If you own glasses that record people without their consent, we can't be friend, and please don't talk to me. #Meta #RayBan #CreepGlasses #Consent #Privacy

Surveillance glasses recording people without their knowledge and consent, and especially if they collect nonconsensual data using AI or facial recognition, need to be banned and illegal to sell everywhere. Tell your local representatives they need to outlaw this harmful technology. Privacy is a human right. We need to defend it. #NoAI #MassSurveillance #BanRayBan #Meta #CreepGlasses #Privacy

Fighting for privacy rights is fighting against fascism. In case there were any doubts that mass surveillance is a fascist's tool. Privacy isn't some secondary luxury, it's fundamental to democracy and civil liberties. #Privacy #Democracy #Fascism

Do not comply. Do not share your ID or biometric data with abusive platforms requesting it. You have a choice to say no, complain, and leave. This is an important act of resistance for the future of humanity. This isn't just about privacy, this is also about safety, diversity, democracy, and human rights. #Privacy #MassSurveillance #HumanRights #Fascism #AgeVerification #IdentityVerification

Age Verification isn't a technical problem to solve. If you think that, you're missing the point. It's a social problem used by authoritarian governments as an excuse for population control and censorship. It's a fundamental attack on free speech and democracy. It must not be accommodated. It must be stopped. #MassSurveillance #AgeVerification #Privacy #Democracy #HumanRights

The control of the computer is getting shifted from you, who bought the computer, to the seller of the computer. This should not happen. You should be angry about this.You should refuse to be controlled. You should resist.

When people are not celebrating the small victories in the long battles for human rights we are fighting, I am terrified. I am terrified of the worse threat of all to our movements: Giving up. I am terrified that when people forget to celebrate their wins, they get so tired and discouraged that they give up the fight entirely. Discouragement leads to apathy. And apathy leads to defeat. Please please, I implore you: Take care of your mood :blobheartcat: Celebrate the small wins 🎉 Give others some time to celebrate, even when victories are only partial :neocat_heart: We need hope to survive and thrive 💚#HumanRights #DigitalRights #Activism #Burnout

AI corporations can't get your money, because most people don't want to pay for that. And they need a lot of money to justify their investment. So they're going after government contracts, with their powerful network of lobbyists. That way, your government can give them your money anyway. To pay for that, they will very likely cut in public services. If you don't want that to happen, email or call your government representatives. #NoAI

Here's the thing about Proton Mail:With Proton Mail, the content of your email is fully end-to-end encrypted and inaccessible to service providers IF (and only if) you are communicating with another Proton Mail account, or you have set up a PGP key exchange otherwise. The metadata of your email, however, isn't end-to-end encrypted. It is accessible in plain text to Proton. This includes:Your payment information The subject line of your emailsYour IP address(es), which can reveal your location The email addresses you have communicated withThe time you have sent and received emailsIf Proton is legally forced to provide this information to law enforcement, they will. They have to. If your threat model makes it that it's dangerous for you when this metadata is shared, you need to use another, more private, method of communication.#ProtonMail #Privacy

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
