Iran is witnessing a second consecutive night of large-scale protests across major cities. The government has imposed an internet blackout and deployed extensive security forces, yet demonstrators are using satellite links, mesh networks and offline coordination to keep the movement alive. This highlights the growing importance of digital resilience in civic action. - Powered by FG #IranProtests #InternetBlackout #DigitalActivism #HumanRights

During a hacker conference in Hamburg, a hacker known as Martha Root—dressed as Pink Ranger—remotely deleted three white supremacist sites live on stage, leaving them offline. Root’s actions targeted WhiteDate, WhiteChild, and WhiteDeal—sites promoting racist dating, donor matching, and labor gigs—highlighting the ongoing fight against online hate. The sites' admins called the attack “cyberterrorism,” vowing repercussions. This bold act underscores the power of hacktivism to combat dangerous online platforms directly.

Update on the public information archival server:

I just added the most recent torrents from SciOp. The older torrents seem fairly dormant, I have not seen them seeding. That said, there are constantly folks downloading 24/7 from around the world!!

This is a screenshot of a computer desktop with a dark theme and magenta text.

The main window is the qBittorrent client, actively downloading dozens of large files at a combined speed of 35.3 MB/s. The files appear to be large archives, with names like "fema_gbsm_bust" and "2002".

A smaller window in the foreground shows the properties of a hard drive named "PublicInfoArchive (F:)". It reveals the drive has a massive 101 TB capacity and is almost full, with 99.6 TB used and only 2.17 TB of free space remaining. A pie chart visually confirms the drive's status. The scene suggests a very large data archival project is underway.

Apple removed the viral ICE Block app after government pressure, igniting debate over free speech, user safety, and corporate power. The app aimed to protect immigrants by sharing ICE agent locations, but its takedown highlights how tech and politics now collide in the fight over privacy and justice.

🆕 New on :

Digital activism has transformed how we mobilize, resist, and demand change. But beyond tactics lies the challenge of not replicating the harm we seek to change. Drawing on insights from Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Nonviolent Communication this article calls to rehumanize our digital interactions and reclaim empathy as a radical force for transformation.

Attention, attention! 😯

Here’s a new episode of the Redefining Society & Technology podcast!

"How to Hack Global Activism with Tech, Music, and Purpose

With Michael Sheldrick, Co-Founder of Global Citizen | Author of the #book: From Ideas to Impact."

Welcome back to my Musing on Society and Technology newsletter — where I drop new podcast episodes and explore what it means to be human in a hybrid analog-digital society.

This isn’t the place for hype or headline-chasing. It’s about asking better questions and figuring out how technology can serve humanity — not the other way around.

That said, I owe a quick apology to my guest Michael Sheldrick — we recorded this episode a while ago, but life, work, and about 437 browser tabs got in the way. Thank you for your patience, Michael. I hope this helps shine an even brighter spotlight on the incredible work you and the Global Citizen team are doing.

And yes — I’m honored to do the little I can to help promote it. Because this matters.

Global Citizen is proof that you can mix pop culture, #tech, and purpose to drive real change. $40 billion unlocked. A billion lives impacted. All through a movement powered by #music, #activism, and one simple idea:

"Anyone can make a difference — you just have to start."

Michael and I talk about:

The power of #socialmedia and gamified activism

Getting John Legend and Coldplay on board

Using tech tools like #Salesforce, #AI, and translation platforms

Why young people aren’t waiting — and politicians better pay attention

And yes, there’s a bonus chapter coming soon from his book — The #Innovator. You already know I invited him back for that.

Thanks for tuning in.

A fresh (via donations) 14TB HDD for the antifa torrent server just landed, and is being surface scanned.

This image shows a close-up of a Western Digital 14TB hard drive inserted into a black Orico hard drive docking station. The hard drive is silver with a white label prominently displaying "Western Digital," "14TB," and "DC HC530 SATA 6GB/s." Other details like the serial number, model number, and manufacturing information (Made in Thailand) are also visible on the label.

The Orico docking station is black and has a blue LED light illuminated, indicating it's powered on. Several cables are plugged into the back of the docking station, though their specific connections aren't fully clear. The entire setup is resting on a light-colored wooden surface, possibly a desk or table, with some other dark electronic items or cables out of focus in the background. The lighting suggests an indoor setting.

Thanks to additional donations, a 6th 14TB HDD has been ordered for the antifa torrent server. Thank you all immensely!
