From an excellent article by @aral , incredibly dating back to 2014:

"If we want to live in a world where privacy is the default and where we enjoy civil liberties and human rights, we must stop supporting the companies at the heart of corporate surveillance."

This is all still painfully relevant to our time. I highly recommend everyone to read it: https://ar.al/notes/rightscon-or-a-right-con/

💪🏾 It's here! We've put together an answering guide to help you navigate the tricky and misleading questionnaire by the European Comission for the public consultation on #DataRetention.

This proposal can legalise #MassSurveillance and threaten our #privacy and #FundamentalRights - speak up against this agenda!

⚠️ The deadline for the consultation is September 12.

I finally wrote to the Swedish representatives in the EU parliament to urge them to oppose Chat Control. It was really easy, by going to fightchatcontrol.eu/. I took some extra time to write my own text, but if you're in a hurry, you can just use the proposed text as is.

No excuse, go do it now!

I know we're all tired,

And we all wish someone would come to save us (anytime now), and that we could just ignore everything and continue life as usual.

But nobody is coming to save us.
We have to save us.

We have to get together, organize, and take concrete actions to push back against authoritarianism and fascism. We have to fight for human rights, or we will lose them all.

It's exhausting, I know.
But the alternative is so much worse.

Choose one: #Democracy or #MassSurveillance

#ChatControl and similar proposals are fundamentally incompatible with a democratic #EU.

However, they are perfect for actors who want an authoritarian EU with mandatory age restrictions (ID verification) just to participate in democratic discourse.

New[ish] Privacy Guides article 🪪🚫
by me:

Age verification laws have been multiplying in recent years. This is extremely bad news for your privacy rights.

While framed as a measure to
protect the children, collecting more data on every users of the internet endangers everyone, including the children.

This isn't a protective measure,
this is authoritarian policies normalizing mass surveillance and silencing dissidents.

It could very much become
the end of pseudonymity online,
if we do not push back against it.
