Any news provider or website that uses this will never be visited again - THE AUDACITY

this is genuinely absurd, why do I have to pay to reject COOKIES

No email + Anonymous payments = God tier VPN for privacy. Looking at you @mullvadnet 🫡

If a party can put a halt to this horrific pipeline of censorship that’s building, you’d get my vote immediately

Digital rights are still rights

Keir Stamer resigned, but do not let that be a distraction.

The surveillance infrastructure he built is still there.

Politicians come and go.
The infrastructure doesn't.

[Preston Byrne @prestonjbyrne]

Keir Starmer's resignation, assuming it happens, does not alter the UK's course on Internet censorship. That regime was and is supported by both of the major parliamentary parties.

I expect a pause on banning VPNs, but not for long. The core infrastructure is still intact.

What has happened to the internet in the last 5 years? Porn ban, ID checks for games and services, forcing social media platforms to promote state media over private, people being arrested over posts. The list is never ending and getting worse by the day

[Privacy Guru @PrivacyGuru]

Absolute insanity

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

Under plans to further restrict private media firms, news from public service broadcasters would be given priority to fight “disinformation”.

The proposals will set Sir Keir Starmer on a collision course with tech giants already frustrated by his under-16s social media ban ⤵️

This is only going to get worse

Age verification started with porn and social media. Now, governments are passing laws requiring operating systems to collect your age before you can use your computer at all. https://t.co/gq8NNIzDdg

All government workers who create policies on internet usage should have to pass a proper IT exam first. That way we can be sure they actually understand what the hell they’re talking about

[Privacy Guru @PrivacyGuru]

Would you live in a house without curtains? Then why can’t your online life be just as private? Requiring ID checks at the door lets governments and data thieves see right inside

[Privacy Guru @PrivacyGuru]

New UK data law in force from today. Every company now has to handle your privacy complaints properly. If they ignore you, they're breaking the law.

24 billion records.

Usernames. Passwords. Plaintext.

Biggest leak I've ever seen. Check if you're in it, change your passwords, turn on 2FA. Do it today, not tomorrow.

Reminder: they don’t care what we think, they’ll do it regardless.

The UK proceeds with a digital ID despite 2,984,191 people signing a petition against it. https://t.co/sPC5cZfaXX

Reminder: Apple Advanced Data Protection on iOS is disabled in the United Kingdom due to the government wanting a back door into your iCloud to access your data without your permission.

This feature is still enabled in Russia and China…

@EmmanuelMacron This is a roundabout way to compel the average user to verify their identity using official IDs and link a government-issued name to their username. It’s ultimately about control

Using a free VPN? Please don't.
