Just published tor-button on GitHub!
https://github.com/bashcore/tor-button
One-tap Tor: ON = anonymous, OFF = normal.
Tested 24h+ on 4 phones (Android 8 to 14, even Huawei/Narzo): no drops 😅
Tip: set it as Always-on VPN and disable battery optimization, or it will get killed.
Open source, no ads, no BS.

The #NationalParkService Is Using #Flock. #Rangers Are Pissed
The National Park Service (NPS), the agency tasked with managing the U.S. national parks and monuments, has purchased Flock cameras and had them installed at parks including in #Yosemite.
Current and former #NPS rangers are not happy about it.
“Flock protects property, not people or parks. People should be free to recreate in ways that are respectful to the ecosystem — but the #surveillance is a disrespectful invasion of #privacy ,” a current NPS ranger told 404 Media. 404 Media granted the ranger and others #anonymity because they weren’t permitted to speak to the press.

#TutaMail and #ProtonMail are by far the world's two best email providers/services for #Anonymity, #Privacy and #Security (#APS).
I have recently (12th August 2026) carried out a thorough research into this as I am planning to migrate to whichever is the best email provider/service for APS and move away and ditch US Big Tech.
Between the two, the one that comes on top depends on what you value most on aggregate. In individual edge terms, here is how they compare:
Tuta Mail: cheaper; more custom domains; more email addresses; more established/robust Post-Quantum (PQ) Security;
ProtonMail:

Tor Browser is a free, open-source browser from the nonprofit Tor Project. It routes everything through three volunteer relays: the first sees your IP but not the site, the last sees the site but not your IP. No single point knows both. Built to beat surveillance and censorship. Don't customize it — extensions or changed settings make you traceable. For everyday use Brave is enough; for real anonymity, Tor. torproject.org

The concentration camps, by making death itself anonymous (making it impossible to find out whether a prisoner is dead or alive), robbed death of its meaning as the end of a fulfilled life. In a sense they took away the individual’s own death, proving that henceforth nothing belonged to him and he belonged to no one. His death merely set a seal on the fact that he had never existed.
Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) German-American philosopher, political theorist
Origins of Totalitarianism, Part 3, ch. 12 “Totalitarianism in Power,” sec. 3 (1951)

@elsua54 I see you have good thoughts but also it's for the developers to share their troubles and considerations a bit more to literally share the burden out to people (both as physical work & solutions and also using the mass for thoughts and then team-focus on it when a genuis idea / offer come from the suggestions).
e.g. #GrapheneOS replies seem a bit more personal while updating technically (they are invested and all-out into personal #privacy #anonymity to protect from corps).

🚨 U.S. folks. There is one day left to comment on the FCC proposed rule to eradicate anonymity on all phone lines!
If they pass this rule government ID, physical address, and alternative phone number will be required for every new phone line. Anonymous phone lines and burner phones will cease to exist. That means no connected privacy via cellular at protests.

""Every failed attempt to make children safer online is followed by more surveillance and censorship," he said. "Children have rights too and these policies will harm their free expression and privacy rights, and push them into less regulated spaces. Meanwhile the business models driving harms are untouched."
Others questioned whether the measures can realistically be enforced. Mark Jones, an online harms specialist and partner at law firm Payne Hicks Beach, noted that the consultation closed only weeks ago and warned that determined teenagers have a habit of finding ways around restrictions.
"A social media ban only helps if it is genuinely enforceable," Jones said. "If large numbers of young people simply circumvent the restrictions, parents will just lose visibility into where their children are actually spending time online rather than reclaiming any control."
The political case for the crackdown appears relatively straightforward, but the practical one is less so. The government now has to persuade social media companies to enforce the rules and teenagers not to find ways around them."

"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."

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.

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.
