Please keep in mind:
Surveillance capitalism is surveillance.

It's not mild surveillance,
it's mass surveillance.

Though age verification mandates claim to protect children, in practice they create harmful censorship and surveillance regimes that put everyone—adults and young people alike—at risk. Learn how to fight back at our new Age Verification Resource Center: https://www.EFF.org/Age.

Big news for the #Fediverse! End-to-end encryption is coming to #ActivityPub.

@swf with support from @sovtechfund is coordinating two interoperable implementations.

Bonfire is proud to be one of these first two projects, alongside #Emissary by @benpate

We think #E2EE should simply be the default for any private communications, and we’re especially thrilled to bring private, trusted collaboration to the fediverse.

Getting rid of AI in Firefox

1. Open about:config
2. Search for "browser.ml.enable"
3. Toggle to False
4. Search for "extensions.ml.enabled"
5. Toggle to False

If you're using a non-beta Firefox in Android, you won't have access to about:config. You can fix that by switching to the Fennec fork, available from F-Droid.

India's government reportedly is reviewing a telecom industry proposal to force smartphone firms to enable satellite location tracking that is always activated for better surveillance. EFF’s Cooper Quintin calls it “pretty horrifying.”

Telegram isn’t a privacy app.
Default chats aren’t end-to-end encrypted, messages sit on Telegram’s servers, and “Secret Chats” aren’t default.

Great for groups — not for private conversations.

Experimenting with mixing my chaotic doodle style over polished biomech art. Kinda loving the raw, messy energy of it.

The Tree of Life is a symbolic blueprint of consciousness — ten nodes, twenty-two paths — a kind of ancient ‘architecture of being’ long before we talked about systems or networks.

Public servants are meant to be transparent. Private citizens are meant to be… private. Flip that, and you don’t have a democracy anymore — you have surveillance.

@Instagram suspended my account because I used this 90’s Tool photo as my profile pic.
Apparently Meta’s AI decided I was impersonating the band instead of… y’know… just vibing.

Adam’s pupils were too powerful for the algorithm, I guess.
Maynard laughing in the background = immediate identity threat.

Anyway, shoutout to Mastodon for not demanding my government ID because I posted a goofy band pic.
Corporate platforms stay losing.
