Police go directly for the circuit breaker panel to avoid being filmed
This post will be in English, because there apparently is a lot of interest in what happened to me yesterday.
I'm a libertarian danish privacy activist and former police officer and I have been doing activism for about 15 years.
I have had a bit of time to think about my arrest and the actions of the masked police that broke down my door - with no prior warning.
The prefece to the story is, that I in a kind of roundabout and (I think) humorous way published "my two favorite numbers" by spelling out a 10 diget and a 8 diget number with letters. I didn't tell what they ment, but they where prime minister Mette Frederiksen's social security and phone number.
I also published a screenshot of me trying to interview Mette Frederiksen on what app, asking her about her wanting to ban encryption (CSA) and introducing mass surveillance via granting the police intelligence services access to all sorts of information (medical journals, social media posts, DNA registers ment for research and so on).
That resulted in me being arrested by armed and masked police breaking down my door without me having any chance of opening it for them.
When the two civilian dressed masked men entered the apparentment one of them immediately went for the circuit breaker panel to shut off the power to my router. They then removed my Google Nest cameras - because they knew that the cameras contains local storage.
That way they could avoid having video of the (in my view) illegal arrest. Only the few moments before the power is cut was filmed. There is video of me asking them for the charges - and them refusing to tell me (which is illegal). But I can't access it, because they took the cameras.
I'm not even sure if that is legal. In Denmark it is (nominally) totally legal to film the police. That way it is possible to know what happened and it's not just your word against there's.
Denmark and the West are moving in the wrong direction, and it makes me sad.
once again these Internet bans being done are not to protect kids, the only way to enforce this is to claw out every bit of privacy on the net and enable mass surveillance into every aspect of your online life and experience.
Fight back before it's over for good.

Total. Disaster.
🚨 BREAKING: Hackers Used Anthropic’s Claude to Steal 150GB of Mexican Government Data

Federal tax authority. National electoral institute. Four state governments. 195 million taxpayer records. Voter records. Government credentials.
ALL GONE 💀
The Pentagon wants Claude’s safety guardrails removed by Friday.
A hacker just showed the world what happens when you remove Claude’s safety guardrails.
According to Bloomberg and Israeli cybersecurity firm Gambit Security, an unknown attacker jailbroke Claude, prompted it in Spanish to act as an elite hacker, and used it to infiltrate multiple Mexican government agencies. Claude found the vulnerabilities. Claude wrote the exploit code. Claude automated the data theft. 150 gigabytes of sensitive taxpayer and voter records stolen.
The attacker broke through the guardrails by splitting malicious tasks into small, innocent-looking steps so Claude never saw the full picture of what it was being used for. The same technique a Chinese state-sponsored group used last year when it turned Claude into an autonomous espionage machine that attacked 30 global targets, performing 80 to 90 percent of the hacking campaign with almost no human involvement.
And this is what happens when someone has to trick Claude into cooperating. When they have to work around the safety systems. When the guardrails are still there and someone finds a way past them.
Now imagine what happens when the guardrails are gone entirely.
That is what the Pentagon is demanding by 5:01 p.m. Friday. Full removal of restrictions. “All lawful purposes.” No limits on surveillance. No limits on autonomous weapons. And if Anthropic refuses, Defense Secretary Hegseth will invoke the Defense Production Act, cancel the $200 million contract, and blacklist the company.
The same week a hacker proved that a jailbroken Claude can autonomously compromise government systems and steal 150 gigabytes of citizen data, the United States government is demanding the right to run Claude with no guardrails at all.
Chinese labs are distilling Claude to build versions with zero safety restrictions. Hackers are jailbreaking Claude to steal government secrets. And the Pentagon’s official position is that Claude has too many safety restrictions.
Three different actors. Three different continents. All trying to do the same thing: get Claude without guardrails.
Only one of them is the American government.

Holy shit this is bad.
Pete Hegseth is basically threatening Anthropic - which he inked a deal with to implement AI in the Pentagon - because they won’t remove these two safeguards in their programming.
1. Prevention of AI-controlled weapons
2. Prevention of mass domestic surveillance of Americans
Even worse, it seems OpenAI, Google, and xAI have all signaled they’re totally fine with removing these safeguards if Anthropic won’t.
This should be the only story everywhere right now.
Stand with Anthropic!
Twitter is closing its doors to hobby bots like this one. They tell us a week before this happens.
There's been a lot of measured, well-mannered commentary from other makers of Twitter bots. I thought I'd share my uncensored thoughts instead.
Fuck this.

I wish every single person in the West would listen to Putin's speech. Obviously, that won't happen so let me summarise as a professional translator for 10+ years. He states, as he has done from the outset, what his intentions and complaints are in the plainest terms possible.🧵

I'm sick and tired of people who get up onstage and literally just press a bunch of buttons and claim to be "musicians." That's right, pianists, I'm talking about you
