Good News! 🚨👀

I am delighted to finally announce today what I've been working on in the past few weeks:

Privacy Guides' new Activism section!
https://privacyguides.org/activism/

The Activism section offers a new way to empower the digital rights community. It will progressively grow with more tools to support the community in its privacy activism effort, both for individuals and organizations 💛

As Privacy Guides' new Activism & Outreach Lead, I will be working hard on developing this section even further in the coming weeks, adding many more tools to support our community.

I hope this can be a helpful resource for anyone who is ready to fight for privacy rights ✊🔒

The correct response is still "Fuck you Discord, too little too late".

They're only pulling back from March to later this year, and adding credit card options instead of face scans isn't addressing the issue of "fuck you, you don't need to know who I am".

YES! This is AMAZING! 🎉 Keep pushing against abusive practices, and keep fighting for your privacy rights! IT WORKS! ✊🔒 https://9to5mac.com/2026/02/24/discord-just-canceled-its-planned-age-verification-rollout-for-now/ Edit: Just to be clear, I still encourage everyone to move to better platforms and delete your Discord accounts (even if there was no age verification at all). Discord isn't a privacy-respectful platform. But this small victory means we should keep pushing for better privacy practices, everywhere. This means they are listening. This means you have the power to make things better, for yourself and for others. Celebrate that. And keep pushing back. #Privacy #AgeVerification #Discord #PrivacyWin

To exist online in 10 years, you're going to have to give a random company a face scan and photo ID and they're going to give that and everything you post to the government to spy on you for being queer, left-wing, "a criminal," or whatever. None of your data or communications will be private. The government and corporations will go through all of it.

If you don't want that to happen, you should raise a stink about "age verification" right now because that's what they're actually building.

I posted a lengthy message to my friends and every server I'm active on on #discord about how obscenely evil their new #ageverification policy is and shared links about the most recent persona breach.

Everyone seems extremely disturbed by the obvious privacy violation this is and everyone is planning to leave. Some of my coworkers are spinning up a teamspeak server and the majority of my friends have been moving to #Matrix.

Be the squeaky wheel!

Once more for the wannabe infosec tough guys:

Nobody.

Deserves.

To be.

Exploited.

FOH with your smug "Well if they were running that..." What is the point of that? Are you helping? Will people trust you to help them?

And who will help you when you inevitably get got? Who will think you deserved it?

My Celestron Nexstar 6SE showed up today! So excited to actually use it. It took me around 2 hours to get set up for the first time. Admittedly I had to go inside and warm up a few times.
