If a device is recording you and everyone around you,
And is sharing all this data with a corporation outside of your control,
It is not a "smart" device,
It is a spying device.

Signal would have no choice but to leave Europe.

Mass surveillance doesn't make us safer. We need to deconstruct this false notion.
Mass surveillance is only a tool for control and oppression, it is not for protection.

We must fight age verification with all we have
#AgeVerification laws exploit the moral panic over social media and mental health to repackage old censorship tactics under the guise of protecting children.
'I’ve been talking a lot over the past couple weeks about what an unmitigated disaster the rollout of identity verification has been in the U.K. I wrote a whole piece about it for The Guardian and a story about how these “child safety” crackdowns are a gift to big tech in Zeteo.
The UK’s rollout shows how #digitalID systems lead to mass censorship. They serve those in power, harm human rights, and we have to do everything we can to fight their expansion in the U.S.
