🚫🔒 "Access Denied" – CNBC's cutting-edge #journalism on China's latest chess move against #Meta gets blocked faster than you can say "Great Firewall." Because who needs actual content when you can just enjoy the endless loop of error messages? 📉😂

The Internet now feels like if we were on #China, where laws like #AgeVerification are like the #GreatFirewall and the VPN to bypass it are IDs and actual VPNs.

Ciberguerras: o que a China entendeu antes do mundo

As guerras no século XXI se iniciam na vigilância massiva, interceptação de dados e controle sobre infraestruturas digitais. Foi o que precedeu o ataque à Venezuela. Vale analisar o caso chinês, que se destaca por tecnologias soberanas e ecossistema que garante a segurança nacional

Bart Preneel wrote in the print edition of De Standaard: Europe’s push for mandatory online age checks risks a 'Great Firewall.' Protecting youth is vital, but mass verification threatens #privacy, digital inclusion, and freedom, and is easy to bypass. Experts call for a moratorium.

Saw on #LinkedIn a European tech expert claiming that the #US is "by far the worst in the world in terms of privacy violations"

I honestly feel like #Asia doesn't exist to a lot of Europeans. Do they really not know how bad privacy and data laws are in many countries here? Have they not heard of the #GreatFirewall or how #Chinese users have basically zero data privacy?

Lots to critique in the US and of big tech, but that's not the way to do it.

It’s strange while I’m in China. My personal iPhone won’t always correctly figure out where it is. I’ve once had it think it was in Poland while I was in Zhengzhou. On the other hand, my company iPhone will recognize where it is instantly. The only difference is I have a VPN on my personal phone. But the phone never thinks it’s in one of those places. Point is, I can’t set alarms to wake up on my personal phone here. I have to use my company phone. It’s just weird.
