Pavel Durov (CEO of Telegram) about the use of "the Gag order" in U.S against social media privacy
  • Ah yes, Pavel Durov, Tucker Carlson and "Vigilant Fox" the holy triumvirate of Good Information.

  • UK petition to ban harvesting of behavioural metadata for ads
  • This would be a great thing to happen; under a Starmer gov't (and any inbound Reform administration) it is not gonna.

    Also petition.parliament.uk is a tool created by Westminister to divert energy from real action to signing a petition. If you wanna get involved with doing something like this then look to and support Open Rights Group, Big Brother Watch, Privacy International etc.

  • Firefox then additional hardening through arkenfox.js, minimal extensions - uBlock + Bitwarden.
