A Swedish VPN company got physically raided by police who seized their servers looking for user data.

They found nothing.

Not because Mullvad got lucky. Because they built the entire company so there was never anything to find.

Since 2009 they haven't collected an email, a name, or a password from a single customer.

You sign up by generating a random 16 digit number. That number never touches your identity anywhere.

Their servers run entirely on RAM instead of disks, so the moment a server powers off, everything on it is gone.

Police can walk out with the hardware and walk away with an empty box.

The raid became their best advertisement. A company can't leak what it never had. It can't be subpoenaed for logs that don't exist.

It can't quietly hand your history to anyone, because there is no history sitting anywhere to hand over.

5 euros a month. Fully open source apps you can read line by line. 18 audits and counting.

Most VPNs promise privacy. This one got tested by an actual police raid and passed.

Seems crazy but it’s real. They’re consulting on plans to downrank independent YouTubers in favour of “the beloved shows and valued services that the nation’s trusted and regulated broadcasters provide” on misinformation grounds. https://t.co/ZEm06fk9XF

The House just passed the KIDS Act, 267 to 117. To "protect kids," platforms would make everyone verify their age by handing over a government ID or getting their face scanned. It's in the Senate now.

We have a few tools to help people push back...

[Captain Cabinetz 💖✨ @CaptainCabinetz]

The UK government are looking to directly get involved in the YouTube algorithm to push “traditional” media and downrank independent creators

This cannot be let to happen, it will affect EVERYONE.

I urge every single CC to talk about this

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.

BREAKING: About 120 U.S. military veterans were arrested inside the Cannon House Office Building today protesting Trump's war on Iran.

Some were on crutches. Some were in wheelchairs. Some carried the burial flags of fallen soldiers.

They are members of About Face — veterans who know what war costs because they have already paid for one.

Capitol Police handcuffed disabled veterans and dragged them out of the rotunda.

53% of American voters oppose the war. 74% oppose ground troops. 61% disapprove of Trump's handling of it.

The people who fought America's last wars are now being arrested for trying to stop the next one.

Never stop connecting the dots.

While Filipinos are adamant about getting rid of Israelis from Siargao, FDCP just granted incentives to an Israeli production company to shoot in our country. I hope FDCP realizes that doing business with Israeli companies literally enable the death machine of Israel.

More like: "We value your data" 🤡

Google shares your data with advertisers, publishers, and developers across its ad network. Visit any site using Google Ads or Analytics, and that activity gets tied back to your profile, then shared outward.

Meta shares your information with advertisers and measurement partners to personalize ads across the internet, on and off their platforms. Their own policy confirms this happens whether or not you're logged in.

Dropbox shares your data with OpenAI, Oracle, Twilio, Zendesk, and others. Their Dash feature also imports 90 days of your browser history.

If "We value your privacy" is followed by "we share your data with partners", that isn't a privacy policy, it's a supply chain.

Crazy story out of Qatar:

A British couple honeymooned in Doha, where the wife was harassed at the Ritz-Carlton pool by two men who told her she'd "fall in love" after he slept with her.

The hotel gaslit her, with management denying the CCTV backed her story despite their own WhatsApp messages saying the opposite.

Her husband posted a TripAdvisor review calling the hotel "unsafe for women." The hotel got it pulled, then a hotel employee filed a defamation complaint against him under Qatar's cybercrime laws.

Nearly a year later, when he returned to Qatar for work, he was detained, informed he'd been tried in absentia and fined, and then held for four nights in a deportation centre. The deportation order lasts five years, which severely hurts his career as a Middle East healthcare consultant.

In other words, Marriott International, an American company, used Qatari law to silence a complaint about a woman being sexually harassed at their property.

This is the worst news I could have gotten from Japan today

It begins... age verification hits Japan in the same way it hit the UK and EU.

Remind me again how this isn't all connected?

France is prosecuting X because a politician thinks the algorithm favors Musk's views. The DOJ just told Paris it won't help. Algorithmic choices are speech, and Europe wants to criminalize the wrong ones...

hilarious that we went from “never give out any real information about yourself on the internet” to “a handful of companies we know for a fact to be truly evil are going to require your govt name, DOB, and address for you to go online and it’s impossible to live an offline life”

[Savvy ( ˶ˆ꒳ˆ˵ ) @MadamSavvy]

Fight them.

This is their last push. If they win, we all lose. Every human.

Age verification is stoppable. No one has to play along.

We pay their bills.

We dont have to tolerate this.

[DeepHumor @DeepHumor]

Remember that Meta is the scumbag company that is funding age verification laws in the first place. They’ve wanted this from the beginning
