The age-assurance industry shouldn't exist. Stop age verification now, and tell your governments and service providers they cannot trust these predatory corporations. #AgeVerification #Privacy #MassSurveillance

The goal isn't to protect children, the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer. Some politicians have already stated this plainly. This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government. This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people. This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly. This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications. This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few. Do not let them do this to us. #MassSurveillance #AgeVerification #Authoritarianism #HumanRights

If a human right is in the way of your "innovative" technology, the expected solution should be to modify your technology to respect this human right, not to reduce the protections to this human right. Technology and innovation must be in service of humanity, not the other way around. #HumanRights #DigitalRights #Privacy #AI

When you read about Bans of Social Media for Teens and Age Verification, you must remember what it truly means:• Official identification of every adult using social media. • Deanonymization of every account, endangering groups that often rely on pseudonymity for safety, such as victims of domestic violence, victims of stalkers, people of color, and LGBTQ+ people. • Putting every adult at great danger of exploitation, fraud, and identity theft by forcing them to share their official ID with a for-profit third-party company with no incentive to protect it. Breaches have already happened. • Constructing a system of mass surveillance to attach every comment on social media to a legal identity. Effectively allowing authoritarian governments to silence their critics and opposition. • Potential for dystopian censorship and cutting off means of organization for groups of resistance to oppressive regime and organizations. • Endangering children online by putting a clear identification beacon over every child or family with children online. • Endangering the data of children who will inevitably try to pass as adults, and have their information collected by the third-party for-profit company. • Diminishing the value of official identification due to the inevitable data breaches, eventually pushing the system to require even more intrusive identification techniques, such as iris scans and fingerprints. • Installing a system of mass surveillance capable of attaching even more information to everyone's legal identity. With a potential to built list of people in certain groups, and scale-up state censorship and discrimination in unprecedented ways.• The list goes on and on. This isn't about protecting the children. It never was. Do not be duped by this excuse used to convince you to let go of your human rights. They are only trying to manipulate people lacking information. Stay informed on the issues related to Age Verification, and push back for your rights to privacy and democracy. The future depends on us. #AgeVerification #Privacy #HumanRights #MassSurveillance #Authoritarianism

It's heartbreaking to see that there's a growing number of people who no longer feel safe in their own home or country. Unfortunately, for people in precarious situations, digital footprints of all kind can be enough to threaten safety.Whether you know someone who is a victim of domestic violence, a queer person living in a hostile environment, or a human rights activist located in regions adverse to their cause, Tails might be able to help.Here's a beginner-friendly guide on how to install Tails, for yourself or for others.https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/01/29/installing-and-using-tails/#Privacy #Tails #Tor #TransSafety #DomesticViolence #LGBTQ #Democracy #HumanRights #Censorship

I need to write again. I have so many ideas. But there are so many steps for me to complete before I can write again. It would be much faster for me to write again if someone just hired me so that I could write for them. Just saying. #GetFediHired

Anyone asserting encryption is a tool for crime is either painfully misinformed or is attempting to manipulate legislators to gain oppressive power over the people.Encryption is not a crime, encryption is a shield.Encryption protects you from cyberattack, identity theft, discrimination, doxxing, stalking, sexual violence, physical harm, and much more.For safety, for privacy, for democracy, and for all our human rights, it's critical that we defend our right to encryption.https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/04/11/encryption-is-not-a-crime/#Privacy #Encryption #DigitalRights #HumanRights #Democracy #RootForE2EE

Just so you know, using an AI notetaker during a meeting without priorly asking for consent from all participants before starting it breaches many if not most privacy laws around the world. In certain cases, it can even breach two-party consent laws, and be a criminal act. Ideally, never use these privacy-invasive tools ever. But if you do use them, you must ask for everyone's consent first, and respect their choice fully if they refuse to be recorded. #Privacy #AInotetakers #NoAI

Today, 37 years ago, was the Tiananmen Square massacre in Beijing. Remember these events. Remember these people who fought for freedom and democracy. This is important 💛☂️"On the 30th anniversary of the protests in 2019, the well-known Chinese artist Ai Weiwei wrote that 'autocratic and totalitarian regimes fear facts because they have built their power on unjust foundations' and he also wrote that memory is important: 'without it there is no such thing as a civilised society or nation' because 'our past is all we have.'"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1989_Tiananmen_Square_protests_and_massacre#TiananmenSquare #Democracy #JuneFourth

I'm so done with Apple. We could have had nice things. But no. Instead we get dystopia. I shouldn't be terrified of every software update pushed on the devices I bought. #Apple #NoAI #Privacy
