A warning: A rCLdark, dystopian worldrCY is approaching, with governments worldwide rolling back privacy protections. With governments in control
of AI and the internet, in control of the Bitcoins, and military. I
probably won't be here to see it at my age but my grand kids will. Watch China and Russia to get an idea of what it's going to be like if you
don't fight back and resist.
rCLIrCOm turning 41, but I donrCOt feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free internet built for us by our fathers,rCY said Durov in an X post on Thursday.
rCLOnce-free countries are introducing dystopian measures,rCY said Durov, referencing the European UnionrCOs Chat Control proposal, digital IDs in
the UK and new rules requiring online age checks to access social media
in Australia.
rCLWhat was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.rCY
rCLGermany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.rCY
rCLA dark, dystopian world is approaching fast rCo while werCOre asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms
rCo and allowed them to be taken away,rCY Pavel added.
Privacy protections are a cornerstone of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry. Bitcoin was created to operate pseudonymously, using addresses instead of names, and allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the involvement of banks, among other measures.
Germany may have blocked the EUrCOs Chat Control
EU lawmakers were set to vote on the Chat Control law next week, which critics argue undermines encrypted messaging and peoplerCOs right to
privacy as it requires services such as Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal to allow regulators to screen messages before they are encrypted and sent.
The legislation, however, has been dealt a heavy blow, with the head of GermanyrCOs largest political party coming out in opposition. Germany,
which holds 97 seats in the European Parliament, was expected to have
the final say on whether it would pass.
The president of messaging app Signal, Meredith Whittaker, said on
Thursday that while GermanyrCOs opposition to the measure is a relief, she warns that rCLthe war is not over,rCY because it now moves to rCLthe European
Council, where the issue is unresolved.rCY
She also warns that any further attempts to enact similar measures
allowing the scanning of content should be opposed because it negates encryption and also creates rCLa dangerous backdoor.rCY
rCLThe technical consensus is clear: you canrCOt create a backdoor that only lets the 'good guys' in. However they're dressed up, these proposals
create cybersecurity loopholes that hackers and hostile nations are
eagerly waiting to exploit .rCY
UKrCOs Digital ID has sparked concerns, too
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a digital ID scheme in
September, which would require citizens to prove their right to live and work in the country.
The government is pushing the measure as a way to combat illegal
workers, while also cutting down wait times to verify identities and
gain access to government services, such as licenses, childcare, welfare
and tax.
Critics argue that the scheme raises privacy concerns as individuals
would be required to provide personal information to be stored on a government app, and it would be too easy for the government to misuse it.
Over 2.8 million people have already signed a petition opposing the introduction of a digital ID. Petitions that gain more than 100,000 signatures have to be considered for debate in Parliament.
AustraliarCOs online age verification system raises privacy issues as well
Australia will restrict access to social media platforms for users under
16 from Dec. 10, and one of the measures floated to enforce the ban has
been an online digital age verification system.
Lawmakers in the country argue that the scheme will protect minors from harmful content online. However, critics share similar privacy concerns
with the UK system, namely that it could lead to government misuse and create privacy issues around the storage of data.

AustraliarCOs online age verification system raises privacy issues as well >>>
Australia will restrict access to social media platforms for users
under 16 from Dec. 10, and one of the measures floated to enforce the
ban has been an online digital age verification system.
Lawmakers in the country argue that the scheme will protect minors
from harmful content online. However, critics share similar privacy
concerns with the UK system, namely that it could lead to government
misuse and create privacy issues around the storage of data.

A warning: A rCLdark, dystopian worldrCY is approaching, with
governments worldwide rolling back privacy protections. With
governments in control of AI and the internet, in control of the
Bitcoins, and military. I probably won't be here to see it at my
age but my grand kids will. Watch China and Russia to get an idea
of what it's going to be like if you don't fight back and resist.
rCLIrCOm turning 41, but I donrCOt feel like celebrating. Our generation >>>>> is running out of time to save the free internet built for us by

rCLOnce-free countries are introducing dystopian measures,rCY said
Durov, referencing the European UnionrCOs Chat Control proposal,
digital IDs in the UK and new rules requiring online age checks to
access social media in Australia.
rCLWhat was once the promise of the free exchange of information is >>>>> being turned into the ultimate tool of control.rCY

Privacy protections are a cornerstone of Bitcoin and the broader
cryptocurrency industry. Bitcoin was created to operate
pseudonymously, using addresses instead of names, and allowing
peer- to-peer transactions without the involvement of banks, among
other measures.
Germany may have blocked the EUrCOs Chat Control
EU lawmakers were set to vote on the Chat Control law next week,
which critics argue undermines encrypted messaging and peoplerCOs
right to privacy as it requires services such as Telegram, WhatsApp >>>>> and Signal to allow regulators to screen messages before they are
encrypted and sent.
The legislation, however, has been dealt a heavy blow, with the
head of GermanyrCOs largest political party coming out in opposition. >>>>> Germany, which holds 97 seats in the European Parliament, was
expected to have the final say on whether it would pass.
The president of messaging app Signal, Meredith Whittaker, said on
Thursday that while GermanyrCOs opposition to the measure is a
relief, she warns that rCLthe war is not over,rCY because it now moves >>>>> to rCLthe European Council, where the issue is unresolved.rCY
She also warns that any further attempts to enact similar measures
allowing the scanning of content should be opposed because it
negates encryption and also creates rCLa dangerous backdoor.rCY
rCLThe technical consensus is clear: you canrCOt create a backdoor that >>>>> only lets the 'good guys' in. However they're dressed up, these
proposals create cybersecurity loopholes that hackers and hostile
nations are eagerly waiting to exploit .rCY
UKrCOs Digital ID has sparked concerns, too
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a digital ID scheme in
September, which would require citizens to prove their right to
live and work in the country.
The government is pushing the measure as a way to combat illegal
workers, while also cutting down wait times to verify identities
and gain access to government services, such as licenses,
childcare, welfare and tax.
Critics argue that the scheme raises privacy concerns as
individuals would be required to provide personal information to be >>>>> stored on a government app, and it would be too easy for the
government to misuse it.
Over 2.8 million people have already signed a petition opposing the >>>>> introduction of a digital ID. Petitions that gain more than 100,000 >>>>> signatures have to be considered for debate in Parliament.
