Big thank you to everyone who participated in our AMA on the harms of age-verification mandates over on Reddit’s r/privacy this week. We got some really good questions—did we answer any of yours? www.reddit.com/r/privacy/c...

a Petition aiming to withdraw bill C-2 is still open for signatures until January 27th. it only has a little over 4K signatures at the moment, and C-2 is REALLY dangerous so if youre canadian/ a CA resident, you should sign this ASAP! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

We’ve put together a blog post as well explaining all the bills! act.gp/48MkLZL

If you're Canadian then please contact your senators and tell them to oppose Bill C-12

#savespeech #stopC2&C12 Canadians, do your part and stop these bills. We can't let them pass. @daemonik.bsky.social @copevancouver.bsky.social

I’m going to take the rest of this year off of this account and onto my main account. I spent much of the second half of this year wearing myself thin with all this censorship crap, and I think it’s time I take a well-deserved break. Thanks for sticking with me up till now!

Kleiner Protipp: Spendet das ganze Jahr über. @netzpolitik.org @digiges.bsky.social @freiheitsrechte.org @fragdenstaat.de ... tbc Allen, die euch am Herzen liegen.

Pünktlich zu Weihnachten die #Vorratsdatenspeicherung vorgelegt. Ein toller Termin zum Vergraben dieser Nachricht - nicht mit uns. #VDS www.tagesschau.de/inland/innen...

Bundesjustizministerin Hubig hat innerhalb der Bundesregierung einen Gesetzentwurf für eine neue #Vorratsdatenspeicherung vorgelegt. Was viele Menschen von der #VDS halten, seht ihr bei unserem Loops Kanal: loops.video/v/cLfaOF8OYr

Tuta are great people in fighting for more privacy, and i can only recommend using their mail service for 3,60€ a month. you support the continued fight for privacy and hey - you get a pretty neat mail service too 🤭😌

f-droid? by default? I'M TAKING IT

CONGRATS SOLDIER, we've hit 2 weeks of solid #SaveSpeech pressure! Youre doing a great job! Reward yourself! And keep on calling/mailing! stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money www.congress.gov/members/find...

Keep calling your reps! Hold their feet to the fire! We don't want what the UK has with their "Online Safety Bill" chaos, and the Discord data breach only proved that not only is our free speech at stake, but our privacy too. These tips could help if your rep is a Replican or Democrat. #SaveSpeech

I hate to remind you guys but for EU bois, pls send email to your representatives. If you think you have nothing to hide, later you will have it. LGBT, abortion, critics, religion, etc.

Obwohl es seit Oktober einen neuen DSC-Beirat gibt – dem auch unsere Kolumnistin @sveawindwehr.bsky.social - wieder angehören darf, konnte er seine Arbeit noch nicht aufnehmen. Das ist ungünstig, denn es ist viel passiert. Zeit für ein Update und einen Appell fürs nächste Jahr.

#savespeech #stopKOSA #ProtectSection230 I'm going to be taking this week off. I have run myself ragged from July till now with no breaks. Had to take therapy for the first time when I almost went off the deep end. Keep calling. Keep fighting. Do not comply. I'll rejoin you up ahead.

"Australia’s ban is a mistake. It sacrifices liberty for a false sense of security, replaces parental oversight with government control, and ultimately leaves minors less prepared and makes everyone less safe in digital spaces." —@paultaske.bsky.social

Yesterday, NetChoice won a permanent block of Louisiana's age verification law. The Court ruled that the law, which conditioned Louisianans’ ability to access protected speech online on their willingness to hand over sensitive government ID, violates the First Amendment. buff.ly/MtZNKCU

Are you a security researcher or journalist? We want to hear from you — please take this survey! Dissent Doe at DataBreaches.net, and yours truly at this.weekinsecurity.com, are running this survey to explore the state of legal demands and criminal threats in cybersecurity.

Ugh, this again. Please tell your senators to grow some common sense and reject KOSA. With all the book bans and other censorship pushes going on right now, preserving access to potentially life-saving resources on the internet (not to mention preserving privacy!) is more important than ever.

