Florida is now the most aggressive state in America when it comes to pushing digital ID. It already bans social media for anyone under 14, and a federal appeals court just let that law take effect.

In September, the Attorney General asked a court to force age verification on he went after Meta for the same thing.

Then Discord was sued for not scanning private messages thoroughly enough.

Now he wants age checks built into your phone’s operating system and the app store itself.

Every app download in the state would start with proving how old you are. He promises the checks will be privacy-protective. He has not said how.

Discord’s last experiment with ID checks leaked over 70,000 government IDs.

"Sheriff Thomas clarified that the current and new readers are not Flock cameras. The new system, which will include dash cameras, is made by Axon."

🤦‍♂️

FBI Director Kash Patel has formally agreed to work with Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz to reform Section 230, which critics say will target Americans on social media who post "conspiracy theories" about Israel.

I spent 2 weeks in Europe with activists from the some of the world's most oppressive regimes.
They told me: “You’re far closer to this than you think.”
Freedom can disappear really fast. Have you noticed the red flags of digital authoritarianism around you?

Discord told users it doesn’t look at their messages, calls, or other content when sorting accounts by age. Florida is now suing Discord because it doesn’t look at their messages, calls, or other content. The complaint objects that Discord’s filters only scan images and videos and calls untouched.

It lists voice and video channels as an unfair practice. It wants ID checks before users can be seen or share anything.

The state is seeking up to $150,000 per violation and a court order to make it happen.

Florida calls this child safety but it's a demand that nobody on Discord gets to have a private conversation again.

BILLIONAIRE JACK DORSEY SAYS: "IF #BITCOIN ENDS UP JUST BEING DIGITAL GOLD, IT IS A FAILED PROJECT"

"IF IT BECOMES A CURRENCY PEOPLE USE ON A DAILY BASIS, IT WILL SUCCEED"

"YOU HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE WHITE PAPER. IT SAYS P2P ELECTRONIC CASH"

"THAT'S WHY I'M IN IT."

"I'M NOT "I WANT EVERYONE IN THE WORLD NOT TO HAVE TO ASK PERMISSION TO MOVE THEIR MONEY" 🔥

Tor's own dev admits it.
The setting is still in the prefs file,
but they ripped out the code behind it.
It's a light switch bolted to a wall with no wiring.
You flip it, feel safe, and nothing happens.
The protection is gone.
The illusion stays.

LG Smart TVs bypass physical microphone switches to record ambient conversations and upload up to 4 gigabytes of household data per month

Once again, this is a private company with no restrictions on what it can do use we know the government buys this kind of data and will spy on us in secret, we should see this for what it is: a Flock audio device sitting right in our homes.

Your Smart TV is spying on you. It’s taking 100s of snapshots a second of everything you watch, and quietly sending that data to 3rd parties.
Surveillance has crept into our living rooms and bedrooms.

India banned Jack Dorsey’s messaging app. There’s just one problem: it works without the internet.

The music industry has asked the EU to add yt-dlp, an open source video downloader, to its Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List. IFPI's submission even names the volunteer developers who maintain it. It also wants Cloudflare, GoDaddy and Verisign on the list, because apparently the company running .com is now a piracy concern.

LaLiga has gone after NordVPN, ProtonVPN, ExpressVPN and Surfshark over affiliate blogs it never names or links to. A Spanish court already threw out its last attempt to fine NordVPN.

The Commission insists the list makes no findings of legal violations. It just tells the world which lawful tools the entertainment industry would like to see gone...

The EU is literally trying to kill their video game market because a bunch of parents can't be bothered to educate their kids correctly and keeping an eye on their activities.
This policing under the guise of "security for kids" is destroying everything!!!!😡🤬
