@teyrnon I'm sorry if you misunderstood, but I have no opinion about you and I'm not passing judgment. The "usual tecnolibertarians" are those at Mirage, a stillborn project. The latest in a series of projects based on so-called "free speech," which in reality is just the revenge of the most frustrated and manipulated classes.

@teyrnon oh, how boring... The usual techno-libertarians who think Reddit is a den of tankies and think they can solve the world's problems with blockchain (but who view democracy with suspicion).
The fediverse is already capable of managing federated forums: Lemmy, Piefed, NodeBB, Mbin, Friendica...

"Today, with the expiration of the ePrivacy exemption that allowed the use of technology to detect child sexual abuse, Europe risks leaving children around the world less protected from the most abhorrent forms of abuse."

EU official should not get top privacy job, says think tank

The letter – signed by a list of privacy professors – stresses that if the role is awarded to long-time EU official Bruno Gencarelli, the EDPS' legitimacy is at stake and poses a risk of conflict. Early last year, the EDPS ruled for example that the Commission’s use of Microsoft 365 was not legitimate.

Google pulls Binance, other global crypto apps from India store

FIU, an Indian government agency that scrutinizes financial transactions, late last month issued show cause notices to nine crypto firms and alleged that they weren’t compliant with India’s anti-money laundering rules. Apple pulled the apps earlier this week and various telecom networks and internet service providers began blocking the URLs of the crypto exchange websites Thursday evening.
