Last month, members of CCC testified in German parliament about the importance of anonymity tools in technopolitics: "Encryption & anonymization services such as Tor are fundamental for secure communication & protection of information from unauthorized access. For people affected by repression or surveillance, it's essential that encryption methods and anonymization services are neither weakened nor provided with backdoors."

“For now” - This #news headline from CNN may help you realize the importance of using #privacy-centric and #encrypted software & services.

Using systems that do not track you in the first place ensures that your meta information is unavailable to give to authorities.

Using systems that encrypt your data properly make it harder for state actors to target you.

Neste admirável mundo novo somos expostos aos mais variados estímulos e tentações, explorando a tecnologia que nos explora. O conceito utópico original prometido pela internet, de espaço aberto, neutro, democrático e sem fronteiras, está gradualmente a ser subvertido. #privacylx #internet #direitoshumanos

Important announcement from @torproject about the deprecation of v2 onion services:

https://blog.torproject.org/v2-deprecation-timeline

v3 onion addresses are recognizable by their 56 character identifier. They provide better security and anonymity protections than the previous version.

If you're running a SecureDrop instance and are still on v2, please see our docs for switching to v3, or enabling v3 alongside v2.

https://docs.securedrop.org/en/master/v3_services.html

More than 15 years ago, Onion Service (at the time named Hidden Service) saw the light of day. From today (July 2nd), the Internet has around 16 months to migrate from onion services v2 to v3 once and for all. ⏰

Conservatives: police are useless which is why I own a gun
People: ok, let's defund the police then
Conservatives: but then how will we be protected?

Sinto uma profunda dívida pelas pessoas que se sacrificaram para que possamos disfrutar da Carta dos Direitos Humanos. A angustia é para mim uma sensação de sufoco que subtrai gradualmente a liberdade que ainda se respira.
