France orders CyberGhost, ExpressVPN, NordVPN, ProtonVPN & Surfshark to block more pirate streaming sites (F1 & Ligue 1 focus). Rights holders beIN & Canal+ push for enforcement. Privacy concerns mounting; appeals likely.
As many of you probably know, the UK's Online Safety Act is a flawed idea that will harm your online privacy and security. If you oppose this Act please sign the open letter to the UK Gov
You are not "on the side of predators" as Peter Kyle, the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, accuses you of being.

NEW CAMPAIGN: “Age Verification” laws are accelerating the global discussion of banning or restricting VPN usage but this won’t make the internet a safer place!
Online surveillance and censorship has a huge chilling effect on our freedoms, particularly the freedoms of traditionally marginalized people.
Thanks to @s3phy again for helping me understand another area where IPv6 is broken in Linux desktop networking configuration tools: connecting to a SSH server to create a SOCKS proxy using the NetworkManager SSH plugin. That thing only checks if the gateway address is a valid IPv4 address

The #UK’s #OnlineSafetyAct, requiring #ageverification for certain content, has resulted in a surge in #VPN usage and #limitedaccess to support communities and educational resources. Critics argue the law, which prioritises #governmentcontrol over actual #safety, is #unworkable and infringes on #privacy. https://www.techdirt.com/2025/08/04/didnt-take-long-to-reveal-the-uks-online-safety-act-is-exactly-the-privacy-crushing-failure-everyone-warned-about/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

#RussianParliament approves a bill punishing online searches for information deemed ‘#extremist’
Updated 6:47 AM EDT, July 25, 2025
MOSCOW (AP) — "The Russian parliament’s upper house on Friday quickly approved a bill that punishes #OnlineSearches for information officially branded 'extremist,' the latest in a series of moves by authorities to tighten control of the internet.
The legislation makes what it describes as 'deliberately searching for and accessing extremist materials' online punishable by a fine of up to the equivalent of $64.
"The bill, which was endorsed by the lower house earlier this week, is now set to be signed into law by President Vladimir #Putin.
The official definition of extremist activity is extremely broad and includes opposition groups like the #AntiCorruptionFoundation, created by the late opposition leader #AlexeiNavalny, and the 'international #LGBT movement.'
"It’s not clear how authorities will track down violators.
"Officials and lawmakers said ordinary internet users won’t be affected and only those who methodically seek outlawed content will be targeted. They didn’t explain how authorities would differentiate between them.
"Russians widely use #VPN services for access to #BannedContent, but authorities have sought to tighten restrictions and close the loopholes. The state communications watchdog has increasingly used technology to analyze traffic and block specific VPN protocols.
"Russian authorities have ramped up their multipronged #crackdown on dissent after sending troops into #Ukraine in February 2022.
"Since then, online #censorship and prosecutions for social media posts and comments have soared.
"Multiple independent news outlets and rights groups have been shut down, labeled as 'foreign agents' or outlawed as 'undesirable.' Hundreds of #activists and critics of the #Kremlin have faced criminal charges."