I wrote to her office, even though she is not my senator. As a leftist in what is turning into a deep red state with two Republican senators who do not care about me at all, I saw @warren.senate.gov as a beacon of light, someone who is fighting for everyone who cannot. But now? I can’t say that

California’s legislature runs in a two-year cycle, meaning that it’s currently halftime for legislators. As we prepare for the next year of the California legislative session in January, it’s a good time to showcase what’s happened so far—and what’s left to do. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Auch 2025 bieten wieder Hackspaces und andere Orte die Möglichkeit, gemeinsam Vorträge zu streamen, zu hacken, Party zu machen und mehr. Der #39C3 ist überall, wo er gelebt wird: Congress Everywhere events.ccc.de/2025/12/20/3...

Warum brauchts Journalismus von Netzpolitik.org? Nur so erfährt die Öffentlichkeit von Datenleaks und problematischen Entwicklungen in Richtung Überwachungsstaat (Palantir, Chatkontrolle..). Digitale Zukunft geht nicht ohne unabhänge Medien, die sich auskennen! Also, wer kann: Jetzt spenden!

Für @netzpolitik.org habe ich recherchiert, was sich bei der Polizeirechts-Novelle in Sachsen tut. Ergebnis: Die SPD hat eine sehr kritische Stellungnahme zu dem Entwurf des Innenministeriums geschrieben und rückt darin von einigen Verschärfungen ab. (1/12) netzpolitik.org/2025/sachsen...

Es ist demokratiepolitisch äußerst bedenklich, dass sich die dt Regierung weigert, dem Parlament zu beantworten, ob (bzw falls ja, wie) Bundespolizei und BKA - ethisch problematisch bis unrechtmäßig - Verhaltensdaten aus der digitalen Werbung für (Massen)überwachungszwecke missbrauchen, oder nicht.

Rückblick: Warum die Datenschutzkonferenz Pläne zur DSGVO-Reform kritisiert, warum die Massen-Scans der #Chatkontrolle unverhältnismäßig sind und warum das medium magazin unsere Chefredaktion als „unverzichtbar“ ehrt. netzpolitik.org/2025/kw-51-d...

🇪🇺EU Commission seeks to extend #chatcontrol 1.0, despite admitting "insufficient data" to prove efficacy. Extending it validates a failed approach. We need targeted, judicial solutions, not the perpetual renewal of "exceptional" mass surveillance! […]

🇩🇪EU-Kommission will #Chatkontrolle 1.0 verlängern, obwohl sie Wirksamkeit nicht nachweisen kann. Wir brauchen gezielte richterliche Überwachung, keine ständige Verlängerung einer Massenüberwachung, die eigentlich eine Ausnahme bleiben sollte! […]

Verhaltensscanner, Gesichtserkennung, Filmen in Autos: Die geplante Novelle des Sächsischen Polizeigesetzes enthält viele Verschärfungen. Nach harscher Kritik aus der Zivilgesellschaft geht auch der Koalitionspartner SPD auf Distanz zu einigen Punkten des Entwurfs. netzpolitik.org/2025/sachsen...

This is the rub right here, any of the flaws or concerns around the modern US internet are not addressed by an S230 repeal. Just hurts you while Big Tech can weather the blow and change for a post-S230 environment

One reason I think this has chance higher than ever (and the other bills), is the pure ideological zealous will and increasing desperation to do it. They know each bill grants them control over information more than ever, and this regime is still trying to consolidate, needs things like this.

As with Kavanaugh stops, the Supreme Court utterly discounted the profound chilling effect of having to show papers, this time on the internet. For most users, it's not a minor inconvenience or speed bump, it's a deal-breaker.

A federal judge has blocked an age-verification mandate for social media in Louisiana, ruling that the same content can be accessed on unregulated sites, that it chills a huge amount of speech and that tools already exist for parents to block use. You know, the same arguments FSC made in Paxton.
