Mullvad is (probably unintentionally) deanonymizing its users in an extremely subtle, borderline backdoorish way.
And the way it's happening is via a threat model almost nobody who has considered Mullvad safe has ever even considered.
This should be big news.
A new VPN leak that allows any app to leak traffic outside the VPN tunnel has recently been discovered by @cybaqkebm

I may have been a bit too optimistic with my prediction that the EU would ban or regulate VPNs within five years. It looks like they’ll do it within a year.
It terrifies me how many relatively sane people who believe in the EU justify this totalitarian, dystopian practice and explain its necessity.
Something that was considered a totalitarian practice in China or Russia 10 years ago is now seen as a political necessity in the EU as part of the fight against hybrid threats, Russia, child pornography, etc.
Hello!
Based on what it plans and does, the EU is actually showing signs of a dystopian society!
I am currently in developed Japan, and there are no state-enforced cash limits here, no Age Control, no MiCA, DAC-8, or other dystopian EU regulations. Online anonymity is the norm here.
EU calls VPNs “a loophole that needs closing” in age verification push

Understand thee are only two ways they can prevent you from using a VPN:
* Egress and/or ingress port blocking (which is typically unsuccessful, as there are always ways around it)
* Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) at the border of every in/egress point in the state.
Both require, essentially, establishing a Great Firewall around the physical network connectivity of the state -- every copper line, every fiberoptic line, every cell tower, every microwave downlink.
This can be achieved either by inserting additional physical equipment, or by obtaining the cooperation of every ISP and telco doing business in the state.
DPI requires inspecting the contents of every single packet transiting the network, identifying the protocols in use, and blocking the traffic based on the contents of the traffic.
Either way, it is absolutely not something you want, and sets an extremely bad precedent.

This isn't an age verification bill.
This is device level KYC.
Every operating system would need proof of age which means gov ID + photo for every device connected to the internet.
The lazy default implementation? Gov ID + selfie to Persona. The same KYC Discord and Anthropic just rolled out (yep, we're already moving to KYC for AI).
This makes one giant honeypot for hackers and is a bow-wrapped gift to the corporate surveillance machine (and U.S gov surveillance who harvest data from them).
There's no technical reason to build it this way. We already have zero-knowledge age verification that works at scale, @zkpassport lets you prove you're over 18 without revealing who you are. Data never leaves the device. The tech exists.
But that's not the worst part.
If every device is gated by gov ID, then revoking the ID revokes digital existence.
Revoke passport = digital excommunication.
Actually insane we have legislators considering this.
Go to iOS Settings → Notifications → [App Name] → Show Previews and set it to Never.
You can also do this globally under Settings → Notifications → Show Previews → Never
"The FBI was able to forensically extract copies of incoming Signal messages from a defendant’s iPhone, even after the app was deleted, because copies of the content were saved in the device’s push notification database"
Oops
US lawmakers are pressing Tulsi Gabbard to reveal whether using a VPN that connects to overseas servers can strip Americans of their constitutional protections against warrantless surveillance. https://t.co/6ViDktiiV1
Disappointed to see the court dismiss my suit today. A non-binding DoJ memo is no substitute for real legal certainty.
My lawyers are exploring all options for a path forward. Huge thanks to the @coincenter team for their incredible support and expertise through this.
We need Congress to pass the BRCA to end this threat once and for all.

Today I had the opportunity to present Ethereum's post-quantum security strategy at the Institutional Ethereum Forum in NYC.
15 minutes to explain why every proof-of-stake blockchain faces the same signature aggregation problem — and what the EF is doing about it.
We also launched https://t.co/Wz0gMP1v9A — a dedicated resource that brings together everything the PQ/Crypto teams have been working on:
→ How PQ impacts each protocol layer
→ The full PQ roadmap
→ Open resources — repos, specs, papers
→ FAQ — 14 questions we keep getting from institutions, now open-sourced
→ Interest form for the 2nd Annual PQ Research Retreat (Cambridge, Oct 2026)
Huge thanks to @drakefjustin@tcoratger@asanso and the entire PQ team, the @leanEthereum client teams shipping devnets every week.
Next week: Fort Mode in Cannes.
