You know you're living in a healthy democracy when everyone has to pay for a VPN to stop the state from spying on them.

So it seems that adults will need to verify their age with digital ID, face scan or similar methods to be allowed to use social media in Britain It's clear that this is not about protecting children They are introducing totalitarian control systems and many don't even realize

Starmer: We want to digitally ID everyone who uses social media Brits: Absolutely Not! Starmer: OK then, we want to ban under 16s from social media (by digitally ID-ing everyone) Brits: OMG that’s a great idea. Idk what idiot would be against that 🥴

People *need* to understand this: the under-16 bans hit adults too. Whether you’re 15 or 55, your ability to speak freely and anonymously online is at risk. This. Isn’t. Just. About. Teens.

The UK is pushing controversial digital protection laws to take the heat off the two tier system and the protests going on in the country. Starmer is a disgrace.

Under the pretext of banning under-16s from social media to “protect the children,” Keir Starmer has snuck in some small print that should make Americans really glad that all the tea was dumped into the Boston harbour back in 1773. Adults will still be “allowed” to use the platforms… once they’ve handed over facial recognition, digital ID, passport, or credit card details to prove they’re not a child. So it was never really about the kids. It was about making sure every single person who wants to speak online has to first tell the government exactly who they are. Step 1: Link your real identity to your speech Step 2: police have a lovely searchable database of every spicy take, meme, or complaint you’ve ever posted Step 3: bring in the consequences - arrests, travel ban, debunking, for out-of-bounds speech The UK is in a free fall.

Ça y est, je vois tous les politiques sur les réseaux parler du blocage des modèles d’IA d’Anthropic. Mais purée, le sujet n’est pas nouveau !!!!!! C’était sûr, c’était écrit !!!! Et certains s’étonnent encore en nous disant : « Ah ben il va falloir réfléchir à ce qu’on va faire. » Non, il faut agir. J’écrivais déjà ça dans mon livre en avril ⬇️ Quand on décide de se reposer sur les autres, on accepte aussi leurs règles. Et oui. À croire que l’électrochoc du réveil est étonnant, je sens, pour certains.

« Et si les US décidaient de nous couper l’accès ? » « Mais non, ce sont nos alliés t’abuse.» Et pourtant, ça vient d’arriver et c’est grave. Cette nuit, les États-Unis, et plus précisément le département du Commerce de l’administration Trump, ont décidé de couper l’accès aux derniers modèles Fable 5 et Mythos 5 à toutes les entreprises et personnes non américaines (y compris en interne chez Anthropic). Ce que nous sommes en train de vivre, c’est le premier bannissement mondial d’un modèle d’IA sur la base de la nationalité. C’est la première fois qu’on traite un modèle d’IA comme une technologie militaire ou nucléaire. Ça avait commencé avec le hardware et les GPU. La suite logique était donc le software et les modèles. Bientôt les applications elles-mêmes ? C’est un rappel puissant que l’IA est politique. Que l’IA est un enjeu de souveraineté. Et qu’en Europe, nous n’avons vraiment plus le temps. Tous les particuliers et toutes les entreprises européennes qui construisent sur ces modèles risquent désormais de tout voir disparaître en un claquement de doigts. Je pense que le gouvernement a eu peur des jailbreaks et que, comme ils utilisent Mythos pour de l’offensif, ils craignent que d’autres pays y parviennent aussi. Mais c’est peut-être également la communication agressive autour de la supposée dangerosité du modèle qui revient aujourd’hui comme un boomerang au visage d’Anthropic. Et c’est assez fou de voir le contraste avec la Chine, qui publie en grande partie presque tous ses modèles d’IA en open source et en libre accès. Plus que jamais, l’IA locale et open source doit devenir une voie par défaut, ou au moins une voie privilégiée. Quoi qu’il en soit, le monde s’est réveillé aujourd’hui avec le premier bannissement mondial fondé sur la nationalité d’un modèle d’IA, et cela doit nous réveiller. Tic-tac. ⏰

イギリス、もはや北朝鮮じゃねえか

The UK government spyware demand means that the government decides exactly what should be censored on every mobile device. They say they will start with nude pictures (if you don’t identify yourself as an adult). But it could at any time be expanded to anything the government disapproves of. Today, 30 people are arrested every day in the United Kingdom for writing something online that the government classifies as "grossly offensive". It is obvious that they will use this tool to restrict free speech. Currently, there appears to be no requirement to report findings outside the device. However, with both legal and technological decision-making power taken away from individuals and transferred to the government, that is only a pen stroke away. This means that the government could also use this system for total mass surveillance. And they can do so in secret. The government recently, in secret, tried to pressure Apple (which is now agreeing to client-side scanning) to build backdoors into its end-to-end encrypted cloud service. They can do this under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, also known as the "Snoopers' Charter" – a law that makes it illegal for tech companies to disclose secret demands from the government.

