One of the many reasons to be against #ageverification software
It gives the wrong people & companies tons of data, often #biometric ones
Therefore we transfers #power exactly the wrong people & #corporations
And as we can know latest since #Edwardsnowden companies do share data with governments
The cornerstone of the #chinese #surveillance #state is #realnameregistration
Don't give #biometrics to #evilcorp, especially not for cheap thrills
Do not hand data to #fascists
Warum wurde #Edward #Snowden eigentlich nie gebührend geehrt, z.B. mit einem #Nobelpreis? Er hat in Rekordzeit die Welt zum besseren verändert, und das nicht nur uneigennützig, sondern mit einem hohen persönlichen Preis.

This is really not good.
People please if you can help it at all, do not upload your ID to verify yourself to services.

Senator, who has repeatedly warned about secret US #GovernmentSurveillance, sounds new alarm over ‘#CIA activities’
by Zack Whittaker, February 6, 2026
Excerpt: "In 2011, #RonWyden said that the U.S. government was relying on a secret interpretation of the #PatriotAct, which he said — without disclosing the nature of his concerns — created a 'gap between what the public thinks the law says and what the American government secretly thinks the law says.'
"Two years later, then-#NSA contractor #EdwardSnowden revealed that the National Security Agency was relying on its secret interpretation of the Patriot Act to force U.S. phone companies, including Verizon, to turn over the call records of hundreds of millions of Americans on an ongoing basis.
"Since then, Wyden has sounded the alarm on how the U.S. government collects the contents of people’s communications; revealed that the Justice Department barred Apple and Google from disclosing that federal authorities had been secretly demanding the contents of their customers’ push notifications; and said that an unclassified report that #CISA has refused to release contains 'shocking details' about national security threats facing U.S. phone companies.
"As noted by Techdirt’s Mike Masnick, we may not know yet why Wyden sounded the siren about the CIA’s activities, but every time Wyden has warned, he has also been vindicated."

The Snowden Leaks and New Zealand Military and Intelligence Officials
In 2013, the year when the Edward Snowden intelligence leaks hit the news, the Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) annual report stated that the New Zealand spy agency’s mission was “to inform and enhance the decision-making processes” of ...Surveillance: The Trump Administration's Silence on FISA Reform
The US Congress faces a deadline: in two months, the legal basis for mass foreign espionage expires. Lawmakers are debating reforms.

More Software Alternatives
Earlier this week, I posted an article about European alternatives to software and services we normally use. Not all options on the list are true alternatives, however.https://medi-nerd.com/2026/01/29/more-software-alternatives/
„Saying you don't need privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don't need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.“ #EdwardSnowden #noPalantir 🖖
People should have pressured our elected politicians to go against mass surveillance of Americans. Man, fucking Americans love mass surveillance. This is what Americans deserve for not fighting against the Patriot Act after 9/11.
Als hätte „Minority Report“ in deutschen Amtsstuben das Denken ersetzt. Der Dokumentarfilm von Klaus Stern stellt den Menschen vor, der diese Vision verkauft – und mit ihr eine technoide Version der Totalüberwachung salonfähig macht. Dass der Film dabei selbst ein Teil dieser Normalisierung wird, ist die bittere Pointe. Er zeigt, was er nicht kritisiert. Das ist sein größtes Problem. (ARD, Neu)

Maduro fichó al abogado de Edward Snowden para su defensa en Nueva York
Apropos Edward Snowden: Was ist zu ihm heute bekannt? In Russland zu leben (heute wie auch schon vorher), kann ich mir nicht gerade einfach vorstellen.
@sarah I've gotten about a dozen people on fedi to try out simplex just by explaining the merits, a handful still talk to me there. IRL my contacts understand the importance of privacy from their government, they know about Edward Snowden and PRISM and Tempora and especially COINTELPRO
If you just wanna try it out again and see how its improved in the past couple years I do have something I want to talk to you about veganism

Die Zeiten der #Unabhängigkeit des #Justizministeriums und der #Ermittlungsbehörden sind wohl offensichtlich vorbei. Nur noch #Korruption, wohin das Auge blickt.

I think people often confuse secrecy and privacy.
Secrecy is intentional concealment.
Privacy is the right to set boundaries on what is public.
"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." -Edward Snowden
