@elsua54@mastodon.social I see you have good thoughts but also it's for the developers to share there troubles and considerations (Mastodon / Loops has done this / I've seen good stuff) in order to literally share them (as physical work maybe but also a filtering thought-process using the mass and team focusing just on that). #GrapheneOS posts as example seem a bit more personal while updating technically (they are also invested and all-out into personal #privacy #anonymity to protect from corps). @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social

Mark Wyner Won’t Comply :vm: @markwyner@mas.to · Jul 24, 2026

🚨 U.S. folks. There is one day left to comment on the FCC proposed rule to eradicate anonymity on all phone lines!

If they pass this rule government ID, physical address, and alternative phone number will be required for every new phone line. Anonymous phone lines and burner phones will cease to exist. That means no connected privacy via cellular at protests.

** Please add your comment! **

For the first field (proceedings) use these two:

17-59 and 02-278

#Wikipedia just dodged a bullet in the UK but is still in danger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2026-07-13/Special_report The bullet was the possibility of Category 1 classification under the UK Online Safety Act. It was spared that classification but remains on a "watch list" of platforms that "could become Category 1 at any point in the future." If Wikipedia is later classified as Category 1, then either (1) contributors could no longer be pseudonymous or (2) Wikipedia would be subject to severe penalties under UK law. How severe? The maximum penalty could include a fine up to £18 million, a UK-wide denial of access, and personal criminal liability for senior managers. #Anonymity #OnlineSafetyAct #UKLaw

NEW by me: The “Anonymous” Tip System That Wasn’t: Three Months Later, Why Hasn’t Navigate360 Notified Anyone? Note: there is a trigger warning at the top of this article as it contains sensitive material from tips submitted to and about students on what were supposed to be "anonymous" tiplines. https://databreaches.net/2026/07/06/the-anonymous-tip-system-that-wasnt-three-months-later-why-hasnt-navigate360-notified-anyone/ This is the longest post I have ever done because people need to be more aware that this was the worst breach EVER in terms of highly sensitive personal information of students and their peers and families. Great thanks to @douglevin@infosec.exchange for his comments and suggestions on the post. @funnymonkey@freeradical.zone @mkeierleber@journa.host @euroinfosec@infosec.exchange @jgreig@ioc.exchange @zackwhittaker@mastodon.social @campuscodi@mastodon.social @politico@newsie.social @dustinvolz@journa.host #databreach #anonymity #infosec #cybersecurity #Navigate360 #P3Campus #P3Global

I'm sure there are lots more! ...and WHY didn't anyone sue Google for breaking their unlimited storage promises? #Google #YouTube #GooglePhotos #Gmail #GooglePlus #Privacy #Anonymity

@fdroidorg@floss.social Please include the onion link in your post http://fdroidorg6cooksyluodepej4erfctzk7rrjpjbbr6wx24jh3lqyfwyd.onion/2026/07/01/adv-malware.html.en If this is the official f-droid floss.social account then I know you care about tor onion servers because the official fdroid website has an onion link Tor onion links provide greater anonymity to tor users than simply accessing the clearweb site through tor And the more people use tor and tor onion addresses for uncontroversial browsing the easier it becomes for people to hide in the traffic when it can be a matter of life or death what websites you are accessing #Tor #Censorship #FDroid #Privacy #Anonymity

New update from Anonymous Planet: The State of Digital Privacy in 2026. What the first half of the year actually showed: → FBI Director confirmed to Congress the bureau buys Americans' location data from brokers. No warrant required. → ICE ran facial recognition against 200M driver's license photos to ID people in the field → Predator spyware hit an Angolan journalist on World Press Freedom Day — despite U.S. sanctions on Intellexa → The SECURE Data Act would preempt stronger state privacy laws. EFF, EPIC, ACLU, and California's own privacy agency all oppose it. → ~100 countries have now procured commercial spyware per UK government assessment Full write-up with sources: https://opencollective.com/thgtoa/updates/the-state-of-digital-privacy-in-2026-what-the-data-actually-shows Guide: https://anonymousplanet.net #privacy #anonymity #surveillance #opsec #infosec #FOSS

I like Tor, but the downside is that many sites either block all Tor traffic, or I'm getting an exit node in a country that the website does not allow me to connect from. Many times I have to repeatedly press "new circuit" until the website loads. #Tor #Privacy #Security #Anonymity

""Every failed attempt to make children safer online is followed by more surveillance and censorship," he said. "Children have rights too and these policies will harm their free expression and privacy rights, and push them into less regulated spaces. Meanwhile the business models driving harms are untouched." Others questioned whether the measures can realistically be enforced. Mark Jones, an online harms specialist and partner at law firm Payne Hicks Beach, noted that the consultation closed only weeks ago and warned that determined teenagers have a habit of finding ways around restrictions. "A social media ban only helps if it is genuinely enforceable," Jones said. "If large numbers of young people simply circumvent the restrictions, parents will just lose visibility into where their children are actually spending time online rather than reclaiming any control." The political case for the crackdown appears relatively straightforward, but the practical one is less so. The government now has to persuade social media companies to enforce the rules and teenagers not to find ways around them." https://www.theregister.com/personal-tech/2026/06/15/britain-plots-digital-bedtime-after-kicking-under-16s-off-social-media/5255341 #UK #AgeVerification #NannyState #Surveillance #Oligopolies #Censorship #BigBrother #BigTech #Privacy #Anonymity

The US government subpoenaed Reddit to unmask an anonymous ICE critic. A grand jury order — often sealed, often requiring the platform to hand over data without warning the user.
