BTW the #copyright #oligarchy already have the power to force the hand of ISPs & DNS without the courts.
the #DMCA does away with “innocent until proven guilty” on the matter of copyright infringement; giving ample powers to corporate copyright holders to #blackhole whole websites ―especially independent bloggers and small publishers without legal deparments. happened to me twice.
in theory, this new law is bullshit. what they’re obviously targeting are VPNs: to make #VPN #anonymity illegal.
The American Copyright Protection Act would let copyright owners seek court orders forcing ISPs, DNS providers, and VPNs to block Americans’ from accessing to entire websites. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/10/congress-has-another-site-blocking-bill-and-one-targets-vpns

"Make no mistake: These kinds of regulations are like a bad cold — they spread fast and are hard to shake. Governments and legislators around the world are constantly peeking over the fence at their neighbors to see what policies they’re rolling out and asking themselves whether they, too, can enact such laws.
You shouldn’t be surprised when more nations ask, If Turkey can do away with that pesky anonymous internet speech, why can’t we? In fact, the sentiment already exists in democratic nations freer than Turkey. In February, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called for an end to anonymous posts. “I want to see real names on the internet,” he said. “I want to know who is speaking.” Coincidentally or not, Germany also prosecutes insults to public officials. Not long after Merz’s statements, police investigated a Facebook comment calling Merz “Pinocchio.”
Anonymous online speech is in peril even here in the United States. In 2023, then-presidential candidate Nikki Haley walked back her demand that companies “verify every single person” using their platforms “by name.” The idea was toxic at the time, and she faced backlash among conservatives. But in the years since, that campaign has ballooned. The bipartisan Kids Online Safety Act, which enjoys Democratic and Republican support, as well as the constantly growing list of state-level age-verification bills in red and blue states are putting a real strain on Americans’ ability to remain anonymous, whether they are 16 years old or 60."

Is there facility to run the phone app via TOR network, to hide user IP from the relay?
Inform your friends and family about these tools.
#Briar ... https://briarproject.org
"Censorship-resistant peer-to-peer messaging that bypasses centralized servers. Connect via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Tor, with privacy built-in."
#Retroshare ... https://retroshare.cc

#Bitmessage ... https://bitmessage.org
"Bitmessage is a P2P communications protocol used to send encrypted messages to another person or to many subscribers. It is decentralized and trustless, meaning that you need-not inherently trust any entities like root certificate authorities. It uses strong authentication which means that the sender of a message cannot be spoofed, and it aims to hide "non-content" data, like the sender and receiver of messages, from passive eavesdroppers like those running warrantless wiretapping programs."
#TorBrowser ... https://www.torproject.org/download
"Protect yourself against tracking, surveillance, and censorship."
"The Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is a fully encrypted private network layer. It protects your activity and location. Every day people use the network to connect with people without worry of being tracked or their data being collected. In some cases people rely on the network when they need to be discrete or are doing sensitive work."

Usenet is accessible via TOR and open access servers that don't require registration or identifying information.
The writer can write and discuss using a pseudonym or pen name without fear of retaliation from employers, government, friends, and family. This encourages some people to share their innermost thoughts they would otherwise not express. Of course it also encourages trolls, but there are plenty of trolls everywhere else.
Usenet is text-centric so unlike the fediverse there is not a stream of distracting images.
Even after all these years I still prefer reading and posting Usenet newsgroups over all other forms of so-called, 'social media'.

"Hosting a Tor hidden service — also known as an onion site — typically requires in-depth technical skills and manual configuration. With TorServ, you can host a static website anonymously in seconds, without touching any config files."This software deserves some attention. It could be useful for at-risk people who need to publish while protecting identity.

Two slices of red onion stacked one atop the other. The onion symbolizes TOR, The Onion Network, and its multiple layers of cryptographic obfuscation.
NEWSCARD Publish and fetch permanent named records via Network News
Newscard creates a decentralized, encrypted, named record paste bin.
[git repo] https://codeberg.org/OCTADE/newscard (use most recent version only)
With a single command, name the card, snarf the file and encrypt it.
With another command, push the encrypted file to the public network.
With another short command, snarf a file from the network.
Only users knowing the name [key] of the record will be able to decrypt it.
If a strong passphrase is used to name the file, it will be very secure.
This is useful for quickly snarfing, encrypting, and publishing a text file:
$~: card enc [passphrase] [file]
$~: card put [passphrase]
It is useful for retrieving a text file with just a key:
$~: card get [passphrase]
$~: card show [passphrase]
If and when you want the general public to access the record just share the keyword.
Newscard uses nine (9) (NINE) layers of encryption with OpenSSL chacha20 cipher.
Newscard generates 9 each of: cipher keys, salts, key iteration parameters.
It would be nice if something like this were added to the ActivityPub protocol, such that keyword[@]host.url would do the same thing. Then secret text records could be stored securely for later retrieval or revelation.

Playing card of the Jack of Clubs. The Jack is a moustached man in a black top hat and suit in a oval center cameo. The colors are inverted so that everything on the face is black except the lines which are white, like a charcoal cutout picture., giving it a retro digital appearance mixed with retro handicraft vibes.