Signal is 100% right. The greatest trick governments ever pulled was convincing people that freedom and privacy are obstacles to safety. What we are witnessing is not child protection. It is the construction of a surveillance architecture that will eventually monitor, profile, categorize and control every aspect of our digital lives. Today it is age verification and content scanning, tomorrow it is digital identity, then financial monitoring, then behavioural scoring, then access to services conditioned on compliance. The destination is not difficult to see. It is a technocratic system where every interaction is tracked, every transaction recorded, every opinion assessed and every citizen reduced to a data profile managed by governments and corporations working hand in hand. A form of digital neo feudalism where a small unelected class controls the platforms, the infrastructure, the money and ultimately the boundaries of acceptable behaviour. The argument that only criminals should fear surveillance is as absurd as saying only criminals need freedom of speech. Privacy is not evidence of wrongdoing, it is the foundation of human dignity, individual sovereignty and genuine liberty. The UK government is asking citizens to accept the presumption of guilt simply to communicate online. To prove who they are, verify their age and allow their devices to inspect their content before they can participate in modern society. History teaches us that every power granted to the state eventually expands beyond its initial mandate. The technology introduced to detect one form of content today will be used to police entirely different forms of expression tomorrow. The choice before us is not between privacy and child protection, it is between preserving a free society, or constructing the infrastructure of a digital prison that will further enslave us.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means. There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of. When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime). The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion. Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies. Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly. The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject. The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices. @GrapheneOS on the Apple and Google duopoly: x.com/GrapheneOS/status/2053… Statement from @signalapp x.com/signalapp/status/20640… @ReclaimTheNetHQ on the state spyware: reclaimthenet.org/starmer-ca… The government announcement: gov.uk/government/news/new-p…

Keir Starmer est un TECHNO FASCISTE ! CE MONSIEUR EST FOU ET DANGEREUX POUR LES LIBERTÉS NUMÉRIQUES INDIVIDUELLES ! Il veut installer des logiciels espions sur tous les téléphones au Royaume-Uni sous couvert de lutte contre la pédo-p0rnographie et le Child S*xual Abuse Material (CSAM) ! Le mec intime aux sociétés Tech d'espionner et contrôler, sous peine de lourdes amendes, tous les téléphones -osons les mots avant les maux- pour ainsi protéger les enfants. Quelqu'un lui a dit que c'était impossible à ce fou furieux ???? Pinaise le pire... il va (re)donner des idées à d'autres. La Chine et la Corée du Nord doivent bien se gausser actuellement 😬🙆🏾‍♂️🤡

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026-06…

@kierstarmer, Can you please explain to me why you have ignored my emails to talk about my daughter Rhiannons murder,by an ILLEGAL, But now meeting Henry Nowaks family following his tragic death? Both white British people, oh I know your corrupt police assisted his death!

You called for riots in all 50 states in my country after George Floyd died. Dozens of people died in those far-left riots you encouraged.

We really have reached Soviet levels of gaslighting. A man is murdered, and somehow, the real problem is that people are angry about it. Children are gang raped, and somehow the real problem is that people keep mentioning it and “dividing communities.” This is moral inversion. No. Crime divides communities. Institutional failure divides communities. Cover-ups, euphemisms, cowardice, and elite contempt divide communities.

The Prime Minister says “lessons must be learned” over the death of Henry Nowak. He then goes on to say “there is no two-tier policing” despite being read a line by Nigel Farage, from the Police racism guidelines, which instructs officers to police unequally. They don’t want to change anything. Let’s be clear. When George Floyd died, they demanded change to policing in Britain. They got it. The change they got was to make the laws that saw Henry die without a shred of dignity. You cannot hate this government enough.

MPs are more angry with Nigel Farage than they are with the way that Henry died 🙄 #pmqs

This is going to be a great White Boy Summer
