Mike Masnick compares how the Free Press covered the (misleading-to-false) story of the #Biden admin’s "censorship" of #SocialMedia [actually trying to combat harmful #disinformation like #election & #COVID #lies & #ConspiracyTheories or #HateSpeech like #WhiteSupremacy], to how they handled the very real #censorship attack on #Wikipedia by #Trump’s DC #USAttorney #EdMartin.

Spoiler: there are differences.

Techdirt · Government Actually Threatens Wikipedia’s Editorial Freedom; Self-Proclaimed Free Speech Warriors Suddenly Have Other PlansWhen Trump officials want to censor speech, they don’t quite say “we want to censor speech” (after all, they pretend to be the party that “brought free speech back.”) Instead, the…

TL;DR: The U.S. House of Representatives has passed the controversial TAKE IT DOWN Act, which critics argue could lead to increased censorship and threats to online privacy. The bill's broad takedown provisions may empower powerful entities to manipulate platforms into removing lawful speech without adequate safeguards. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/04/cong #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum

#TakeItDown Act has passed the #House 409-2 giving #Trump & the #FTC power to #censor the #internet.

The bill seems good at first glance. It requires online platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery aka“revenge porn.”

However, it will also enable the FTC to demand #content be removed from websites.

🚨In fact, Trump said he will use the bill ON HIS OWN BEHALF, presumably to remove criticism of him from the web.

Techdirt · Congress Moving Forward On Unconstitutional Take It Down ActHere’s a puzzle: How do you write a law that’s so badly designed that (1) the people it’s meant to help oppose it, (2) the people who hate regulation support it, and (3) everyone …

TL;DR: Windscribe's founder was acquitted after a two-year legal fight over charges linked to an alleged internet offense involving a user of their VPN service. The case highlighted the challenges of privacy and legal accountability in the tech industry. schneier.com/blog/archives/202 #law #tech #legaltech ⚖️ 🤖 #autosum

Schneier on Security · Windscribe Acquitted on Charges of Not Collecting Users' Data - Schneier on SecurityThe company doesn’t keep logs, so couldn’t turn over data: Windscribe, a globally used privacy-first VPN service, announced today that its founder, Yegor Sak, has been fully acquitted by a court in Athens, Greece, following a two-year legal battle in which Sak was personally charged in connection with an alleged internet offence by an unknown user of the service. The case centred around a Windscribe-owned server in Finland that was allegedly used to breach a system in Greece. Greek authorities, in cooperation with INTERPOL, traced the IP address to Windscribe’s infrastructure and, unlike standard international procedures, proceeded to initiate criminal proceedings against Sak himself, rather than pursuing information through standard corporate channels...

I've moved around a bit, but decided to just run my own instance. I don't want to have to lose posts or move again for some reason.

I'm a software engineer and father who loves #nature and being #outdoors. I post mainly about #programming #tech and #opensource and try to be funny on occasion.

I work for Electronic Arts and don't represent them with anything I say here.

I'm also a member of @limeleaf and love helping #coops #foss

TL;DR: Texas's S.B. 2880 seeks to restrict access to information about medication abortion, raising significant free speech concerns by imposing penalties on online discussions and platforms hosting related content.

"Given that it was specifically done as a scientific experiment designed to change people’s minds on controversial topics, the experiment is one of the wildest and most troubling types of AI-powered incursions into human social media spaces we have seen or reported on."

Text from article: Given that it was specifically done as a scientific experiment designed to change people’s minds on controversial topics, the experiment is one of the wildest and most troubling types of AI-powered incursions into human social media spaces we have seen or reported on. “We feel like this bot was unethically deployed against unaware, non-consenting members of the public,” the moderators of r/changemyview told 404 Media. “No researcher would be allowed to experiment upon random members of the public in any other context.”
