Today, Telegram notified all its users in Spain with this alert:
Pedro SĂĄnchezâs government is pushing dangerous new regulations that threaten your internet freedoms. Announced just yesterday, these measures could turn Spain into a surveillance state under the guise of âprotection.â Hereâs why theyâre a red flag for free speech and privacy:
1. Ban on social media for under-16s with mandatory age verification: This isnât just about kidsâit requires platforms to use strict checks, like needing IDs or biometrics.
â ď¸ Danger: It sets a precedent for tracking EVERY userâs identity, eroding anonymity and opening doors to mass data collection. What starts with minors could expand to all, stifling open discourse.
2. Personal and criminal liability for platform executives: If âillegal, hateful, or harmfulâ content isnât removed fast enough, bosses face jail.
â ď¸ Danger: This will force over-censorshipâplatforms will delete anything remotely controversial to avoid risks, silencing political dissent, journalism, and everyday opinions. Your voice could be next if it challenges the status quo.
3. Criminalizing algorithm amplification: Amplifying âharmfulâ content via algorithms becomes a crime.
â ď¸ Danger: Governments will dictate what you see, burying opposing views and creating echo chambers controlled by the state. Free exploration of ideas? Goneâreplaced by curated propaganda.
4. âHate and polarization footprintâ tracking: Platforms must monitor and report how they âfuel division.â
â ď¸ Danger: Vague definitions of âhateâ could label criticism of the government as divisive, leading to shutdowns or fines. This can be a tool for suppressing opposition.
These arenât safeguards; theyâre steps toward total control. Weâve seen this playbook beforeâgovernments weaponizing âsafetyâ to censor critics. On Telegram, we prioritize your privacy and freedom: strong encryption, no backdoors, and resistance to overreach.
â Stay vigilant, Spain. Demand transparency and fight for your rights. Share this widelyâbefore itâs too late.
Mitenkään vähättelemättä Minneapolisin tapahtumia, on uutisointi siitä, verrattuna Iraniin, epätasapainossa. Iranin tapahtumat ja sen vaikutukset ovat meille paljon merkittävämpiä kuin se mitä Minneapolisissa tapahtuu. Ei ole sattumaa, ettei Iranista uutisoida siinä mittakaavassa mitä Gazasta on uutisoitu viimeisen kahden vuoden aikana. Paha Iran saisi Israelin näyttäytymään kunnollisena ja sitä kuvaa eivät jihadistit, islamistit ja heidän tukijansa halua.
Iranin ongelmien esiin tuominen ja regiimin todennäkÜinen kaatuminen ei ole Iranin ystävien edun mukaista. Ongelmat on parempi lakaista maton alle.
Tässä kohtaa tosin, on enää ajan kysymys milloin Iranin islamilainen hallinto kaatuu. Takaisin ei enää ole. Tapettuja on niin paljon, että ruumiit ehtivät mädäntyä ennen kuin ne ehditään haudata.

@mariomenjr Just send Claude Code at it. It knows those things well. âOrient to the system, activate Omarchy skill. Check my bootlog and make a plan to fix errors.â
I am hearing from a friend in Iran that the number is approximately 52,000 people murdered. The world has been protesting against Israel for years. Why donât people care about the Iranian people?
Prediction: When Iranians overthrow their brain-rotted religious dictator, become a liberal democracy, and rejoin the global economy, theyâll become one of the biggest economic powers in the world. Iranians are some of the smartest, hardest-working, and most entrepreneurial people Iâve ever met.
Not a single word from @UN_Women on the situation in Iran.
Nothing.
The UN body for women's rights hasn't got anything to say.
A weird, fake organisation.
#Monerium app is really great for daily crypto use. One SEPA transfer and my EUR is sitting in my Linea account as EURe ready to be used for example with my #MetamaskCard. This is how this should work, beatiful!
@0xCha0s "Not just in sunshine moments, When laughter fills the air, But in the quiet struggles, That's when I'll always be there.When doubt whispers its poison, And fear clouds what you see, My loyalty stands unshakenâ You can always count on me"
@joni_askola Joni seems to be for a long been blinded by his hate of Musk. I have tried to find rationale for it from his posts but havent found it. It is a shame. World is not that black and white is he sees it.
