- 🚨 BREAKING: Chat Control BLOCKED in EU! 🎉 Germany just refused to back the EU's mass surveillance "Chat Control" regulation after public pressure! This blocks the required majority in the EU Council and derails next week's planned vote. NICE JOB EVERYONE! 💪
- 🚨 Google is tightening the screws on Android freedom! Starting next year, they're blocking sideloading of "unverified" apps which requires all developers to identify themselves to Google. Goal is global 2027 rollout. This is a blow to Android's open ecosystem and user choice 🧵
- UK's age verification law is working exactly as critics predicted: a complete disaster. Compliant sites lost 90% of users. Non-compliant sketchy sites saw traffic DOUBLE. On the bright side: Kids are now being taught to use Tor browser. Congratulations, you played yourselves🧵
- The UK is hellbent on removing anonymity on the internet. Keep fighting!UK users must verify their age to access Steam store pages for mature content games
- Human rights are not possible without privacy tools, pass it on.🇮🇩 Protests are raging across Indonesia. Access to information on social media is being disrupted, in a likely attempt to stop the flow of media being shared about these protests. Proton is the most reliable free VPN, therefore our Indonesian sign-ups have spiked by 3,000%.
- Signal is threatening to leave Sweden over a bill demanding a backdoor. Meredith & Signal are staying strong. swedenherald.com/article/signal…
- It's time we fight to keep Android open. Join the fight: keepandroidopen.org
- Replying to @TechloreIncWhat does this mean for users with devices that have Google Play Services? - F-Droid apps could be harder to install - Custom APKs might be blocked - Google gets even more control over what you can run on YOUR device Android is looking more like iOS every day...
- Good job 🇩🇪 You guys rock
- Pay. Attention.Replying to @echo_pbreyer🇪🇺Today, EU gov'ts rejected changes to mandatory backdoor #ChatControl & anonymity-destroying age checks. EU ambassadors are set to approve this soon. ℹ️patrick-breyer.de/en/posts/chat-… 📢Our protest isn't loud enough yet. Help change that: fightchatcontrol.eu
- Replying to @TechloreIncDr. Patrick Breyer: "This is a tremendous victory for freedom and proves that protest works! Without tireless resistance from citizens, scientists, and organizations, EU governments would have passed a totalitarian mass surveillance law next week."
- New Telegram vulnerability, EvilLoader, discovered. Here's what you need to know🧵
