The goal isn't to protect children,
the goal is to de-anonymize every comment and action on the internet, associating it with a legal ID, by eventually requesting official identification from every adult using a computer.

Some politicians have already stated this plainly.

This leads to censorship of anyone criticizing their government.

This leads to repression of marginalized people, especially immigrants, people of color, and trans and gender diverse people.

This leads to self-censorship of any comments or actions that could be interpreted against the system. Such as speaking out against fascism and authoritarian surveillance, or defending human rights publicly.

This leads to total control of the population and its tools of communications.

This leads to the end of democracy, centralizing power even more in the hands of a few.

Do not let them do this to us.

Thinking about that time someone called me a "sweet summer child" and I very much feel like calling me a "bitter winter elder" would be so much more appropriate.

Whenever you hear "ban for kids" on the internet, read in reality "ID collection by a sketchy third-party company that will definitely use it or leak it or both for every adult."

Because that's what this truly means.
Also, it doesn't even help the kids.

If enough Canadians contact
their local representatives, as well Mark Carney's office this week, we might be spared from this authoritarian mass-surveillance measure called "Age Verification" in Canada.

The time to fight back is NOW: https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/social-media-ban-for-kids-under-consideration-in-online-harms-bill-carney/

Privacy is a human right essential to safety and democracy. If we do not fight to protect it, we will lose it.

Social media ban for kids under consideration in online harms bill: Carney
CTVNews

Social media ban for kids under consideration in online harms bill: Carney

While there should be “debate” in Canada about a social media ban for children, Prime Minister Mark Carney says he has not made up his own mind on the issue yet.

We need to push much harder against
Age Verification laws and law proposals.

Contact your local representatives NOW to tell them you firmly oppose these privacy-destroying laws that will harm democracy and civil liberties in unprecedented ways.

Here's the thing about Proton Mail:

With Proton Mail, the content of your email is fully end-to-end encrypted and inaccessible to service providers IF (and only if) you are communicating with another Proton Mail account, or you have set up a PGP key exchange otherwise.

The metadata of your email, however, isn't end-to-end encrypted. It is accessible in plain text to Proton. This includes:

  • Your payment information
  • The subject line of your emails
  • Your IP address(es), which can reveal your location
  • The email addresses you have communicated with
  • The time you have sent and received emails

If Proton is legally forced to provide this information to law enforcement, they will. They have to.

If your threat model makes it that it's dangerous for you when this metadata is shared, you need to use another, more private, method of communication.

A world without privacy is also a world without intimacy, without individuality, without diversity, and without democracy.

Certain politicians have clearly expressed they want a world without privacy.

We cannot let them have it passively. We must fight back for our rights. Now.

Or we will lose them.

Good News! 🚨👀

I am delighted to finally announce today what I've been working on in the past few weeks:

Privacy Guides' new Activism section! :awesome:
https://privacyguides.org/activism/

The Activism section offers a new way to empower the digital rights community. It will progressively grow with more tools to support the community in its privacy activism effort, both for individuals and organizations 💛

As Privacy Guides' new Activism & Outreach Lead, I will be working hard on developing this section even further in the coming weeks, adding many more tools to support our community.

I hope this can be a helpful resource for anyone who is ready to fight for privacy rights ✊🔒

AI corporations can't get your money, because most people don't want to pay for that. And they need a lot of money to justify their investment.

So they're going after government contracts, with their powerful network of lobbyists. That way, your government can give them your money anyway. To pay for that, they will very likely cut in public services.

If you don't want that to happen, email or call your government representatives.

When people are not celebrating the small victories in the long battles for human rights we are fighting, I am terrified.

I am terrified of the worse threat of all to our movements: Giving up.

I am terrified that when people forget to celebrate their wins, they get so tired and discouraged that they give up the fight entirely. Discouragement leads to apathy. And apathy leads to defeat.

Please please, I implore you:
Take care of your mood :blobheartcat:
Celebrate the small wins 🎉
Give others some time to celebrate, even when victories are only partial :neocat_heart:

We need hope to survive and thrive 💚

The control of the computer is getting shifted from you, who bought the computer, to the seller of the computer. This should not happen. You should be angry about this. You should refuse to be controlled. You should resist.

Age Verification isn't a technical problem to solve. If you think that, you're missing the point. It's a social problem used by authoritarian governments as an excuse for population control and censorship. It's a fundamental attack on free speech and democracy. It must not be accommodated. It must be stopped. #MassSurveillance #AgeVerification #Privacy #Democracy #HumanRights

I'm not using any LLM or "AI" for anything that I write or draw. Never had, and never will.

I'm making this choice because:

• This technology was built by unethically stealing the hard work of millions without any consent or compensation.

• This technology has and is still constantly scraping data, including personal data, from people without their knowledge or consent, in complete disregard of the privacy laws we have to protect us.

• This technology unnecessarily uses vast amounts of energy in a world where using more energy sadly usually means more pollution.

• This technology is working on devaluating labor in order to enrich even more the already rich, aggravating poverty everywhere.

