It's already working.
Oppose online censorship and suddenly you're a "deviant pervert" who's just mad your favorite porn is disappearing.
That's the trick: reframe defending free speech and civil liberties as defending the worst porn imaginable.
Now who wants to speak up?

Age verification methods cause people to decide not to access content.
Barriers to speech are... barriers to speech.
Really interesting new study. In this environment, government-ID methods achieved only 18–27% completion "regardless of reassurances"

btw proton pass and bitwarden have nearly full feature parity, free tiers, cheaper paid tiers, and open source clients
Omarchy is a time machine that allows you to use the computer of tomorrow, right now.
@1Password is serious about making it safe to use creds with agents. But that's just the start. We have a vision beyond that, and Omarchy represents an opportunity for us to dream bigger.

Design D is the best Euro design and I will tell you why:
- they include the sound waveforms produced by the birds
- they include their habitats and travel paths
- each bird’s footprints and foot shape are included as security marks
- the bills are both vertical and horizontal

hello! i developed a bot that passively detects and removes all Mr. Beast scam images on Discord.
it’s a bot used in 30,000 servers that has a ~10-step detection sequence to always keep ahead of the scams.

China scanning private messages - bad, evil, dystopian, mass surveillance
EU scanning private messages - good, protecting children, necessary, nothing to worry about

🔸 Support for a social media ban plummets to just HALF if enforcing it requires uploading ID
🔸Support sinks below half if would require banning VPNs too, according to new data.
The public has spoken - no to sweeping internet restrictions & intrusive ID checks to post online
”The mass collection of ID information and biometric data will not keep children safe, but instead creates an entirely new set of cybersecurity risks that threaten the rights and freedoms of children and adults alike…
Rather than forcing British users to consistently put their sensitive personal data on the line, the Government should stand up to Big Tech directly, and tackle its harmful business practices at the source.” - Maya Thomas

Osmium doesn't spy on all your images with AI. We don't by policy and can't under EU law.

@StopKilingGames is joining a massive global coalition to launch Stop Killing the Internet alongside @BigBrotherWatch , @IndexCensorship , @OpenRightsGroup , @defenddigitalme , @NO2ID , @sflc , @digiges_ch , Hosting Haven, @OpenMediaOrg , IuRe, @LabDRN , @techfdemocracy , Electronic Frontiers Australia, @EuropeanPirates , @AlderonGames , @RWSstudios , @ProgressiveVic and the @EuEthInstitute .
👀 From KOSA to Chat Control, governments worldwide are pushing a synchronized agenda of surveillance, censorship, and digital access restrictions. This infrastructure doesn't just threaten the open web, it puts gaming communities, private servers, and digital preservation directly in the crosshairs.
🤝 We are building a global hub for research and resistance to challenge this dangerous shift toward state-controlled platforms.
💪 We need all hands on deck.
Join the movement: stopkillingtheinternet.com/
🙌 The answer to online safety cannot be the surveillance and censorship we were warned about in Orwell's 1984. It’s time to fight back!

gen z is mostly incredibly immature and obsessed with social media’s perception of every single thing they do, so they consider everything “cringe” by default and exaggerate anything that IS considered “social media friendly” by extreme
as a result, instead of actually being queer and “woke”, they do a full circle and end up being just as homophobic and conservative as the previous generations via mockery, posturing, and imaginary self-imposed limitations and shaming, such as “sex bad because capitalism”
i’m saying this as gen z btw, it’s really annoying to try to reason with people like this. it feels like they have no personality and have to gather it from somewhere else

For a long time we had this narrative pushed in the European Union that was "we're free, look at China, they are bad, they control their citizens every move, we have it so good".
Now things changed. For a while now we're trying to do everything China did and go beyond, why is that? What changed?
On top of that, it's being done in a way to purely control the people. Chat Control? Oh that's just for the normal person, EU politicians are exempt. Why is that?
Now the whole VPN propaganda. Why is that?
Banning legal VPNs would only affect normal citizens. The criminals will still setup their own remote servers in multiple regions, and I 100% believe that the EU politicians / elites would have them too.
I'm not sure how we can get away from this situation, the only way I can see an out is somebody with a lot of influence like @yanisvaroufakis creating some alternative EU political option, I don't believe that normal people can do anything, and I don't believe that any political parties can too, the system is just too intertwined, the connections are too deep and wide.
Virtual private networks #VPN are increasingly used to bypass online age verification.
Protecting children online is a priority, with new rules being implemented requiring a minimum age for access to some services

ALT EPRS at-a-glance (first page) on 'Virtual private networks and the protection of children online' (January 2026)
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
According to the University of Michigan research paper "Multi-perspective study of VPN users and VPN providers," 82.1% used VPNs "to protect myself from various threats/adversaries."
No research shows that VPNs would be increasingly used to bypass online age verification.

— Вот мой новый VPN сетап. Как вам?
— Ух ты, красивый, вы только посмотрите.
— Только вчера дописал конфиг. sing-box + GeoIP базы Antizapret для сплит-роутинга на клиенте, FakeIP против утечек DNS, Shadowsocks 2022 over Cloak в качестве транспорта. Первый хоп на сервера VK Cloud в России, потом в Нидерланды. Фолбек на коммерческие сервера RedShield через AmneziaWG2.0.
— Оnлично, Бейтман, но всё это пустяки. Смотри. Сплит трафика по приложениям: браузерный трафик идёт через Naive Proxy, тяжёлый трафик — через Hysteria2 с Brutal, на разные VPS, также с мультихопом через Россиию. Telegram через MTProto. Подключено два интернет-провадйера, между которыми роутер переключается по round-robin в случае потери связи. DNS leak исключён за счёт использования DoH к Quad99 и блокировки исходящего трафика на 53 порт. Ну как?
— Красиво. Высший класс. (Не думал, что у него столько вкуса. Не могу поверить, что Брайсу больше понравился стек Ван-Пата)
— Но постойте. Вы ещё ничего не видели. VLESS через Xray-Core с транспортом в виде WebSocket и gRPC — трафик идёт до известных CDN: Cloudflare, NGENIX, Yandex CDN и CDN77, с domain-fronting и ротацией в зависимости от пинга и загрузки. Глобальный фолбек в виде Tor Snowflake (WebRTC) через хоп на резидентный IP в Беларуси, с которым устанавливается параллельный настоящий звонок для маскировки.
— Очень красиво... А покажи-ка VPN Пола Алена.
Какой лаконичный стек... Это же золотой стандарт индустрии... VLESS + Reality + XTLS-Vision + uTLS... И первый хоп подобран со вкусом: белосписочный VPS в Yandex Cloud... Максировка под сертификат Yandex Market из той же подсети, защита от активного пробинга... Боже, даже фолбек есть: нелегальный turn-proxy через абьюз WebRTC звонков Вконтакте...
