People keep saying yo me: “No, but you have to agree that xyz.” And I gotta cool as a fucking cucumber repeat “Well, like I just said, I kinda don’t, actually.”

From the Rafah border crossing, Lewis Hamilton is pulling no punches on Israel's cruel siege regime.

So here we have this older video of NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg openly admitting that Western countries had been training and preparing the Ukrainian army since 2015......

The "Middle Class" was a 50-year fluke designed to prevent a communist revolution during the Cold War. Now that the threat is gone, the elites are systematically dismantling it. You aren't "falling behind"; you’re being pushed back into the peasantry.

Can we also ban mobile phones in parliament, then? #bbcbreakfast @BBCBreakfast

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

I hope this list of banned sites/platforms makes it clear to everyone that none of this is about “protecting children” or “social media addiction”

Banning kids from listening to music might just be one of the most evil things you could do. Like a Mr Burns storyline from The Simpsons

@HenryCPorter @MegaphoneUK They want to privatise the British Library because rare books are needed to feed AI.

This article from Forbes outlines a court case where a rare books seller discovered books were being bought, digitised, then shredded.

I'm working on a technical analysis to expose how The Telegraph is selling compulsory phone surveillance as child protection on behalf of the British Government.

Charles Hymas reads more like a government mouthpiece than a journalist. A glance through his Telegraph articles reveals a pattern of amplifying government announcements without challenging their technical claims or explaining the consequences so Telegraph readers can be better informed.

What makes this especially dangerous is what he fails to explain to his own readers. The compulsory surveillance and identity verification capabilities being proposed threaten the digital privacy and anonymity that investigative journalists, their confidential sources and whistleblowers rely on.

Hymas appears remarkably unconcerned that the very protections journalism relies on are being dismantled under the pretext of protecting children, despite the serious risks these proposals could introduce for children themselves.

Follow my free Substack to be notified when it's published - link in my bio. I'm using it as a research and discussion community, not a traditional newsletter.

I'll publish as much of my work here as possible too, because I don't want to force anyone onto a specific platform. I don't get paid to write. My goal is to help people understand what governments and tech companies are actually doing, so journalists, lawyers, policymakers and others in positions of influence have the technical evidence they need to challenge colleagues who are pushing through laws that will effectively outlaw online anonymity. Everyone's civil liberties is at stake.

When people are forced to identify themselves before they're granted permission to use basic apps and services like their camera phone, they lose the freedom to speak, investigate and share information anonymously.

The British government is also attacking end-to-end encryption by demanding that private images and communications be inspected before they're encrypted or after they're decrypted. That undermines the entire purpose of end to end encryption.

This is dangerous. The UK is on fire when it comes to digital privacy and personal safety when using digital devices.

Apologies for the raging comments about politics in my country, but every single party is wanting to force us all into handing over photographic ID to use YouTube, Spotify, eBay and Vinted. I try to stay out of politics on here, but I am fucking SICK of these cunts!
