already known...but let's put a spotlight on the next ICC judge (from Canada) who is cancelled from the digital life. No Amazon, no Mastercard, no Netflix account...

Just because Trump doesn't like the ruling of an independent international institution like the International Criminal Court.

ICC judges have been forcibly removed from most digital services, credit cards, and banks.

"Amazon, obliged to implement the sanctions as a US company, had cancelled her account."

‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life

Canadian judge Kimberly Prost is unable to use credit cards, transfer money or book everyday services in what she calls an attack on the independence of the judiciary

When you read Fascintern media, you are reading editorialised fascism. You aren't protesting. You have no power. You are just subjecting yourself to an information space that is editorially structured to promote fascism.
When you write for Fascintern media, you are choosing to publish with them.

Fascintern Media

We are facing a coordinated international fascist movement that works with explicit backing from Moscow, Washington, and tech monopolies, and is propagating itself through its own media apparatus. Yet people who claim to side with democracy keep doing work to support Fascintern media because they misunderstand how it works. This needs to change.

ZKCC: zero-knowledge circuit language and compiler for practical deployment in Identity Wallets.

News From Dyne

If you're working in the e-ID space you might have heard of the "Longfellow" and "Crescent" papers, which implement zero-knowledge proofs on existing credentials. We wrote a deep-dive with @elgharee @clemhumb into these papers and compare them here:

TLDR: very impressive work, but very difficult to reproduce as a normal software dev.

Sotto - E-ID Privacy Suggestions Technical Blob

Oh no - archive.today is under attack. I always was wondering how they finance their service, and who is behind it. Now it seems that the FBI is targeting it...

- people ask to put it on a blacklist: https://adguard-dns.io/en/blog/archive-today-adguard-dns-block-demand.html
- wikipedia writes the FBI subpoenaed their registrar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archive.today
- the talk page of wikipedia marks it as a Russian company
- traceroute points to an Estonian server
- some countries already block DNS requests to it

Such a nice, illegal service.

Behind the complaints: Our investigation into the suspicious pressure on Archive.today

Some time ago, we were contacted by a group fighting against online CSAM, demanding that AdGuard DNS blocks the Archive.today website. This was only the beginning of a much larger story…

Oh, I'm smart, Ziyi is talking about "popular belief and assumptions" for very specific knowledge. Reminds me of good old xkcd...
