Highest German court temporarily stops lower court orders requiring Vodafone to monitor #DNS queries for use in criminal cases.
Court notes a targeted surveillance is technically too complicated/costly and is against the right to "telecommunication secrecy".

@mullvadnet just ran a commercial about Chat Control during "Uppesittarkvällen" in front of a huge chunk of Sweden's population.
Spending ad money to warn people about mass surveillance instead of selling VPN subscriptions. This is why I trust you.
Chat Control needs to be stopped. More companies should follow your lead.
Thanks for doing this.

The argument shouldn't be:
"I don't have anything to hide, so you can surveil me,"
Instead, it should be:
"I don't have anything to hide, so you shouldn't surveil me."
1/6📍 #ChatControl: Yesterday, EU lawmakers entered the final stage of negotiations ('trilogues') on the controversial #CSARegulation, aka Chat Control.
📣 EDRi has been advocating for years to make sure that this law tackles the severe crime of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) online without resorting to #MassSurveillance, breaking #encryption or compelling people to undergo intrusive age checks, all of which would have harmful consequences for people and communities.

Counterterrorism Fusion Centers were ostensibly created to fight "terrorism," but were promptly turned against the populace. This reveals a central purpose of the so-called War on Terror: the social control of the people.

If you want to know whether the police is using this new technology in your area, Amnesty has created an interactive map.

Amnesty Interntional went to the National Police Summit this week. When they asked delegates to talk on camera, no one wanted to.
This summit promised “safer communities”.
But it delivered something else: speed-dating with surveillance vendors, complete with a visit from the Home Secretary talking up artificial intelligence as the future of policing.
“Crime predicting” technology creating mass human rights violations.

Let's be clear: What they want is privacy for the monarchs and nobles, and to remove it entirely from the peasants.
Because they want to control the peasants.
They want to control us, entirely.
We never left feudalism, the monarchs and nobles simply changed their titles and fashion, while letting us believe we could become one of them someday.
But we will always remain exploitable and expendable peasants to them.
We cannot wait after them to improve our lives. We must organize to take the power back to the people, where it belongs.
