Can someone do me a favour and confirm the onionsite for Guardian news is down? Ive been unable to access it for a number of days

Tor is essential sometimes life and death for activists dissidents journalists whistleblowers etc and onion sites protect tor users further by ensuring there is no unencrypted traffic leaving the network that can be analysed by ISPs and govts

@Tutanota I've mentioned this before but SimpleX is more private secure and anonymous that signal threema and session.

SimpleX is decentralised meaning taking down a single group of servers or org wouldnt destroy the simplex network, people can run completely anonymous simplex servers over tor, this puts simplex ahead of Signal and Threema

SimpleX has quantum resistant encryption which puts it ahead of Threema and Session, the UK military[1] and NATO[2] both consider quantum computers to be a threat now because of store now decrypt later attacks

SimpleX has no user identifiers not even random strings, its essentially like having a "burner phone for every contact". Two or more compromised contacts could corroborate your messages by linking them to your signal username or your session id, but with simplex your contacts can't prove your identity even between eachother. This fact puts SimpleX above Signal Threema and Session

These technical details about the simplex protocol can all be found on the project website including the whitepaper[3]

@BryanGreyson I only know a little bit but I think you got it all right, you might also be interested in I2P, an internet traffic anonymisation layer similar to tor but unlike tor everyone who uses i2p is automatically a node making it fully p2p, with tor, entry and exit nodes can be targetted for censorship and surveillance (ie ip blocking entry nodes to deny access to the entire tor netowrk), with i2p its not so easy because everyone is a node

GrapheneOS is leaving France due to government pressure for encryption backdoors 🇫🇷

The move highlights risks to end-to-end encryption and user privacy when authorities demand access to secure data 🔒
Open-source privacy projects may face similar pressures globally 🌐

Age verification is the new trend to de-anonymize the web. 😡

🚨Starting Dec 10, #YouTube #Australia will ask for your age.

The Big Tech already started rolling out an AI-powered age estimation system. Adults are being marked as minors & are forced to submit IDs before regaining full access to decades-old accounts.
