You may notice weird things over the prior blog or embed and weird stuff being inserted, that's because im trying to transition my blog over to bear. though it's gonna take a while to get all posts out there and it seems it ignores aligning meaning they're forced into the centered (1/3)

UK's age verification law is working exactly as critics predicted: a complete disaster.

Compliant sites lost 90% of users. Non-compliant sketchy sites saw traffic DOUBLE. On the bright side: Kids are now being taught to use Tor browser.

Congratulations, you played yourselves🧵

🚨Our governments are about to decide whether 450M Europeans deserve privacy - or not.

Help ensure your country says NO to Chat Control: Call you local representatives!

Privacy is not negotiable. Speak up now. ✊ #privacy

I am tired of putting that mask on so I’m taking out, thread with no specific up to count. Especially since there’s one day left it is time.

Let this serve as a reminder that we have ONLY ONE DAY before the parliament decides for #ChatControl

If LTT is making a video about Recall, this really cannot be emphasized enough at how bad recall is for privacy (granted it's not the only one thing but it's nice to get mainstream attention). @signal.org gets an honorable mention which is amazing:

The truth is privacy is a journey, not a destination.

For example: The goal is not just to install a private browser, but to continually refine browsing techniques that offer evolving usability and privacy advantages in alignment with your values over time.

Bluesky isn't safe either:

The harsh truth is truly federated platforms like Mastodon are far more resilient to this situation. It would be fantastic to see Bluesky fast-track its goals of becoming more federated.

Honestly I do not, at all regret Joining mastodon as a whole, I love the confidence of interaction and the community for that around I had, which goes to show. And with @privacyguides.org getting the ActivityPub switch on, my friend joining on Pixelfed, stuff's going to be more fun than on Bluesky!
X (formerly Twitter) confirms it has suspended Indian accounts per government requests.

• X blocked over 8,000 accounts

Safe to say I'm officially a @techlore.tech Moderator now. Honestly did not expect that time to come and I'm grateful for actually, for how many times I tried to become a moderator on discord servers. My last big positions as staff was Co-Owner of GD Bot and a Discord server with around 1k members.

Privacy isn't just a solo journey. If you care about privacy rights, you must also care for the data of the people around you. Together, we must start building a culture of data privacy where everyone cares for the data of others.
