Die freiwillige Chatkontrolle wurde soeben im EU-Parlament beschlossen.

Sie haben ihr Ziel erreicht.
Der Verfahrenstrick ist aufgegangen.

Es ist einfach unfassbar. Und sie nennen sich tatsächlich Demokraten..

@benjamincowen Well deserved, congratulations!👏

Es läuft auf ein #vpn Verbot hinaus. Zuerst lachen wir vielleicht noch darüber und viel IT affine Nutzer können das noch umgehen. Doch die Luft wird jedes Jahr dünner werden und schlussendlich haben sie alle, bis auf ein paar wenige Cracks, welche dann nicht mehr relevant sind. Wann schalten unsere @ParlCH endlich einmal das Gehirn ein? Wann berichten unsere super Medien @tagesanzeiger @NZZ @20min @Blickch und unser tolles @SRF @brenntr über diese Dinge die auch in der CH kommen werden.

@engineers_feed No idea, I just see the result🤔

Destroying the @InternetArchive's @WayBackMachine would be the equivalent of the burning of the Library of Alexandria - one of the worst losses of knowledge in history.

Media giants are now threatening to do this.

We can't let this happen.

Pass it on.

❝Switzerland ordered some Tomahawks years ago. Now the US said they can't deliver them.

So Switzerland said then we won't pay.

The US have now seized the funds we paid for the F-35s (which we probably won't get as well) instead.❞

"Trust in the USA is suffering"
The development has been poorly received in parliament. "It's infuriating when we halt payments and then the money is simply diverted,"

I’ve never seen anything like the Epstein files in my life

-Raped
-Cannibalized
-Trafficked
-Filmed
-Terrorized
-Tortured
-Murdered
-13, 14, 15 year children

ZERO arrests

I don't understand how we're not having a global revolution right now.

@khnh80044 I wish so much that this message of peace and hope may blossom in the hearts of all people❤️

@smart_money So ein Unsinn. Es ist technisch überhaupt kein Problem mehr, den Empfänger z.B. für Lohnzahlungen zu verschleiern. Sei es durch Bekanntgabe eines Xpubs oder etwa durch sogenannte silent payments. So lässt sich der Zahlungsfluss nicht mehr ohne weiteres rekonstruieren.

THIS is the US.

Americans maybe you should get your act together and have this man removed.

It is shameful.

Since this US administration’s agenda of insulting Europe has now reached the topic of food, with the US Secretary of the Treasury claiming he would “rather eat bugs” than Swiss food, I decided to revisit and expand my list of US food so unsafe most of Europe had to ban it.🧵

@FurkanCCTV Was ähnliches haben wir in der Schweiz schon lange: Nennt sich Vermögenssteuer. Ist ein Riesen Bullshit, zumal Kapital hierdurch wieder und wieder und wieder versteuert werden muss…

@Schmidtlepp @DieTechniker Und was war Februar, März und Juni 2025?

[Mullvad.net @mullvadnet]

The war on privacy and encryption goes on. This time in the UK. Under the “Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill”, lawmakers now want client-side scanning on every phone and tablet.

The lawmakers write: “Any relevant device supplied for use in the UK must have installed tamper-proof system software which is highly effective at preventing the recording, transmitting (by any means, including livestreaming) and viewing of CSAM using that device.”

Once again, they use “what about the children”, this time to install state spyware that would continuously scan every action on a phone or tablet and watch everything that is shown on the screen. This will effectively ban end-to-end encrypted communication and open source operating systems like GrapheneOS and forbid that people have administrator rights on their own devices.

The bill also seeks “Action to prohibit the provision of VPN services to children in the United Kingdom” and wants “all regulated user-to-user services to use highly-effective age assurance measures to prevent children under the age of 16 from becoming or being users.” In practice, this means identity checks for VPN users, making things like anonymous whistleblowing difficult.

The attack on secure and private communication is worldwide. Now is the time for resistance. Demand transparency from your politicians, and privacy for the people.

I sometimes really miss the 90s. There was such a great spirit of optimism, lots of new technologies were emerging, society was still reasonably free, and unlike today, many people were still able to look at life with optimism. But maybe I'm just getting old and indulging in a bit of nostalgia over the holidays...

@ctoLarsson @Spotify @TIDAL Since you seem to be interested in high quality audio and are using Apple devices, you might find this Youtube Video interesting (no, it's not my channel ;-)):

@atrupar That's so far beyond ridiculous that a new word should be invented for it!
