concept: a fediverse instance that requires you to prove you are wearing a pink maid outfit to post.
This simple test cuts through a lot of the epistemological difficulties in deciding what list of sub groups of sub identities should count as “woman” or “woman adjacent”, ot flinta like enumeration of every group of people who you arbitrarily decide should or should not be welcomed;
and we whittle it down to one question: would you throw a fit about wearing a pink maid outfit
Adesso occorrerebbe un altro articolo che facesse un parallelo con gli algoritmi di altri social, evidenziando somiglianze e differenze. Sarebbe fondamentale per portare in classe una discussione più ampia possibile. So che valigia blu può. @valigiablu@scuola@socialnetwork
Apart from the proposal itself, netzpolitik.org once again leaks a cable detailing the LEWP session on 2025-11-12: https://netzpolitik.org/2025/interne-dokumente-eu-staaten-einigen-sich-auf-freiwillige-chatkontrolle/The approach seems to be the bare minimum which all states can support.

Today October 21st is Global Encryption Day! 🔒🎉This is a good time to remember that encryption is essential to online security and digital privacy. Despite some governments pushing hard to weaken it, we must remind them that we all need encryption, and especially end-to-end encryption, to stay safe online 💚Privacy is a human right and end-to-end encryption is one of the best tool we have to enforce that right. https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/04/11/encryption-is-not-a-crime/#GlobalEncryptionDay #Encryption #E2EE #Privacy #RootForE2EE

VPNs aren’t all built the same. Many of you know this, and some of you don’t. For the latter, here’s a really informative report on a number of them. The “VPN Transparency Report 2025.”The TLDR is on page 50, but I recommend at least skimming all of it. Especially if you want to use a VPN with integrity.I use Mullvad, so I was happy to see it near the top in most sections.https://www.opentech.fund/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/VPN-Transparency-Report.pdf#VPN #Privacy #InfoSec #InternetSafety
