French law enforcement brought up SkyECC and Encrochat, two companies they went after with arrests and server seizures. They made it very clear they'll go after us similarly if they're able to conjure a good enough justification and we don't cooperate by providing device access.

#dictators don’t knock to the door, they impose their #power silently by:
- screaming in public hearings
- finding an #enemy
- identifying internal #terrorists
- exploiting #misinformation
- cutting founds to #healthcare instruction, #welfare and #research
- financing public order services and #defence
- spreading #income inequalities
- using lawfare
- delegitimising #judiciary and #science
- reinforcing #executive
- proposing constitutional amendments
- waiving away from #international #network

So, apparently on October 20th of 2025 #internet died (again) due to #dns issue in #aws

There is no better moment than this to stress even more the importance of #decentralization #selfhosting and deployment of #foss alternatives to the services offered by #greed giant #corporations in order to claim back a more resilient #web just like it was at the very beginning

We, the #people , should fight for re-claiming our #right of #property over #tech stuff

Nowadays everything in the tech industry is designed to be rented by users under licences, not being bought by #owners

#capitalism that put property as its first pillar, now disregards it in name of greediness and profits.

One of the worst #attacks to the #freedom of the #press that resembles those of the #terror ‘s decades in #italy during ‘70 and ‘80’s

When such basic #rights are under #threat than is where #democracy shrinks

Report, ordigno esplode sotto l'auto di Sigfrido Ranucci: "Poteva uccidere"

Danneggiata anche una casa, l'auto del giornalista era parcheggiata davanti alla sua abitazione, a Campo Ascolano, alle porte di Roma: "La potenza dell'esplosione è stata tale per cui avrebbe potuto uccidere chi fosse passato in quel momento"
