Carole Cadwalladr's TED Talk on the digital coup is a must-watch! But let's talk about the elephant in the room: her use of Bluesky and Substack. While her message is powerful, her choice of platforms sends a mixed signal. We need to support open-source alternatives like Ghost and Mastodon to truly resist the digital coup.

We came upon this nice blog of @_elena

The world doesn't need yet another "hacker".

It needs direction, and resistance against surveillance.
If you hear the signal, you are listening well.
When you hear just noise, this is not for you.
DeadSwitch is chosen, not forced.

Algorithms are censoring words, so humans are inventing new ones.

"Unalive" for suicide. "Grape" for rape. "Y-T" for white.

This linguistic evolution is happening at unprecedented speed as communities resist AI suppression.

The loss of privacy is destroying our society.
-------------------------------------
The recapture of privacy

In his #social contract, Kant divides reason into private and public reason. Private reason is the kind of reason we can use in our “official capacity,” i.e., a reason that is subject to severe restrictions and whose observance is necessary for smooth functioning. Public reason, on the other hand, is that of the “scholar.” According to #Kant, this should be free and allowed to question and express everything.

In addition to reason in public, there is also an area of absolute privacy. This is the realm of family, friends, or one's own self. In ancient times, this was called the oikos, the household. As long as this area does not touch the public sphere, i.e., does not break any generally applicable laws, everything is permitted there and is negotiated within the oikos itself. It is not without reason that #sexuality and other things that would cause “public nuisance” are located there.

But what happens in a digital society where these centuries-old boundaries between these areas have dissolved practically overnight? This dissolution is happening, on the one hand, through permanent self-publication in real time on so-called “social media.” And on the other hand, and much more seriously, through the technically feasible and actually occurring #total surveillance and recording of all events taking place in the digital space.

Since we live in a completely digitalized world, all areas of life are also reflected there. It does not matter whether it is the private sphere of the oikos or the public consideration of a social problem. If everything becomes public and, as everyone knows today, permanently recorded, this means the complete abolition of privacy, of the private sphere, of the oikos.

This is disastrous. While public and private reason must simply be renegotiated, as it has always been, the loss of privacy is a turning point in #human history and was previously considered an instrument of torture in penitentiaries and prisons.
However, privacy and #privacy are inextricably linked to social and individual freedom and a dignified life in general. The reconquest of privacy is therefore the decisive battle at the beginning of an all-encompassing digitalization that leaves no room for analog space.

But how can this be achieved? In the field of software security, there is the concept of militarized and demilitarized zones. It is assumed that every device and every program connected to the global network is (or can be) attacked, read, compromised, and manipulated at any time. Everything that happens on the internet, in digital space, therefore takes place in the militarized zone and is, by definition, subject to constant attack.
The answer to how #privacy can also be established in digital space logically comes from the military tradition. It is cryptography.

Since the beginning of military conflicts, #humanity has tried to alter important messages in such a way that the enemy cannot evaluate them.
Since everything on the internet can potentially be controlled by the “enemy” (in this case, the enemy of privacy), it is therefore urgently necessary that everything that is private, no matter how uninteresting or insignificant, must be encrypted and cryptographed. The creation of a fully comprehensive #cryptography for the private sphere is thus one of the most important tasks facing humanity in the new era.

In addition to the challenge of making people aware of this and implementing it, one of the greatest difficulties is that cryptographic tools are needed for encryption and decryption. These cannot be in the hands of individuals or groups, but must be free and available as open source. The cryptographic tool itself must therefore not contain any secrets. The secret to encryption, the #key, must be in the hands of the individual, just like a key that locks the door to one's home before one indulges in private pursuits.

Der Verlust der Privatheit zerstört unsere Gesellschaft.
-------------------------------------
Die Rückeroberung der Privatheit

Kant sieht in seinem #Gesellschaftsvertrag die Vernunft in eine private und eine öffentliche Vernunft geteilt. Private Vernunft ist dabei die Art von Vernunft, die wir im “Amte” anwenden können, also eine Vernunft, die starken Einschränkungen unterliegt und deren Einhaltung für das reibungslose Gelingen notwendig ist. Die öffentliche Vernunft ist dagegen die des “Gelehrten”. Diese sollte, nach #Kant, frei sein und alles hinterfragen und aussprechen dürfen.

Neben der Vernunft in der Öffentlichkeit gibt es noch einen Bereich der absoluten Privatheit. Also den Bereich der Familie, der Freunde oder des eigenen Ichs. In der Antike nannte man das Oikos, der Hausverband. Solang dieser Bereich nicht die Öffentlichkeit berührt, also z.B. keine allgemeingültigen Gesetze bricht, ist dort alles erlaubt und wird im Oikos selbst verhandelt. Nicht umsonst sind dort #Sexualität und andere Dinge, die “öffentliches Ärgernis” erregen würden, angesiedelt.

