Let’s meet the chairpersons at the standards org “#IRTF” who are responsible for overseeing our decentralization & privacy needs are met in drafting #openStandards—

#DINRG (charter #decentraliztion group)

* Lixia Zhang: has a presence on twtr but not the fedi; her blog only works for gmail users

* Dirk Kutscher: has accounts on github & twtr but not the fedi; his Google Scholar‬ page pushes a 403 on Tor users

#PEARG (charter #privacy group who uses github [https://github.com/IRTF-PEARG])

* Sara Dickinson: a pgp key would be nice but at least she is in the fedi; though sadly she has chosen a privacy-abusing Cloudflare node (#Fosstodon); profile directs people to MS github.

* Christopher A. Wood: a “Research Lead at #Cloudflare Research” ← WTF, are you fucking kidding me?! #hypocrisy!

Shivan Kaul Sahib: personal website (shivankaul·com) is in the privacy-abusing walled garden of Cloudflare. He asks for money via the ironically named “opentech·fund” (another CF site). Has a presence on twitter, github, linkedin, keybase; also has a bluesky account but hides it & downplays it.

Dear @irtf,

Digital freedom fighters would like you to sack all of the above people except @sinodun. Plz replace them with people who can lead by example. Perhaps someone like @aral, for example.

@irtf The irony is that IRTF uses privacy-abusing tech to send this meeting notice about web #privacy. Seriously?! The #hypocrisy is a bit rich considering #PEARG is an #IRTF branch that works on privacy & #DINRG is a #NetNeutrality branch of IRTF. How are these task forces not embarrassed? #Cloudflare #IETF

[en] so useful: survey of *current* internet censorship techniques https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-irtf-pearg-censorship-09.html #censorship #pearg #internetCensorship #ietf

A Survey of Worldwide Censorship Techniques

This document describes technical mechanisms employed in network censorship that regimes around the world use for blocking or impairing Internet traffic. It aims to make designers, implementers, and users of Internet protocols aware of the properties exploited and mechanisms used for censoring end-user access to information. This document makes no suggestions on individual protocol considerations, and is purely informational, intended as a reference. This document is a product of the Privacy Enhancement and Assessment Research Group (PEARG) in the IRTF.

Also furtherly evolving at the #PEARG is the informational Internet-Draft (rev 05) on censorship techniques (currently) employed by regimes world-wide, impacting freedom of information:
