Where did the inspiration for the USA kit come from ????

Needless to say, do not sign up for W or give them your ID information no matter how simple they eventually manage to make it.

You simply don’t need to.

You’re already in a far superior – non-corporate, federated – space.

Do not sign up for W. And warn your friends.

The only time you have any power to stop this is now. If they succeed in gaining network effects, you will be as powerless to stop them as you are with X.

And yes, they’re just another venture capital funded surveillance capitalist, people farmer, and burgeoning Nazi Bar. They just happen to be based in the EU. (As Nazi Bars traditionally have been.)

@Tutanota ....unfortunately a pipe dream that people with expendable income to play at. It should be a human right, but those in power won't allow it to happen.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

Fuck me, I hate to be one of those boring cunts who moans about the weather but can we not have something *in between* unbearable 30° heat and cold weeklong torrential rain with all day gloom?

Hadjar does realise you don’t get air miles for trips to the stewards ?

Whistleblowers, activists, and journalists depend on anonymous VPN services. Requiring identity verification for VPN services would put them at risk. It would also have a chilling effect on online debate (VPNs can help people post anonymously on social media).

In authoritarian countries, VPN services are crucial forcriticizing the government. That is precisely why such governments seek to ban or restrict them. Hopefully, the UK will not join that list.

Migrating from another instance just for a change of identity and a fresh start.
Moving following and other lists pleasantly surprisingly quick and simple 😃
