Next up will be a VPN ban. Many tech-y people will see that and think “lol yeah well that’s not going to stop *me* from using a VPN”
A VPN ban isn’t really meant stop you from using one. It means when they catch you doing so, they’ll use the fact you’re using this harmless technology itself as a *pretense* to lock you up without needing to do any “hard work” (i.e. an investigator’s job) like actually confirming whether you committed a real crime.
Don’t think you won’t be impacted just because you know how to outsmart an ISP filter! This is not a plan to protect children or stop you from consuming adult media. It is a ploy to eventually eliminate ALL freedom of expression and free access to information in the UK.
And the same goes for Chat Control and encrypted messengers, btw

There's a lot going on in the United States. If you plan to exercise your legal right to protest, we kindly remind you to not RSVP online, "check in" on a social app, or share your name or email with protest organizers.
Protesting a tyrannical government is core to American culture, and Constitutionally enshrined. You can do so by simply showing up, while maintaining good opsec & data privacy.

Signal President Meredith Whittaker warns AI agents embedded in OSes are eroding end-to-end encryption's real-world security, despite its mathematical soundness. With root-like access to messages & data, they bypass E2EE isolation—urgent rethink needed! 🔒🤖❌
