#Proton "Erteilt keine Auskunft zu Überwachungspflichten für Proton Mail, Proton #VPN und Proton Drive" (Blog Steiger)
Medienanwalt Steiger ordnet rechtlich ein (Artikel 3/25) - Meine Folgerung daraus: Marketing-Aussagen noch kritischer prüfen
Wie lange schon "droht" Proton mit dem Wegzug aus der Schweiz, da hier Privacy-Prinzipien schwierig nur durchzusetzen seien? Wo ist die AG heute beheimatet? Ja, genau...

Dear politicians,
Our wish for #2026: Stop using 'child safety' as an excuse for mass censorship and surveillance.
No one believes you.
And using children is just... sickening.
💯
Berating users for "using #VPN" and wanting to "ban" or control it ("for the children"), the latest genius idea that seems to be brewing in several places now (UK, Denmark), is as egregiously ill-conceived as it is sickening.
This feels almost like an announcement to ban or control breathing.
ORG warned the UK Parliament that VPNs must not face the chop.
Banning or age-gating VPNs will shatter security and free expression in a self-defeating attempt to make the unworkable workable by playing into the hands predators online.

# FACT warns illegal streamers following joint investigation with police
The UK's Federation Against Copyright Theft (infringement, but anyway...) has obtained a list of people who have allegedly purchased streaming devices preconfigured to access infringing streaming services, and has emailed them.
> During investigations into Edge and operators of another illegal streaming service (currently pending a criminal prosecution), law enforcement seized details of customers who had purchased access to so-called “loaded” Firesticks, Android, or Kodi devices. Those customers have now been contacted directly to warn them of the dangers of continuing to use illegal streaming services.

Mullvad waarschuwt voor een "Chatcontrol 3.0" plan dat de Europese Commissie volgend jaar zou willen introduceren, waarbij sommige landen willen dat vpn-aanbieders en andere internetbedrijven worden verplicht om bij te houden wie en wanneer gebruikmaken van hun diensten.
"Dit gaat niet meer over het beschermen van kinderen of het bestrijden van terrorisme, het gaat over het normaliseren van massasurveillance, dmv een juridische slijtageslag.'

Mullvad is removing OpenVPN in desktop app v2025.14, shifting all users to WireGuard for security, performance, and newer anti-censorship tools. 🔄
Some OpenVPN setups may break, and routers/external apps will lose support by Jan 2026. ⚠️

#SoundCloud confirms breach after member data stolen, #VPN access disrupted
As of today: No social media for Australians under 16.
Also as of today: Every Australian under 16 installs a dodgy gratis #VPN that spies on them and sells their digital lives to #adtech sharks.

#SoundCloud confirms breach after member data stolen, #VPN access disrupted
Here's a totally off-the-cuff pitch for the #p2p web: I just want to be able to load a webpage from a #bittorrent swarm by leeching, and then click an "I approve" button if it looks non-sketchy and I want to seed the page. I want to bookmark magnet links to make human-readable URLs and allow collisions between actual names/content to be decided socially (e.g. click to accept a new version of this page from this new swarm). I don't want a bunch of new protocols. No #crypto for domain names or donations. No vibe-coded corporate-sponsored AI BS. No #GitHub repos. Just give me the wild west with everything visible and no default seeding so that bad actors don't bother with it so much. Run it through a #VPN or something if you want privacy.
The Danish government is using the upcoming Christmas break to slip through a public consultation for a draft law that would make it an OFFENCE to use a #VPN to access content that would otherwise not be available in Denmark, or to circumvent the blocking of "illegal" websites. https://hoeringsportalen.dk/Hearing/Details/70858
This is done under the guise of ensuring a technologically neutral implementation of Directive 98/84 on pay-TV decoders (hint: the IP address is NOT a conditional access device).
RE: https://eupolicy.social/@je5perl/115696467286859905
Some good news from Denmark! The government has withdrawn the #VPN proposal after just five days, claiming that the proposal was misunderstood and that banning VPN use was never the intention. In that case, the drafting was exceptionally bad, and withdrawing the proposal is clearly the right thing to do.
