My take on the Mullvad mayhem from today:

https://markwrites.io/if-your-company-funnels-money-to-fascists-youre-a-fascist-company

–
But hate speech isn’t free speech. It demands violence against marginalized people. There is no “both sides” to it. It’s not okay to “fundamentally disagree” on it. If you are a company who earns income, and that income is funneled to a fascist political party, it is absolutely part of your mission. Even if it’s turning a blind eye to a teammate with whom you disagree.
–

It saddens me to have to walk away from @mullvadnet, but I have a zero tolerance policy for fascism.

I hope they learn from this and reconsider their position.

The acronym GAFAM specifically refers to the following five major American technology companies:

Google (Alphabet)
Apple
Facebook (Meta)
Amazon
Microsoft

Ask yourself:
Do you live outside their control? Probably not.

The US Congress is considering legislation that cripples privacy and security online, under the guise of seeking a silver bullet that will “keep kids safe.”

Chat Control is back. This Monday, June 29, the EU holds its final negotiation on a regulation that could force messaging apps to scan your private messages before they’re encrypted, no warrant required.

Parliament rejected it by one vote in March. Now it’s being pushed through the back door.

Here’s the thing they can’t legislate around: you can’t scan what never touches a server. Zerion has no server to place a scanner on.

EFF to #Grindr: This #Pride Month, Put Safety and #Privacy Over Profits

🚨 The EU's #ChatControl proposal is back.

This isn't just another privacy debate.

The proposal could affect:
🔹 End-to-end encryption
🔹 Private messaging
🔹 Client-side scanning
🔹 Age verification
🔹 Digital privacy across Europe

Supporters say it's about protecting children from CSAM. Critics argue it could create a precedent for scanning everyone's private communications before they're encrypted.

I spent hours researching the legislation, the timeline, the technical implications, and what actually happens next.

📖 Read the complete guide here:

Please share. The more people understand the proposal, the better informed the public discussion will be.

It took me about 2 days to transfer over 250 GB of photos from Google Photos to @pixelunion with their migration tool. Now my photos are safe and sound in Europe.

The face recognition works even better than Google's, and Immich is an awesome piece of software. I would have hosted this entirely on my own like my Nextcloud, but paying a couple of bucks for 450 GB of storage and a fast server is a real bargain and saves me the hassle. Well done, PixelUnion!

NC Newsline: Police use of artificial intelligence grows as rules lag behind. “As law enforcement agencies increasingly embrace AI, some civil liberties advocates, legal scholars and policing experts warn that the technology could amplify surveillance, introduce hidden biases into investigations and make it harder to challenge evidence in court. They also worry about a future in which AI takes […]

The #Pentagon Is Looking Into the #Dialog Data Exposure for Unmasking National Security Officials

Citizen Lab confirmed this week that Russian authorities used Cellebrite to extract a detained activist’s phone, then searched it for political contacts to build a prosecution.

This is the exact threat Zerion was built for. Forensic tool detection (Cellebrite, GrayKey, ADB) locks the app instantly. Hidden profiles keep separate identities behind separate passwords. Auto-wipe triggers on failed unlocks.

Encryption isn’t enough when they hold the device.
