In this case, when apple made people dox themselves to be able to use their apple devices in the UK, it was corporations and governments working together to fuck all of us

and remember! It’s not about protecting kids, it never was and it isn’t now.

Did you know the age verificatiion that apple did within the UK wasn’t mandatory for them? They chose to go out of their way to kiss ass.

the online safety act would be undone within 1 day if apple sent a message to every UK-dwelling apple device warning them that their apple devices won’t work within a week if they don’t petition their government to undo that bullshit totalitarian surveillance and censorship bullshit

by the way…apple can just decide to make your apple products not work anymore. They can also remove any app from your apple products they don’t want you to have. 1 update is all it takes.

This is why AI shouldn’t be making any management decisions

that tech at IBM all those years ago had it right the whole time

it’s better to find common ground with your peers and then to work with them to make life better for everyone.

If Ted Cruz is in favor of free speech, so you can work with him on free speech issues to help everyone of all colors and creeds

And he really is in favor of free speech. He’s never tried to shut down any of his critics. People send him all kinds of nasty things on twitter and he doesn’t even block any of them.

Section 230 is an absolutely vital regulation that allows the internet to be free, getting rid of it would be horrible

If he’s working with Ron Widen it means Ted Cruz has the correct position on free speech.

Do you have any idea how many people on the internet make fun of Ted Cruz? Have you ever heard him say those people should be banned or censored?

Ron Widen is cool, he was in favor of title 2 net neutrality, he’s against NSA spying and from what I understand he realizes that age verification is a cybersecurity risk to everyone

because AI as it is now is designed for mass data collection

Well the good news is that using AI is way more expensive than hiring real people. So maybe after the AI bubble pops for that reason we might see social media doing an about-face with this

Weak, half-measure. You should be fighting against that for everyone regardless of which OS they use

if you use a credit card to pay for mullvad or buy a voucher from the Canadian amazon store, there would be financial records of that. Peaceful protestors in canada have already been de-banked yes, the trucker’s protestors. The media is evil and they lie constantly…don’t trust them.

So maybe the banks in canada would be set to block any transactions to buy VPN subscriptions or to buy anything even related to subverting control. There’s already been talk about banning bitcoin and other cryptocurrency like Monaro. They claim it’s to protect the environment, but really it’s because cryptocurrency is impossible for one single person to control.

but then there’s VPN providers like Nym which are run entirely by volunteers. Totally de-centralized networks for VPN providers might be the future. People from Proton have already talked about doing that if they couldn’t run it they way they currently do.

I wonder if proton and mullvad will do the same maybe even Nym will stop operating there

No one can break the encryption, so even though it routes through AWS sometimes it’s still completely E2EE with quantum resistant encryption that not even the feds could break

the only way it can be “hacked” is with phishing

“hiding inside” of it? No no, the whole point is surveillance with full KYC. With the end goal being digital ID and CBDC and social credit scores. What the authorities consider to be correct behavior will earn points and if you so much as breathe a syllable of a question about why they’re making you do something you’ll lose points and you’ll be locked out of things that didn’t require an ID to get into before, possibly even access to a grocery store or any other place or service you could get food from

But if you use a VPN regularly, like always, suddenly seeing a different type of traffic would look weird

VPNs are commonly used by all kinds of people for mundane things. any kind of darknet kind of stuff is often associated with illegal activity and will be seen as suspicious by your internet provider

again, it can’t just be any VPN, Proton, Mullvad, Nym…and maybe iVPN if you don’t care about the number of locations you can connect through.

you also want to have a few other things open. Anything that makes additional noise in the connection. Even if you use Mullvad’s Daita feature, it’s good to have some extra noise being made while darknet-stuff is being used

oh…I skipped over the primary purpose. If they give you the third degree about using a VPN just say that you use it to keep yourself safe from crazy people online. You can’t play that plausible deniability card with things like snowflake and Tor, but you can with a VPN that’s available to average consumers

it would prevent your internet provider from seeing the activity of other people connecting through your PC

never do it without a VPN, a good one that has a long, proven track record of recording nothing

you can use those websites to find out who needs to be contacted.

I really hope motorolla just does a regular unaltered Graphene OS and not some skinned version of it
