The UK government's plan to teach 10 million British children how to use VPNs may be one of the most ambitious IT education projects ever launched. Experts have praised the scheme, saying that a deft combination of incentives and peer education make it more likely to succeed than other, comparable initiatives.
"With the rise of autocratic governments worldwide, VPN-literacy is more essential than ever.” said one expert, “This bold project definitely comes at the right time.”
Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.
I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.
This is not a drill.
If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.
They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊

Crypto bros used to tell me crypto was good for the environment because its energy demand would drive adoption of renewables. I am starting to see AI bros make the same case.
In addition to being observably wrong, this is like saying a higher cancer rate is good because it drives health care.
I have 100 post-its in blue and I signed and numbered them all. I claim they are worth $10M each and my best buddy agrees. He also found investors that have bought one post-it, I gave them a discount of 90%, so they paid me $1M. I can now claim I’m a billionaire. I don’t plan to sell any of the 99 remaining post-its. I will maybe use one or two of them as collateral for loans. My name is Elon Musk jr.

The best time for a European organization to start building an independent European mirror of Wikipedia, not reliant on the US or WMF, was in December 2016.
The second-best time is today.
Sometimes the view of an empty road in the evening is everything you need to feel optimistic.
