Zerion 2.0.2 is out. 🧅 Playstore Live - Fdroid underway!
No phone number — not even Signal can say that. No email, no server. Runs entirely over Tor; your data stays encrypted on your device.
End-to-end encrypted with hybrid post-quantum crypto. No telemetry, no logging — metadata-free by design.
2.0.2: more reliable broadcast channels, smoother onboarding, faster & more stable messaging.
Free & open source · GPL-3.0
→ https://zerion.chat
Quick reminder that Zerion runs on exactly two things: Tor and donations. Every contribution goes directly into stability fixes, new releases and the iOS version we’re working on. No investors, no ads, no company behind us. Just us and the people who want this to exist.
https://zerion.chat/donate.html
Boosts help more than you’d think.
A source wants to reach you safely. With most messengers that starts with a problem: they need your phone number, you get theirs, and a server in the middle logs that you two talked.
Zerion skips all of that. You share a QR code or link, the connection runs device to device over Tor, and no record of the contact exists outside your two phones.
Source code and protocol docs are public. Verify before you trust: https://github.com/zerionproject/Zerion

On June 12, developers across Europe woke up to a 403 error. Not a bug. A geopolitical decision. ⚠️
The U.S. government banned Anthropic's most advanced AI models for European users overnight. No warning. No appeal. Just a kill switch.
If the infrastructure is American, someone else holds the keys.

Michigan Lawmakers Want To Ban Chinese-Tagged Vehicles From Even Visiting The State. You Know, For Privacy.
Michigan lawmakers are pushing legislation that wouldn’t just ban the sales of Chinese-made cars in the The Great Lakes State, it would ban cars with Chinese tags from even visiting. The Protecting America From Chinese Cars Act joins the Connected Vehicle Security Act aiming to protect U.S. car companies from cheaper Chinese EV competition in […]

An interesting philosophical read, particularly if you focus on the surveillance and privacy properties of glass in the present context. It isn't a clean mapping, but it opens the mind to a bit of wondering..and wondering is good.

**First entry into RetroShare: how to find peers**
In RetroShare you don’t “find people” in the usual sense. You don’t search — you agree. This is a fundamental mindset shift; without it, the first launch will always feel empty.
The first thing to accept: there is no global lobby in RetroShare. The emptiness after installation is not a bug, but the honest state of a network without links. Until you have trusted contacts, you literally have no network.
**The basic method — out-of-band contact.**
Peers are found outside RetroShare. These are friends, colleagues, members of thematic communities, people from Matrix, XMPP, IRC, Mastodon, forums — any place where key exchange can happen safely. RetroShare does not start with a “search” button, but with the phrase: “here is my key.”
**The second path — a control peer.**
The most reliable way for first entry is a second instance you control, or a pre-arranged experimental partner. This removes uncertainty: if the connection fails, the issue is technical, not social.
**The third path — thematic islands.**
There are small RetroShare communities built around ideas: privacy, P2P, darknet research, offline activism. They are not widely advertised because the network is not designed for random influx. Entry always starts with dialogue, not a click.
**What does not work.**
Publishing keys into the void. Waiting for someone to add you. Relying on auto-discovery. This is centralized-network thinking applied to a system where it has no meaning.
**How to know you’ve found a peer.**
The contact comes online. The connection stabilizes. Services start working: chat, forums, file exchange. At that point RetroShare stops being an abstraction and becomes an environment for communication.
**Bottom line:**
in RetroShare, people appear first —
and only then does the network emerge.

Controversial #FISA spying law expires tonight. The #spying will continue.
Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence #Surveillance Act (FISA) is set to expire at midnight tonight after Congress failed to pass an extension of the controversial spying law. But that doesn't mean the government's spying powers will disappear.
Surveillance under #Section702 of FISA "operates under yearlong certifications approved by the FISA Court," the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law explained this week. The current certification will remain in place until March 2027 under the yearlong certification issued by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on March 17, 2026.

‘You Will Not Speak on #Flock Tonight’: County Commissioner Refuses to Let Residents Opposing Flock Speak at Meeting
A County Commissioner in #NorthCarolina refused to let dozens of residents speak opposing Flock #surveillance at a public meeting this week, instead forcing the group to designate one single spokesperson.
“How many people are here for public comment dealing with license plate readers AKA Flock?,” Michael Garrison, the chairman of the Madison County Board of Commissioners began the public meeting by saying. Nearly everyone in the audience’s hand went up. “Probably most everybody. Per our county policy, I’m going to respectfully ask that you guys take a few minutes to converse with each other, designate one person to speak … we’ll move forward with only one person, whoever that happens to be.”
“What? No. We all want to speak on this,” someone in the crowd said; others can be heard trying to object as well.

We wrote an honest comparison of Zerion against Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Threema, Wire, Session, Cwtch and Tox.
Honest meaning: Signal gets credit for pioneering post-quantum key exchange, Cwtch is genuinely close in spirit, and each app is the right call for some threat model.
Where Zerion stands alone: post-quantum encryption on every single message, and everything (including calls) over Tor.
