The only proof we need that our security and privacy tools work is the push for age verification and registered developers. The push for these laws and policies are nothing more than blatant attempts to turn every single hoster, developer, moderator, etc... into criminals for not making users easy to spy on by states or have data harvested from by corporations. It is also an attempt to deflect liability away from abuses on corporate platforms.
But the assholes pushing this shit forget something, the same people they are targeting hold up the entire internet. Go ahead and keep calling your politicians, but I think it is time to go further.
Sabotage.
Your labour and projects are yours. Your skills and abilities are yours. The same people threatening you rely on your projects. I propose we threaten back. Not only refuse to comply, but threaten to sabotage projects to prevent the people threatening you from using them.
The FLOSS world belongs to the people not the politicians or capitalists. They have no right to tell us what we shall must do. When they forget this we remind them with fire. This is a call for a #CyberRiot to remind them. Start with injecting warnings that they are forced to see, but have actions ready.

If we think of the most powerful people as misanthropic Malthusian accelerationists that are aware of how bad the climate catastrophe is getting, many of their behaviours make sense. I'm not saying this is the whole absolute reality, but the data fits and the causal mechanisms are logically sound. If someone else can provide a more correct model, particularly if it changes the following conclusions, I am interested.
If we accept this model, it follows directly that they view the majority (>90%) of humanity as something between a disposable resource to exploit to death and a direct enemy to be destroyed as soon as possible.
Given that conclusion, I ask if it does not follow that all means of self defense and rebellion against them are not justified? Any attempts to dissuade them is against a short timeline of real threat and the urgency this model assumes they are already operating under.
Any other possible models or conclusions are invited. Pearl clutching and explicit (legally actionable) calls to action will be ignored. And any proposed elaborations or improvemrnts are welcome.

THIS is #anarchism: collective action. Community self-defence, #WeProtectUs.

(Doing things for ourselves, cooperative action, cooperative economics, etc. That's what anarchism is to me anyway  )

Demo Guards are an extension of the police and a threat to our community! When groups like Alle På Gaden organize demos with guards actively and aggressively policing behaviour, it becomes clear what authoritarian ideology is going on behind the scenes. Our desires for a liberated society cannot be won by using the masters tools of coercion and control. Revolutionary aesthetics hiding obedient, authoritarian parades & organizing need to be confronted! #weprotectus #AllePåGadenForEtFritPalæstina
Inside Chicago’s Neighborhood ICE Resistance

Residents have organized a formidable network to protect immigrant communities from Trump’s brutal deportation program. Their efforts are making a genuine difference.

Yesterday the postman laughed sarcastically about me for wearing a mask. I was on my way to visit my frail mother.
What does he know about my reasons for continuing to mask? There are so many possible reasons.

I don't think i will ever get used to this.
Might have to yell at one of these asswipes some time soon.

Let me take  one step further:

If you're still wearing procedure masks¹ you'd be willing to swap for respirators² that you can't afford or otherwise access, I'll buy a bunch of them from you for what you paid AND I'll make sure you get an equal number of respirators for the low, low price of $0.
