doing a college paper on my stance on Internet privacy, and my experiences with it in my own life... but it requires scholarly research, has anyone smarter than me (preferably an expert in the subject) who is currently on Fedi done research into the matter? a paper, maybe?

preferably something of an anti-censorship and anti-government meddling stance, but i dont think i need to ask that considering all of us use a decentralized service xd

many thanks to all that might participate, ill be sure to credit you in the citations :]

Ah yes, because clearly the only way to protect our precious little ones is to blanket the entire internet in bubble wrap and a healthy dose of parental paranoia 🍼🔒. Let's just turn the web into a PG-rated daycare and call it a day, shall we? 🤦‍♂️🌐

Do Not Turn Child Protection Into Internet Access Control

Age verification turns the open internet into a permission system and pushes control away from families, schools, and users.

A Botnet Accidentally Destroyed I2P (The Full Story)

On February 3, 2026, the I2P anonymity network was flooded with 700,000 hostile nodes in what became one of the most devastating Sybil attacks an anonymity network has ever experienced. The network normally operates with 15,000 to 20,000 active devices. The attackers overwhelmed it by a factor

Dunno if this will help anyone, but, random tech tip: if you're using a VPN and a fork of Firefox browser, and your DNS leak test looks like a rusty sieve, check your browser's privacy settings to make sure DNS over HTTPS isn't turned on. I'm no expert in this, but i'm preeeeetty sure that when you're using a VPN, you don't want the internet to see any IP addresses but the one you specifically told it to. What happens when that setting IS enabled is that your browser sends a bunch of other random DNS requests and they all show up on the check's list. For some reason, in MY browser, this is enabled by default. Anyway, I turned it off and passed the leak test with flying colors. Hope this helps someone. (it says it will turn itself off when a VPN is enabled. It lies).

If I've got something horribly wrong, here, or done something extremely stupid without realizing, PLEASE correct me in the replies so this post doesn't mislead anyone who reads it (and so i can fix my fuckup).
