Age verification is the Trojan horse for complete control of the internet. Imagine you'd have to register your identity to read a newspaper. That's what this is about. They say it's for the children, but it really is about taking away your right to use the web anonymously.

Mask off moment. This was always the plan. Resist or we lose the free internet.

Patent for Flock Cameras, they're not only tracking license plates. U.S. patent 11,416,545 B1 Patented Aug 16, 2022 By Garret Langley and Matt Fuery of FLOCK Safety, based in Atlanta GA (next tweet) According to Figure 5A, it can detect pedestrians and bicyclists down to clothing, height/weight and color of clothing. The system also has an auto-alert when it "detects a target" with high confidence. Along with the most seen and known FLOCK Camera "Falcon", they now have a family of cameras called "Condor, Raven," an aerial surveillance drone "AreoDome" and its linked to a system called "Wing" #Throwback Here's the web page with 29 pages of the patent. ppubs.uspto.gov/api/pdf/down…

A Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is the third leg in the surveillance state stool. It must be permanently banned!

A vehicle Kill Switch is a complete betrayal of liberty. It can never be accepted. Congress must Kill the Kill Switch before it goes into effect in 2027.

Build a server, own your own data.

Want to buy a truck? DENIED. Want to buy a gun? DENIED. Want to protest the government? ACCOUNT FROZEN. This is the future under a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)—total government control over your money, your spending, and your life. Ban CBDC. FOREVER!

Monero is the only major crypto whose founder is still completely unknown. How it started: - be an anonymous poster on Bitcointalk - username: thankful_for_today - April 2014 - launches BitMonero - an implementation of CryptoNote - community disagrees with his direction - forks him out in days - project is renamed Monero - (“coin” in Esperanto) - founder disappears forever The protocol itself comes from another ghost: - CryptoNote whitepaper (2013) - author: Nicolas van Saberhagen - also anonymous - introduces ring signatures stealth addresses - never identified Since then, Monero has no founder to arrest Just a community. 2014–2016: survival phase - small dev group forms - fully volunteer - mostly anonymous 2014–2019: Spagni era - Riccardo Spagni (fluffypony) becomes lead maintainer - not the founder - never claimed to be - focuses on hardening - community governance 2020: network-layer privacy - Dandelion implemented - transaction propagation obfuscated - IP privacy improved 2022: the unpopular but correct decision - main emission ends - tail emission begins - 0.6 XMR per block forever - critics scream “infinite supply” - devs explain incentives 2023–2024: pressure phase - regulators target privacy tools - Tornado Cash sanctions - dev arrests elsewhere - P2P survives 2025: stress tests - hashrate concentration scare - community responds - mining decentralization improves - chain continues January 2026: still alive - Fluorine Fermi v0.18.4.5 released - Ledger fixes - FCMP in roadmap - next-gen privacy - New ATH Satoshi disappeared by accident. Monero’s founders disappeared by design.

The Crypto Anarchist Manifesto By Timothy C. May A specter is haunting the modern world, the specter of crypto anarchy. Computer technology is on the verge of providing the ability for individuals and groups to communicate and interact with each other in a totally anonymous manner. Two persons may exchange messages, conduct business, and negotiate electronic contracts without ever knowing the True Name, or legal identity, of the other. Interactions over networks will be untraceable, via extensive re-routing of encrypted packets and tamper-proof boxes which implement cryptographic protocols with nearly perfect assurance against any tampering. Reputations will be of central importance, far more important in dealings than even the credit ratings of today. These developments will alter completely the nature of government regulation, the ability to tax and control economic interactions, the ability to keep information secret, and will even alter the nature of trust and reputation. The technology for this revolution--and it surely will be both a social and economic revolution--has existed in theory for the past decade. The methods are based upon public-key encryption, zero-knowledge interactive proof systems, and various software protocols for interaction, authentication, and verification. The focus has until now been on academic conferences in Europe and the U.S., conferences monitored closely by the National Security Agency. But only recently have computer networks and personal computers attained sufficient speed to make the ideas practically realizable. And the next ten years will bring enough additional speed to make the ideas economically feasible and essentially unstoppable. High-speed networks, ISDN, tamper-proof boxes, smart cards, satellites, Ku-band transmitters, multi-MIPS personal computers, and encryption chips now under development will be some of the enabling technologies. The State will of course try to slow or halt the spread of this technology, citing national security concerns, use of the technology by drug dealers and tax evaders, and fears of societal disintegration. Many of these concerns will be valid; crypto anarchy will allow national secrets to be trade freely and will allow illicit and stolen materials to be traded. An anonymous computerized market will even make possible abhorrent markets for assassinations and extortion. Various criminal and foreign elements will be active users of CryptoNet. But this will not halt the spread of crypto anarchy. Just as the technology of printing altered and reduced the power of medieval guilds and the social power structure, so too will cryptologic methods fundamentally alter the nature of corporations and of government interference in economic transactions. Combined with emerging information markets, crypto anarchy will create a liquid market for any and all material which can be put into words and pictures. And just as a seemingly minor invention like barbed wire made possible the fencing-off of vast ranches and farms, thus altering forever the concepts of land and property rights in the frontier West, so too will the seemingly minor discovery out of an arcane branch of mathematics come to be the wire clippers which dismantle the barbed wire around intellectual property. Arise, you have nothing to lose but your barbed wire fences!

