The Internet is being destroyed, and freedom of expression is getting more and more limited with the excuse of "ensuring public safety", "combating terrorism" and "protecting the younger, most vulnerable people". Dark days ahead of us.
Austrian Government Seeks to Eliminate Internet Anonymity – With Severe Penalties https://derstandard.at/2000101677286/Government-Seeks-to-Eliminate-Internet-Anonymity-With-Severe-Penalties
@L1Cafe this has happened before. It will happen again. The net has always weathered the storm so far. I think the difference this time is that forming a united front with tech corporations will not work, as it has with issues like #NetNeutrality, #SOPA/ #PIPA etc. They will try to save their businesses by throwing our freedoms under the bus, but we have an opportunity to claw back some of the #InternetFreedom they take away themselves.
