https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260316-01.html #FSFÈ this is so bad. Time to renew support of @fsfe and you need to do that now if you have something pledged as Nexi has "cancelled" FSF Europe because it respects the privacy of its supporters!
Dear #FreeSoftware developers...
These governmental attestation requirements popping up all over the world are nothing but a visible escalation step in the war on generic computing.
@pluralistic spoke about it in 2011 and here's a nice transcript for you https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Coming_War_on_General_Computation
I'm not modest enough to not say I was also looking at those writings in the wall, but he's a much better speaker.
Go read that, and please, please, please...
Stop collaborating with the authoritarians.

Em ação de monitoramento do ECA Digital, a ANPD estende o prazo para que empresas prestem informações sobre implementação das novas regras
Iniciativa da Coordenação-Geral de Fiscalização espera receber informações iniciais relacionadas a adequação normativa das empresas monitoradas, com o objetivo de compreender os desafios enfrentados na implementação da nova Lei e subsidiar ações futuras de orientação e fiscalização
So I just got an email from @fsfe with the information that by defending the privacy of it's supporters from its payment provider they got their contract suddenly cancelled?
This is preposterous.
It seems scandalous to me that these fascist organizations are allowed (maybe ordered by law) to be gatekeepers between citizen movements and their supporters with the power to arbitrarily cut them off.
Note: DKIM evaluation is a pass, so I have no reason to doubt this.
Mullvad VPNMass surveillance and censorship are escalating in many countries right now. There is a global attack on secure encrypted communication. Often, authorities, politicians, and tech companies work together to push for new laws. One example: when Ashton Kutcher (yes, the actor), through his tech company Thorn, tried to introduce total surveillance of all EU citizens through undemocratic and corrupt methods.
People are pretending it's ok to collaborate with government/law mandates for attestation because we live in democracies.
You need only look at what happens in China to know you're wrong.
Please do.
The answer to those government calls for ID/age/whatever attestation should be the same that is being given by some AI companies regarding usage in autonomous weapons: **NO**.
And it should be loud.
And most importantly, IMHO, absolutely no #FreeSoftware worth its license should ever be a willing collaborationist to the future dictators.
Open Rights GroupWe've called on Ofcom to clear up confusion following the ruling that the Palestine Action ban is unlawful.
We need to know what platforms are expected to do about their duty to remove 'terrorist' content under the UK Online Safety Act and how new duties will be applied.

Palestine Action ruling: Human rights organisations call for Ofcom to issue guidance on content takedowns
Human rights organisations, academics and writers have written to ask Ofcom to provide immediate guidance to tech platforms following the High Court ruling that the UK Government’s proscription of Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation was unlawful.
Apparently in California they have forbidden Free Software as a consequence of stupid legislators like those that live in Portugal, who are doing almost the same.
Any analysis if in fact it is so, or not?
