The only thing I saw is this: "While Hamas leaders will not agree to leave Gaza or disarm, the terror group is prepared to cede governing control of the Strip to independent Palestinian technocrats and agree to a years-long truce with Israel that includes “security arrangements,” the senior Palestinian official claimed.", which is definitely not the same.

@dominik @eff That's news to me, as at the last time I looked for an answer I found that it's quite redundant. I'll try it out then. Thanks

@eff Is it worth using PB if I have uBlock Origin configured?

@Lydie @eff They might try to convince ISPs to block IPs of services that won't break e2ee. But even then we can self host servers that implements the Matrix Protocol.

A Texas sheriff used 83,000+ license plate reader cameras to track a woman “suspected of having an abortion.” The reason listed in the record: “had an abortion, search for female.” https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/05/she-got-abortion-so-texas-cop-used-83000-cameras-track-her-down
She Got an Abortion. So A Texas Cop Used 83,000 Cameras to Track Her Down.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Lawmakers who support reproductive rights must recognize that abortion access and mass surveillance are incompatible. The systems built to track stolen cars and issue parking tickets have become tools to enforce the most personal and politically charged laws in the country.

@zog

I didn't actually read the article, are these the specific models that the backdoor was found? Although even if they are, it's definitely not the first case that was found in the routers space.In fact, in general, these are so common at the routers space that I'd recommend anyone who buys a new router to choose one that supports OpenWRT.

Unfortunately people don't even know about these things and they think router just works, like a fridge or a laundry machine for example.. That's why so many people uses VERY outdated routers. We are indeed in a very problematic situation and basically the only solution is OpenWRT.
