wifi signals detecting your movement through walls without cameras
keystroke cadence identifying you faster than a fingerprint
your phone's accelerometer logging your gait so precisely it knows which leg you favor
ultrasonic beacons in retail stores pairing your devices to your physical location
license plate readers logging 99% of urban driving routes within 24 hours
behavioral biometrics scoring how you hold your phone to decide if you're you
and these are just the ones with published white papers

This is effectively my take on 404 Media’s viral headline about Proton.
I say headline because the article itself does cover that this is all that happened and quotes Proton’s response that if people pay with crypto they won’t have anything for the govt to subpoena. Nonetheless, everyone has been up in arms.
I’ve been a Proton fan for years and this changed nothing for me. Well not nothing, I’ll probably pay in Monero when I renew.

The state wants to lock down the entire internet and force users to verify their identity just to access it.
Fuck that, we will build our own internet.
Let's get these mesh networks up and running across the entire globe.
Interested in any and all incentivization models. How do we incentivize regular people to set up nodes?
Who is working on tokenization of mesh networks?

We all know age verification is a tool for surveillance. The worst part is who benefits most. It's being rolled out all over the world.
Critically thinking on it, Big Tech and Big Data win the most.
Corporate backed Linux distros have already been signaling they might comply but no full announcements have been made yet. People like System76 and Canonical do not have a legal chest big enough to endure fines. Catch 22.
Such moves can create a schism within Linux as some defy and the others fold. This is before you get to all the moving parts required.
There are no losses in this for Microsoft whatsoever or truth be told any of big tech.
One move is possible to restore everything in Linux to right though the reputation damage will already be done. The interstate commerce clauses. Given this is coming from both sides of the aisle who will defend Linux?

KYC requirements are killing the open web.
Every time a platform forces you to submit government ID just to exist online, they're building a surveillance database that would make the Stasi jealous.
And the worst part? They're doing it "for your safety."

TikTok doesn't want to implement encryption in its messaging
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cly2m5e5ke4o
TikTok has decided not to apply end-to-end encryption to its private messages, arguing that this measure would hinder the actions of the police and security teams when it's necessary to review conversations to protect especially the youngest users.
The company defends that its messages already have a standard level of protection and that only authorized personnel can access them in specific situations, such as serious complaints or legal requirements.
I imagine that protecting children from their own algorithm isn't seen as an option.