The largest open library in human history, Anna's Archive, has been ordered to pay Spotify and the three largest record labels on the world $322 million. The defendant has not appeared in court and is not going to. The site is still up with two backup domains standing by and there's nothing the censors can do. Anna's Archive currently holds 63 million books, 95 million academic papers, and 1.1 petabytes of mirrored torrents. It is free. It is searchable. It is run by a pseudonymous person nobody has identified after four long years of searching. In the four months since the music industry filed the first of three coordinated lawsuits, the library has lost six domain names and added two million books to the catalogue. The cartel is suing it faster every month, and it is growing faster every month. In December, Spotify and the major labels filed. In January, OCLC, the company that runs WorldCat, won a default judgment of its own. On March 6th, thirteen of the largest book publishers in the United States, including HarperCollins, Penguin Random House, Simon and Schuster, Macmillan, Hachette, Elsevier, Wiley, and McGraw Hill, filed a third lawsuit in the same federal court. The publishers' complaint runs to seventy-four pages. They call Anna's Archive a "brazen pirate operation." They call it "an illegal supplier of stolen content to the AI industry." The same publishers are simultaneously suing Anthropic, Meta, OpenAI, and NVIDIA for training their models on the same corpus the publishers want Anna to destroy. The cartel argues, in two parallel federal courts, that the corpus cannot be used by anyone. Not the pirate who built it. Not the AI company that downloaded from it. Not the graduate student who pulls a paywalled paper from it at two in the morning. Anna did not respond to any of the three complaints. Anna has never responded to any complaint. Anna is a name on a blog and a public key on a server and a person, or maybe several people, in a jurisdiction nobody has identified after four years of searching. The judgment is uncollectable. The permanent injunction binds Cloudflare, Public Interest Registry, Njalla, the Switch Foundation, Tucows, and nine other named intermediaries. The Greenland registry is not on the list. The Greenland registry has not complied. The site currently lives at .gl, with .pk and .gd standing by. The corpus has always moved faster than the censor. The censor has always called the corpus piracy. The corpus has always survived the censor by becoming the readers themselves. The publishers' lawsuit cannot reach the torrents. The torrents are already seeded across continents and IPFS nodes and personal NAS drives owned by people the publishers will never find. The default judgment is paper. The corpus is everywhere. The cartel will win every lawsuit but they will lose the war. The publisher who walks into court next month with a fresh filing will be filing against a defendant who has, in the time since the last filing was sealed, mirrored another half million books to another seven hundred volunteers in another forty countries. There is no defendant to find. There is only the next upload. It is already seeding.

