Once again, like “stopping terrorists” or “protecting children,” this is another attack on the American people in the name of “security.” When will we stop accepting “security” as an excuse?
They are only banning “consumer routers.” I wonder how they differentiate. Is Ubiquiti
A VPN ban doesn’t mean that they’re going to lock up every single person who uses a VPN or watches porn.
Your government’s strategy is to make “crimes” like this as common and easy to commit as possible.
This way, if you ever do something completely legal which they *actually* don’t like, *which can be completely unrelated to VPNs or bypassing age verification,* they can pull up your internet history and easily prosecute you.
Organize a legitimate protest, and the government’s swift response will be to label you a child sex offender because they found you using evil VPN technology.
This is how free speech dies, not from a law that says “free speech is dead now,” but from draconian, authoritarian laws like this that give the government “plausible” reasons to go after anyone, which can’t easily be fought against.
💯 this, and I’m once again begging libertarian-type tech people to understand that a “VPN ban” or Chat Control doesn’t mean they’re going to prevent you specifically from using a VPN or an encrypted messenger.
It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use that fact itself
First up! Our top tip for everyone starting to care about being tracked online is to install a content blocking extension in their browser, and the best choice is uBlock Origin.
Advertisements aren’t just annoying, they are one of the most prevalent attack vectors on the internet. Minimizing the amount of content you are downloading and running makes you much safer, and it speeds up your browsing at the same time! 😄
If Section 230 is repealed like the Democrats and Republicans in D.C. want, we would basically get this, but on every social media site, and none of them would be allowed to fix it.
If you’re thinking that surely your representatives or your “side” are fighting for your rights here, you're probably wrong!
KOSA, the App Store Accountability Act, the SCREEN Act, and the efforts to repeal Section 230 are bipartisan efforts to undermine our civil liberties on a massive scale.
Don't let politicians, social media, and the mainstream media fool you: Your voice can make a difference, and has already stopped KOSA and similar bills from being passed for many years now.
They are counting on you giving up, don't give in!
Last week in the United States of America, Congress began fast-tracking nearly 20 bills in a massive effort to enact massive censorship on the internet, decimate your ability to use computers privately, and severely restrict free speech online.
The Internet enables a global exchange of information, opinions and ideas. Let’s keep it that way and ensure that the USA remains a haven for a free Internet. 🗽
Call your representatives, take action and sign the petition to stop Bad Internet Bills from killing the Internet. 🚨

Congress wants to hand the government massive censorship powers, and pretend they’re standing up to Big Tech while consolidating even more power among existing tech corporations.
Online ID checks through KOSA and the SCREEN Act will enable a nanny state and eliminate parental
Your coworkers have openly protected and hidden child abusers for DECADES
& you think forcing kids to clearly identify themselves as children on the internet will PROTECT them??????

Section 230 is a critical law protecting free speech on the internet as we know it, by preventing courts from misinterpreting the Constitution as they are wont to do these days.
Free speech is your 1st Amendment right as an American, but Democrats and Republicans alike are giddy at the idea of eroding it and shutting people up whenever and wherever they can.
Politicians attacking our Constitutional rights is a danger for all internet users, for small business and Internet Service Providers like ourselves, and to democracy at large.
This is a RED ALERT to contact your Congresspeople and demand they don’t cave to this government’s pro-censorship agenda: whatissection230.org

Our latest generation of Tor routers is online again, with 284 relays in the family and counting! + Our WebTunnel bridges are online again. Bandwidth tests are ramping up, so I hope to see increased usage soon 😎
Kansas City has now become our third PoP in the United States, with connectivity to KCIX, MICE, SIX, and many other North American networks 😎
From this location we will run many of our current public networking projects with increased bandwidth and redundancy.
We've finished setting up our new PoP in Kansas City! ⚡️
Our plan is to host many of our high-bandwidth services that don't require power or network redundancy there. Our new deployment contains Tor relays operating on our GreenWare hardware, and our NoiseNet network!
