentally change the internet as we know it.” That’s especially striking because FIRE is funded by conservative private interests like billionaire Charles Koch, meaning its opposition highlights the degree to which Trump is butting heads against fellow members of the US ruling class.
The Kids Online Safety Act (KORA) for example, would force social media giants to restrict lawful speech based on Federal Trade Commission regulations. FIRE complains that this would give the federal government too much power to hold platforms like Meta accountable for their harms — which, many would argue, is long overdue. But given that just a few corporations own the vast majority of web infrastructure and social media, KORA would give the Trump-controlled FTC major power to bend the internet to its will.
To put this power into perspective, just regulating Meta’s Instagram would impact about 71 percent of US citizens who say they regularly use the app.
It’s a powerful weapon, in other words — and like any weapon, it matters a great deal who wields it. Should the White House and Congress push KORA through, it’s likely it would functionally end the possibility of surfing the internet anonymously, while supercharging Trump’s efforts to criminalize left wing opposition groups in the US.
Whether it passes will depend on some shrewd maneuvering on the Trump administration’s part to secure Congressional support. But it all underscores a frustrating reality of AI regulation in the US: Americans overwhelmingly support stricter regulation on AI — but with the current cabal running the Oval Office, there’s no guarantee that the cure won’t be worse than the disease…
Common Sense Media continues to fight– both overt malignancies and the faux remedies that promise to be as bad or worse. So, I would argue, should we all.

As we seek sanity, we might recall that it was on this date in 1788, with the ratification of the ninth state (New Hampshire), that the Constitution of the United States came into effect. It was, of course, briskly amended to include what we call the Bill of Rights— the first 10 of 27 amendments (so far).

“The remedy is worse than the disease”*…
Your correspondent is a co-founder and director of Common Sense Media, an organization devoted to understanding the fraught media environment in which we live, to helping children, their families, and educators navigate it, and to advocating for “common sense” protections for kids. When we began, over 20 years ago, the terrain was largely TV, movies, books, and video games. They remain, of course, but the spotlight moved to social media, and now, to AI.
Advocacy, as it turns out, can be a tricky needle to thread. As Francis Bacon (and following him, a stream of others) observe, sometimes “the cure can be worse that the disease.” And that’s especially true when the “disease” one is fighting is the province of a powerful, richly funded cabal who market their moves as cures, even though, through their lens, disease is the desired state.
By way of one (chilling) example, Joe Wilkins outlines one dimension of the current state-of-play…
The White House and Congress are working on a deal to clamp down on what US citizens are allowed to say online. According to new reporting by Axios, the Trump administration is negotiating with key senators in an effort to shoehorn a massive legislation package which would limit states’ abilities to regulate AI in exchange for placing broad federal limits on digital speech.
Plenty of ink has been spilled about the Trump administration’s push to revoke AI regulation from individual states. Though the White House and its allies frame this as a matter of “safety” and “national security,” the timing is telling, coming as progressive state governments move to restrict the building of AI data centers and hold tech companies liable for harms their AI systems cause.

A quotation from Henry Commager
A nation which, in the name of loyalty or of patriotism or of a sincere and high-sounding idea, discourages criticism and dissent, and puts a premium on acquiescence and conformity, is headed for disaster.
Henry Steele Commager (1902-1998) American historian, writer, activist

@irina @EUCommission Also it's IMO gross violation of freedom of speech, freedom of association.
It is my opinion that the hypocritical mask of the West slipped and the true, contemptible, authoritarian, totalitarian nature of the so called Western alleged democracies is revealed.

The #AP says that if #journalists are invited to cover an event on a pool basis — such as last week when #Trump had meetings in the Oval Office with Saudi Arabia’s crown prince & New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani — it cannot #discriminate on the basis of a news organization’s #FreedomOfSpeech.
“The First Amendment does not stop at the Oval Office door,” said Charles Tobin, the attorney representing the AP.