Doch was passiert in einer digitalen Gesellschaft, in der sich diese Jahrhunderte alten Grenzen zwischen diesen Bereichen praktisch über Nacht aufgelöst haben? Diese Auflösung geschieht zum einen durch eine permanente Selbst-Publizierung in Echtzeit in den sogenannten “Sozialen Medien.” Und zum anderen, und wesentlich gravierender, durch die technisch machbare und real stattfindende #Totalüberwachung und Aufzeichnung aller sich im digitalen Raum vollziehenden Ereignisse.

Da wir uns in einer vollkommen digitalisierten Welt befinden, finden auch alle Bereiche des Lebens dort eine Abbildung. Es spielt dabei keine Rolle, ob es sich um den privaten Bereich des Oikos oder um die öffentliche Betrachtung eines gesellschaftlichen Problems handelt. Wird also alles öffentlich und, wie heute jeder weiß(5), permanent aufgezeichnet, so bedeutet dies die völlige Abschaffung der Privatsphäre, des privaten Bereichs, des Oikos.

Das ist fatal. Während die öffentliche und private Vernunft, lediglich und wie zu allen Zeiten, neu verhandelt werden muss, ist der Wegfall der Privatheit eine Zäsur in der #Menschheitsgeschichte und galt bis dahin als ein Folterinstrument des Panoptikum in Strafanstalten und Gefängnissen.

Privatheit und #Privatsphäre sind aber untrennbar mit gesellschaftlicher und individueller Freiheit sowie einem menschenwürdigem Leben im Allgemeinen verbunden. Die Rückeroberung der Privatheit ist somit der entscheidende Kampf am Beginn einer allumfassenden Digitalisierung, die keinen analogen Raum mehr lässt.

Doch wie kann dies geschehen? Im Bereich der Softwaresicherheit gibt es das Konzept des militarisierten und demilitarisierten Bereichs. Man geht davon aus, dass jedes Gerät und jedes Programm, welches mit dem weltweiten Netz verknüpft ist, immer angegriffen, ausgelesen, kompromittiert und manipuliert wird (oder werden kann). Alles, was im Internet, im digitalen Raum geschieht, findet also in der militarisierten Zone statt und ist laut Definition permanenten Angriffen ausgesetzt.

Die Antwort, wie man also #Privatheit auch im digitalen Raum herstellen kann, kommt folgerichtig aus der Militärtradition. Es ist die Kryptografie.
Seit dem Beginn militärischer Auseinandersetzungen hat die #Menschheit versucht, wichtige Nachrichten so zu verändern, dass der Feind sie nicht auswerten kann.

Da im Internet potenziell alles vom “Feind” (in diesem Fall vom Feind der Privatheit) beherrscht sein kann, ist es also dringend notwendig, dass alles, was privat ist, und sei es noch so uninteressant und belanglos, verschlüsselt und kryptografiert sein muss. Die Herstellung einer voll umfassenden #Kryptografie des privaten Bereichs ist damit eine der wichtigsten Aufgaben der Menschheit in der neuen Epoche.

Neben der Herausforderung dies den Menschen bewusst zu machen und umzusetzen, besteht eine der größten Schwierigkeiten darin, dass zur Ver- und Entschlüsselung kryptografische Werkzeuge benötigt werden. Diese können nicht in der Hand Einzelner oder Gruppen liegen, sondern müssen frei sein und als offene Quelle vorliegen. Das kryptografische Werkzeug an sich darf also selbst keine Geheimnisse beinhalten. Das Geheimnis zur Verschlüsselung, der #Schlüssel muss in der Hand des einzelnen Individuums liegen, genau wie ein Schlüssel, mit dem man seine Wohnungstür verschließt, bevor man privaten Vorlieben nachgeht.

Modern Trump’s Gestapo is getting new tools.
Cops now use AI personas to spy on protesters (link below)
Be careful in DMs, especially with people you don’t know.
One trick (for now): ask them to describe an image with visual illusions. AI still sucks at that. But I assume not for long.

Hi, I’m new here on raphus.social and Mastodon in general—still getting my bearings, but ready to raise some hell. I’m diving headfirst into Linux, privacy, open source, and learning how to code so I can fight back with tech. DeGoogling my life one step at a time.

I may be 5'4", but every inch of me is furious about the direction the US is heading. I refuse to sit back and watch The Handmaid’s Tale become a documentary. I’m here to connect with others who believe in digital resistance, community defense, and building something better.