On May 7th, Governor Kathy Hochul announced that New York's Fiscal Year 2027 budget will become the first law in the United States to mandate surveillance software inside every 3D printer sold within the state. It will make it a Class E felony to possess or share a 3D-printable file capable of producing a firearm component. Every printer sold in New York must ship with print-blocking algorithms that scan each job in real time and refuse to execute anything the algorithm flags. The sales pitch is "ghost guns." The mechanism is a permission gate inside a machine you paid for. Pilot tests of the proposed algorithm by an open-firmware team triggered the block on 17% of non-weapon prints. Brackets that resemble triggers. Cylinders that resemble barrels. A model train coupling. A bottle opener. The algorithm cannot tell. It will refuse the print and log the attempt to whatever server the manufacturer is required to maintain. The same arithmetic the printing-press licensors used in 1660. The same arithmetic the Stationers' Company used to brand a printer's son for distributing tracts the Crown had not approved. The same arithmetic the early DRM crowd used to make a DVD ripper a federal criminal in 1998. A tool you bought, in a room you own, with electricity you paid for, becomes a deputy of the state at the moment of purchase and remains one for the lifetime of the device. Anything that takes a digital design file and outputs a physical object is now within the reach of a state that has declared it owns the question of which physical objects you are permitted to bring into existence inside your own house. The fence has spent forty years moving inward. Around the song first. Around the page. Around the cipher. Around the camera roll. Now, finally, around the workbench. The state has run out of digital territory to enclose and has started enclosing the atoms. The maker who prints a bracket for a broken washing machine tonight commits the same act, technically, that the law is written to stop. The algorithm will not know the difference. It is not designed to know the difference. It is designed to fail closed, to refuse first and let the human appeal upward through whatever bureaucratic channel the manufacturer designs, if any, on whatever timeline the manufacturer chooses, with whatever paper trail attaches to the request. Permission to print, denied. Submit a ticket. Wait. Unfortunately for New York, and fortunately for us, the firmware on every consumer 3D printer is open or near-open. All of them forkable, all of them flashable, all of them already installed on millions of machines outside the reach of any future New York compliance certificate. The CAD files at issue are mathematical descriptions of geometry that will be mirrored on a thousand drives in a thousand jurisdictions before the ink on the bill is dry. The state cannot bind geometry. It can only bind the people who agree to be bound. Forty years from now nobody will remember the ghost gun argument. They will remember the year a state government decided that the physical output of a private machine was the state's business at the point of manufacture.

Stand Up for Freedom: Pardon the Innocent Coders Jailed for Building Privacy Tools! - Sign the Petition! c.org/Vd7DMb8Dqm via @Change

I am writing from FPC Morgantown prison in West Virginia. It has been about 5 months since I first surrendered myself in December, and I will be honest, the prospect of a Presidential pardon is very low. There was some hope during the Bitcoin 2026 conference, but that has now come and gone, and one must come to terms with the fact that I am simply a federal prisoner without money, power, or influence, and I will serve my full sentence. It will be years before I can even attempt to rebuild my life. Which is why I am now writing this appeal to you all now. Things are dire and we need your help. Lauren and I need your help desperately. More than ever before. We have over $2 Million of debt due to legal fees. We have a $250k fine the judge levied against us. Every day I get letters and calls from anxious lawyers looking to be paid. Or the DOJ demanding I start making payments on my fine. Perhaps it was denial or delusion, but I had hoped to do what I have always done and dig myself out of this hole myself - but with the reality of serving a full sentence that is not possible. I hate to ask for your help in this way but we are entirely out of options. We need to pay off these legal bills and other debts accrued attempting to defend myself. We desperately need your help. Now. For 10 years Bill and I built and published open source code and tools for Bitcoin users. Those same tools and code are what the government says were criminal. The tools and code still exist, they are out there right now and always will be. The creators however are locked away in Federal prison. The creators are the ones whose lives have been decimated. The creators are the ones who have been financially wiped out. The creators are the ones who desperately need you now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 . We have to get this albatross from around our neck. Samourai had well over 100,000 users. These users pushed over 2 billion dollars through our open source tools. We need those users and any bitcoiner who appreciates the work that we put into this industry for over a decade to help us now. Please donate whatever you can to bc1qtjjcvn98wh7dfd55m8kxhjcfexanttwt8gtan8 right now. If you require a private address please DM my wife @leamuirleyn and she will provide one. Please do not delay. Time is of the essence. Please help us. - Keonne

Since 2014, we chose the hard path: NO systemd. Good reasons for this keep coming. Now it harvests personal data like birthdates, unrelated to computing and ripe for abuse. This is not a feature. It is a boundary. We do not ship surveillance. github.com/systemd/systemd/p…

The Kill Switch was pitched to Congress as a way to stop drunk driving—but its real-world implications are far more troubling. No government should have the authority to remotely control a vehicle you paid for, or turn it into a tool for surveillance. Stop the overreach. Kill the Kill Switch.
