- Comment on Where can I report mod abuse? 1 week ago:
yes, online, on these internets, defending yourself is a waste of your time and energy.
Let’s say that they were rude. Wouldn’t it be a better solution to block them and go do something else, instead of spending all this time on these 2 threads and pMessages and screenshots
What were you defending yourself from? A disagreement on a lemmy thread 🙄 on a relatively inconsequential subject 🤦
Daily life is abrasive enough; if lemmy became another source of stress for you, just cut it off.

- Comment on Brazilian court orders suspension of Elon Musk’s X after it missed deadline 2 weeks ago:
some authorities try to use metadata for prosecution, yes, but it doesn’t suffice. They have to correlate undeniably that metadata and whatever information they may have collected from other nonencrypted platforms.
one entry node on TOR that collects the crumbles that passes through this node… good luck to anybody trying to make sense of that mess.
I’ve been following these cases for years now, you write “i’m not trying to educate”, but it seems like you’re trying to inform the clueless among us about the dangers of using VPN or TOR. With a claim like that, it would be nice to have some reliable sources linked in your comments
- Comment on Brazilian court orders suspension of Elon Musk’s X after it missed deadline 2 weeks ago:
TOR, you write. How are they going to block TOR?
when a government blocks one vpn server, another sprouts in its place. Not like some governments aren’t trying. Yes, they “give trouble” to some people in some places for VPN or TOR use but that may be preferable to those people compared to what they may have to go through if their connection wasn’t encrypted.
here the question was about blocking VPNetworks to prevent Xitter use and that sounded implausible (the judge also have understood this afterwards).
VPNs can be blocked by governments or worse, the data can be decrypted giving you a false sense of security.
How would they decrypt this data without having access to the VPN server itself (or probably your device)?
- Comment on Brazilian court orders suspension of Elon Musk’s X after it missed deadline 2 weeks ago:
censorship of what? Twitter, now X?
when i was on twitter, before elon took it over, i remember reporting many openly fascist accounts and they used to regularly go down (to reappear under a different name with some new numbers attached). Hate speech, racist slurs, calls to violence… verbal scum. You call taking that shit down “censorship”?
Justice Alexandre de Moraes had issued a court order forcing the site formerly known as Twitter to block several users as part of his investigation into the former president Jair Bolsonaro’s attempts to stay in power after his 2022 election defeat.

it looks like they’re trying to protect their democracy? Shutting down a coup and it’s enablers (sounds familiar?) isn’t censorship.
- Comment on Brazilian court orders suspension of Elon Musk’s X after it missed deadline 2 weeks ago:
can you elaborate?
as it is, your comment is not comprehensible. Whose marketing? Marketing for VPN? “Magic bullet” for what purpose?
- Comment on Brazilian court orders suspension of Elon Musk’s X after it missed deadline 3 weeks ago:
musk has no problems with taking down political opponents’ xitter accounts when the request is coming from “right wing” governments (rather authoritarian or far-right)
he doesn’t care about freedom of speech, he only cares about his kind of speech. If he refused all take down requests, i would agree with you
- Comment on Brazilian court orders suspension of Elon Musk’s X after it missed deadline 3 weeks ago:
sounds feasible except the “blocking the use of vpn apps” part?

- Comment on Telegram repeatedly refused to join child protection schemes 3 weeks ago:
Systemic racism and religious discrimination persisted, including against Muslim women and girls. Racial profiling continued with impunity. Excessive restrictions on protests and excessive use of force by police continued. Mass protests and unrest followed the killing of a 17-year-old boy of Algerian descent by police at a traffic stop. Racist, xenophobic and anti-LGBTI vandalism and violent attacks were frequently reported. Parliament passed highly controversial new laws authorizing the use of mass video surveillance technology by law enforcement and introducing discriminatory immigration, nationality and asylum restrictions.

Pourquoi était-il sous la menace d’un mandat de recherche ?
La Justice considère que l’absence de modération, de coopération avec les forces de l’ordre et les outils proposés par Telegram (numéro jetable, cryptomonnaies…) le rend complice de trafic de stupéfiants, d’infractions pédocriminels et d’escroquerie.
Ce mandat de recherche courait si, et seulement si, Pavel Durov se trouvait sur le territoire national.
En effet, Telegram est une ruche pour les contenus criminels. En ce moment, la plateforme fait l’actualité avec la diffusion illégale des matchs de Ligue 1. Mais sur cette messagerie chiffrée, de nombreux comptes sont utilisés par la criminalité organisée. Au-delà du terrorisme, les plus dangereux pédocriminels communiquent sur Telegram pour échanger des contenus. “C’est devenu depuis des années LA plateforme numéro 1 pour le crime organisé”, commente un enquêteur.
even if it’s not about telegram, this might help to understand ☞ laquadrature.net/…/encryption-discussion-during-t…
Several of the defendants were questioned about their use of tools and software such as Signal, Tor and Tails, and about the encryption of their computers and hard drives. The questioning followed the same pattern as the prosecution’s investigations, which we revealed a few months ago: a huge amount of confusion as to the technical understanding of these tools combined with a suspicious approach to their actual use. Three defendants were questioned about their motivation for using such software, as if a well-argued justification was needed, even though the tools are perfectly normal, legal and ordinary.
“It is possible and not forbidden to have these tools, but we can ask ourselves why dissimulate information” the president of the court stated. Suspicion of clandestinity coupled with little knowledge of the subject was evident in their questions: “You explain that the use of this ‘kind of network’ [Signal] was to preserve your privacy, but are you afraid of being monitored?”. Or: “Why did you think it was important or a good idea to find out about this ‘kind of environment’ [the Tails operating system]?”.

- Comment on YouTube Not Accessible Across Russia. 1 month ago:
Russia’s problems lie in the attitude of the overwhelming majority of its people, not in the lack of access to information. They make a conscious and fully informed choice to be genocidal imperialists and embrace authoritarianism.
“they”?
what happens to dissidents in Putin’s Russia? It’s easy to criticize a repressed population when you’re not risking anything.
were all U.S. citizens responsible for the invasion of iraq? In U.S. where you don’t disappear for criticising the government and it’s choices, what difference did that freedom of speech make for Iraqis?
Where in the so called “west” do people keep buying from Putin’s Russia through cloaked trade?
while we’re on the subject of “genocidal imperialists embracing authoritarianism”, who are the greatest sponsors of one of the longest running apartheid regime? Is “the attitude of the overwhelming majority of its people” the cause of this genocidal apartheid?
nuances! “Overwhelming majority” is just trying to get by. Most people are not power hungry psychopaths. If Putin, Netanyahu and some more of their ilk died today, world would be a better place tomorrow.
