Chat Control and Age Verification laws aren't about protecting the children. They're about mass surveillance and rising authoritarianism.

These laws endanger everyone,
including the children,
and including democracy.

Privacy shouldn't be the privilege of the few.

To have functioning democracies
that value human rights, privacy must be the default for every individual.

Privacy must be accessible to everyone,
regardless of income or technical knowledge. Privacy must be the default even to those who do not know they need it.

Despite all the doom going on around,
privacy isn't a luxury or an issue we can ignore or deprioritize.

Privacy is the right protecting so many of our other rights. We cannot afford to lose it.

Well, Proton email just added a LLM under "writing assistant." Of course it's turned on by default and you have to manually turn it off.

They also just added something doing automatic labels (or "categories" whatever.) That implies parsing the contents of emails to, you know, figure out the labels. I can't find any way to turn that off. EDIT: Suddenly it's gone. I guess this is an upcoming feature that accidentally enabled for a bit.

I just don't even know anymore. They're the ones who most are supposed to not do this...

The $94 Million Smart Meter Surveillance Scheme Exposed

https://youtu.be/onYWQJsWFpk

Sacramento residents discovered their utility company has been secretly feeding their private energy data to police without warrants, leading to a massive surveillance operation that generated $94 million in fines. This explosive investigation reveals how SMUD transformed smart meters into government spy devices, monitoring when you shower, sleep, or use appliances.

Innocent homeowners faced armed police raids for using electricity to power medical equipment or mine cryptocurrency. One resident was forced outside in his underwear at gunpoint, while another disabled veteran was threatened with arrest for refusing warrantless entry. The surveillance threshold dropped dramatically from 7,000 to just 2,800 kilowatt hours per month, making air conditioning use suspicious in Sacramento's brutal heat.

Internal documents expose how SMUD analysts actively mined customer data for police, checking over 10,000 homes in a single month. Despite California law explicitly prohibiting utilities from sharing precise meter data without warrants, SMUD violated these protections daily for a decade.

The Electronic Frontier Foundation's lawsuit could reshape smart meter privacy nationwide. With the October 2025 court decision approaching, every American with a smart meter needs to understand how their utility company might be spying on them right now.