• This technology is misleadingly being sold as a solution to problems it cannot solve.

• This technology is supercharging disinformation and manipulation online, centralizing an incredible power of influence in the hands of a few controlling billionaires.

• This technology is increasingly being used by authoritarian governments in order to surveil and control the people.

• This technology atrophies our creativity and capability to think, as well as harming our social relationships.

• This technology makes my writing voice feel flat and boring. I'd rather learn to live with my human tipos.

• This technology...

Do not comply.

Do not share your ID or biometric data with abusive platforms requesting it. You have a choice to say no, complain, and leave.

This is an important act of resistance for the future of humanity.

This isn't just about privacy, this is also about safety, diversity, democracy, and human rights.

Last year, I wrote this article about dating apps privacy ❤️🔒

It has a focus on queer dating apps for Pride, but I think it contains valuable information for anyone using any dating apps.

If you are currently using a dating app,
or thinking of using one, you might find some useful tips and warnings in there: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/06/24/queer-dating-apps-beware-who-you-trust/

Do you think there should be a dating app that is:

• Privacy-respectful 🔒
• Inclusive :rainbow_heart:
• Open-source :opensource:
• Using solid end-to-end encryption 🔑
• For people of the Fediverse :mastodon:
• To meet in a safe space away from modern commercial spying dating apps? :neocat_heart:

Boosted by Darby Lines @angry_drunk@union.place
Each time a new privacy-invasive feature like facial scanning is implemented, if people in majority comply and accept to use it, it will soon become normality, and other options will be marginalized or even removed entirely. If each time a new privacy-invasive feature is implemented people opted to refuse it, it would soon be discontinued. Each individual opposition to privacy-invasive features matters. It is an act of self-protection but, perhaps even more importantly, it is also an act of protest. A protest against the normalization of mass surveillance and the loss of privacy rights. The fact that there are other cameras around doesn't mean that more cameras or additional scanning is not making things even worse. If we do not refuse, if we do not fight for our privacy rights, we will lose them all. #Privacy #MassSurveillance #AgeVerification #FacialRecognition #HumanRights #DigitalRights

So that they understand the dangers
of the surveillance infrastructure they are currently putting in place.

Stay vigilant about your online communities. If each time someone engages their post is received with hostility or negative feedback, they will soon disengage and leave. This behaviour might be done on purpose to chase some marginalized people away, or might be done subconsciously from internalized biases or systemic discrimination. Sadly, the result is the same. If you are part of a privileged group, observe how marginalized people are being replied to in your online communities, and use your privilege to intervene when necessary. Sometimes, just showing a little support or positive feedback can make a significant difference to keep your communities diverse, inclusive, and happy.

Please keep in mind:
Surveillance capitalism is surveillance.

It's not mild surveillance,
it's mass surveillance.

Do you believe that Clearview AI, a facial recognition company that scraped more than 20 billions images from social media platforms and the internet, without consent from the subjects, to sell their product to law enforcement and government agencies, is a privacy-respectful product because it does respect the privacy of its users?

Ethically, I don't feel there's much difference between having an account on Truth Social and having an account on X at this point.

If you wouldn't create an account on Truth Social, perhaps it's time to finally delete your account on X.

I really wish everyone would stop making fun of the people they don't like based on their physical appearance. We really need to collectively grow up from this high-school bully mindset. When you use appearance instead of ideas and behaviors to criticize someone, even someone deserving mockery, you are also shooting at everyone who might look like them, even the ones that might be incredibly good people. There is more than enough content to talk against when it comes to the tyrants that currently surround us. Talk against their ideas, their words, and their actions. Be relentless for that. But their physical appearance is irrelevant to their moral deficiencies. Mock their words, but not their looks.

It's white people's responsibility to stop racism. It's men's responsibility to stop sexism. It's cis people's responsibility to stop transphobia. It's straight people's responsibility to stop homophobia. It's able people's responsibility to stop ableism. It's always the responsibility of the people in a position of privilege to stop the oppression they are benefiting from. If you are part of a privileged group, in one way or another, get to it.

You can refuse to provide official ID or biometric data for social media accounts requiring age verification.

Actually, I bet if everyone did refuse, and let their account dormant for a couple of weeks, you would suddenly see American Big Tech transforming into the fiercest defender of your privacy rights, using their powerful network of lobbyists to fight these invasive government regulations.

They need you more than you need them.
Force them to work for your rights.
Do not comply.

If corporations make more money from the infraction than the fine, they will always choose the infraction. Regulations and regulators need to make fines an actual deterrent.

You might think it's not a priority with all the doom happening around. But the erosion of privacy rights is directly linked to the erosion of human rights, and the loss of democracy. Privacy makes it safe for you to discuss, to organize, to resist, and to be your true self. This is exactly why fascists and authoritarians are attacking it. If we lose privacy, we lose everything else. We have to defend it with all we've got. Privacy rights are a priority. #Privacy #HumanRights #Democracy

I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪 The annoyance of cookie banners doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data. No data-harvesting cookies = No banner. Simple. My websites have no cookie banners, because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.
