       The vigilance should never stop. With #earnit, #onlineharms, #chatcontrol the legislatures seek to break encryption and read your DMs. https://chaos.social/@onepict/103651892192364802Back in August 1996 @ietf  thought incredibly carefully about cryptography and the internet.  https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1984  Even back then governments were trying to interfere with the internet with weak cryptography.  I love the RFC number.   Read each point. It's still very relevant all these years later.  #RFC1984

       I never thought we'd be in a time where "seize the means of computation" may be a radical concept.We need to share the means of communication.The billionaires are hoarding it.How we share our resources and communicate is what makes us human.

       When I was a teen and starting at university, I remember the browser wars seemed lost in the 1990s.Microsoft and Internet Explorer seemed to dominate. Nowadays I'm on Linux and there are other options.  That's thanks to folks not accepting the status quo and being unreasonable.  It's thanks to the folks who built the software we use and who supported them.Things can change, but it takes people and community.It takes will and intention.You need to be honest about where you stand.

       So for the back of the room:Defederation is a freedom of association in safety thing.Moderation is also a freedom of association in safety thing.Not a freedom of speech thing.  Both Human Rights do need to be considered together.They are articles nineteen and twenty on the #UDHRhttps://www.ohchr.org/en/universal-declaration-of-human-rightsI wish more of us in Tech designed our systems with this in mind.#federation #decentralization #fediverse

       I distrust the kind of discourse when folks are being asked to be "reasonable".The DARVO on that discussion raises my hackles.In my bubble there's a lot of folks who are vulnerable.  Reasonable is the call for the status quo. So no I won't be reasonable.  This network exists because of coders who weren't reasonable, folks shaped this network and pushed hard for moderation and safety.  They weren't reasonable.I look at the world at the moment and I don't want to be "reasonable"

       "It may seem odd to fear that information being on the web.  We post on the Internet and put flags on our handles.  People will see that.   Data leaks.  But just because I post information on the internet, doesn't mean I consent to my handle and posts being used to train an AI dataset.  Or that information scraped.  Our data economy isn't based on consent, it is based on how valuable that information is to others.  We're objectified. "Stay unreasonable.https://chaos.social/@onepict/113187460003862058

       "We didn't realise that rather than a market garden, we have wandered into a different bounded realm. We were asked to pay a price. We gave our real names to Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, and Google. We made the mistake that our ancestors knew not to do. You never give your real name to the Fae, for Knowing of a true name gives them power over you."It's not unreasonable to push back on tech bros and AI boosters.https://www.onepict.com/digitalpoppet.html

       @EUCommission Okay I'll bite, in the UK (Scotland) even in my mid thirties I fell foul of the challenge 25 laws. So I carried the easier to replace ID which I had to carry when driving.  My driving license.I'd often get challenged.  Which meant I had to show my ID with my home address to a total stranger.  When the check out guy was a man it felt unsafeAs someone who's been stalked, it's not safe showing that information to a complete stranger.  Let alone an untrustworthy org like Europol.
