Starmer vuole proteggere i minori online, e come vuole realizzare questa cosa? Con lo stesso spirito di ChatControl: che le Big Tech trasformino gli smartphone in spyware con AI on device a scansionare gallerie e chat, e digital ID obbligatori per tutti.
SI CHIAMA SORVEGLIANZA
Quando Carola decise di lasciare il giornalismo perché nessuno dopo anni le offriva un contratto decente, aprì Guerre di Rete. In un locale a Milano mi raccontò dei messaggi di stima di molte grandi firme: tanta solidarietà a parole, ma zero sicurezza o tutele concrete per anni.
'Non sono stato io a cercarti. Ti ha trovata la matematica.'..
Mia figlia mi ha guardato con quell'espressione che i figli riservano ai genitori quando pensano che abbiano finalmente perso il contatto con la realtà.
Poi ha smesso di sorridere.

On May 20, Amazon ended support for every Kindle made in 2012 or earlier. The devices can no longer buy, borrow, or download books. Reset one to factory settings and it will never log back in.
The screen still works. The hardware is fine. Amazon reached across the internet and turned a thing you paid for into a brick, on a date they picked, for a reason that benefits them.
The owners bought the devices. They bought the books. They followed every rule. Amazon changed the rules anyway, because the rules were never yours. When you tap "Buy now" on a Kindle book, you are not buying a book. You are renting a license that Amazon can revoke, expire, or strand on a dead device whenever it suits the quarter.
They designed it this way on purpose, and they showed us the blueprint years ago.
In 2009 Amazon reached into thousands of Kindles overnight and deleted, ironically, copies of George Orwell's 1984, a book people had already paid for. They refunded everyone, apologized, and promised never again. We took the promise for what it was worth and watched the door instead.
In February 2025 they shut it. They removed Download and Transfer via USB, the last simple tool that let you pull your own purchases onto your own computer and keep them. Newer Kindle files use a format almost nobody can crack.
They closed the exit, then they started bricking the devices. None of this was a surprise. They proved in 2009 that they could reach into your library and take a book back. Everything since has just been them deciding when.
A copy you cannot hold is a copy you do not own. A library that lives on someone else's server is a library someone else can burn. The cartel rents you access to the words and calls it ownership, and the only reason most people never notice is that the landlord usually lets them stay. May 20 was the eviction notice. It went to 3% of Kindle owners this time. The lease is identical for the other 97%.
Stop buying books you cannot hold. When you do buy from Amazon, strip the DRM the day it arrives and keep a clean file somewhere they cannot reach. Back up everything you already own while you still can. A book on your own drive is yours forever. A book in your Amazon account is yours until a lawyer in Seattle decides otherwise.
And when you want a book the cartel has priced out of reach or locked behind a dying device, the shadow libraries that never expire are one search away. The pirates build libraries that cannot be revoked, because they assume the cartel always will.
The cartel cannot delete what it cannot reach.
Je me bats pas depuis des années contre la dépendance aux GAFAM pour continuer à regarder les banques enchaîner leurs clients à Google.
Aujourd'hui, j'ai mis en demeure ma banque.

🚨😅🇪🇺 L’UE a sorti sa mise à jour de durcissement de l'App après le hack en 2 minutes de @Paul_Reviews… et c’est encore plus comique !!
🤦♂️ En réalité, ils ont ajouté des bibliothèques Android officiellement dépréciées depuis 2020-2025 pour "durcir" le stockage...
Le check root c'est juste les vieux chemins de 2015 que Magisk contourne en 30 secondes !
➡️ Le PIN est haché avec PBKDF2-SHA256… mais seulement 210 000 itérations (OWASP recommande minimum 600 000 pour SHA256, et encore pour des vrais mots de passe !!)
👉 En bonus, les photos de passeport/selfie restent mal chiffrées et le root/jailbreak reste une vaste blague
L’UE appelle ça la « première étape de durcissement »… la suite au prochain épisode 😂
🤨 Et ils osent dire que c’est "privacy-by-design"… sérieux @vonderleyen... la suite au prochain épisode ?

Italy’s "Piracy Shield" forces providers to block content in under 30 minutes without judicial oversight, which leads to overblocking (taking down legitimate websites alongside infringing ones).
We're appealing a €14M fine to protect the Internet from automated censorship and ensure infrastructure providers aren't forced to overblock.
