This is a good post on the impact of surveillance in Iran:https://t.co/1kT3SrsCyOIt's worth reading.IMO one mistake that freedom advocates often make is that we talk about privacy violation and surveillance as "dystopian", using the word as a semantic stop sign: we know it means "bad", we nod along, and don't really go further to clarify why it's bad. I worry that this approach is long-run unhealthy: when we criticize various companies and countries for being "dystopian" and stop there, then to someone who' ...

RT Mullvad.net (@mullvadnet)The UK has announced plans to fast-track legislation requiring “age verification for VPN use”. The correct term, however, is not age verification but identity verification.A law like this would require everyone to identify themselves in order to use a VPN. This would pose a risk to whistleblowers, violate human rights, and represent yet another step toward an authoritarian society. ...

I walk into a classroom that 16 children were staring at me. 10 girls, eight boys, age from seven to 16. My hands were shaking. My voice were trembling. And I'm not one of the students. I was a teacher. I had 12 years old. Earlier that day, I asked my father how I can teach them. I'm just a student myself going to school with a fake ID. My father told me I cannot make a fake ID for everyone to get education. This children living in a darkness. Education is light. Be their light. He looked at me again and sa ...

MSNBC· 2026-02-16 03:08
It will be impossible to forget the story of Liam Ramos, the five-year-old boy with the bunny hat, detained in Minneapolis and taken to Dilley Detention Center in South Texas. And part of what disturbs so many Americans about his story is the understanding that behind his case, this is really just the tip of the iceberg. The number of kids in ICE detention has increased six-fold since the start of the second Trump administration, and multiple reports reveal hundreds of children are being held at Dilly alone ...
