SONY is sending out emails updating and reminding people of their PlayStation terms. short version what it says:
- You don't own your digital games, you rent a license
- If a account closed or banned your games are gone, even paid ones
- PlayStation can record your chats, clips, ip address
- Clips you share, they can sell and put ads on and you get no cut
- their liability is capped at ยฃ100! This means if Sony screws something up and it costs you money, the most they'll pay you back is ยฃ100, no matter how much you actually lost
Bypassing the latest #EU#ageVerification app (2026.07-1) with a Chrome extension... again.
Despite 3 months of security hardening and genuine improvements across the board, the fundamental issue cannot be solved.
Anonymous age verification doesn't work.
Download the offline installer of any of your games on GOG, save it to a disc and it's yours forever.
You don't need a storefront's permission to play what you bought.
Hey @startpage! I love your search engine but without fail I hit a wall with the News tab when I try to search something I need more info of than an angry tweet about the topic.
I always have to fall back to google for that๐
Yesterday was a sad day for the privacy of citizens in the European Union given the extension of #ChatControl 1.0, allowing for voluntary scanning of private communications.
In light of yesterday's vote, we wanted to remind you that:
Chat Control 1.0 is different from Chat Control 2.0 in that providers (like us at Tuta) are not forced to backdoor their end-to-end encryption for surveillance.
At Tuta, if Chat Control 2.0 is passed we have two options: to move out of the EU or sue and fight it. As our CEO, Matthias Pfau has stated, we would sue and fight for people's privacy. Because for us, undermining end-to-end encryption is not an option.
We will continue to say no to #ChatControl and fight for everyone's right to privacy. โ๐ปโค๏ธ๐

๐จ #ChatControl 1.0 HAS PASSED - despite a majority voting against it (314:276) ๐จ
After the EU parliament has rejected #ChatControl TWICE in the past, it has been pushed as an urgent procedure for a new plenary vote. TODAY the EU parliament has voted YES for #ChatControl 1.0๐ก
The EU has simply continued to put the vote on the agenda to get the outcome they've wanted since the start. This is not democraticโผ๏ธ
What does #ChatControl 1.0 mean for us now?
๐ฉ Every photo, every message, every file you send will be scanned by Big Tech automatically
๐ฉ Mass surveillance of 450 million EU citizen without warrants
๐ฉ Every citizen is put under general suspicion
Here's what you can do to stay private on the internet:
โ Use end-to-end encrypted messengers & email (like Signal or Tuta Mail)
โ Use Linux instead of Windows & Apple
โ Switch to GraphenOS or LineageOS
It's a sad day for the privacy of EU citizens but we will not let this stop us from continuing to fight for what is right.
At Tuta, we will continue to provide end-to-end encrypted email to everyone, and we will continue to fight for everyone's right to communicate without surveillance.

CHAT CONTROL IS COMING
Even though most Members of the European Parliament have voted to REJECT Chat Control, we have not been able to reach the absolute majority that was needed (361 Members).
This is a sad day for Europeans.
We heard you. And we agree.
