Open and uncensored tribe for talking about anything tech related. Being competent with technology has gone from giving you an edge in the recent past to being a necessity in many fields today. As a result there are a lot more people interested in the various tech-related hobbies, here we have a free space to discuss such things.
@SwarmShawarma Potentially.
If you try to encrypt your icloud in the UK, you cant.
I'm waiting for this social media ID. When that comes, if I can't get free access via a VPN, I'm packing my social media.
Uploading ID for my online activity is a line I refuse to cross on principle.
Thankfully, TRP.red will fly under the radar for a while. But I suspect it won't be long before they come under the microscope of Ofcom for "misogyny" and either @redpillschool is forced to block the site for UK IP's, or a UK court order blocks the site.
But it's not just the UK. We're also seeing this kind of thing in US states, Europe and so on.
I have a genuine fear that the internet as it currently exists, may not exist for much longer.
As countries implement these kind of ID checks, censorship and rules - which sadly I see as inevitable at this point.
I fear that we will get to a point where, due to completely different rules, we end up with essentially different internets.
Why would a US site comply with UK law? And EU law? And Australian law?
They won't. And so US sites won't be accessible outside the US. Likewise UK site won't be accessible in the US.
Haven't really commented on this so far, but the situation re: the internet in the UK is starting to get really worrying now.
We've gone from ID for porn websites, to banning under 16s from social media (read: ID for social media), to now banning VPNs.
And in the background we've got Ofcom enforcing the Online Safety Act - a laughable law that should never have been passed. Making a laughing stock of us.
Apple has been blocked from allowing encryption on UK iPhones.
And now people are calling for X to be heavily censored or outright banned.
This has gone from 0 to 100 in only a few months, and sadly the vast majority of the public are cheering this on to mass applause.
Makes me seriously worried that our internet access will be seriously threatened.
German court has ordered Elon Musk’s X to provide data tied to Hungary’s upcoming parliamentary election, escalating tensions between the platform and European regulators enforcing the Digital Services Act. The case, driven by EU- and foreign-funded NGOs, has fuelled concerns in Budapest over external interference and political pressure ahead of the April vote.
@Bozza what's the news about TOR, can they block it?
Didnt hear about disallowing encryption on iPhone, what about androids, Signals, VeraCtypt, Linux etc
@Vermillion-Rx if that happens to me, I'm breaking in and parking the car as a public service
@Vermillion-Rx took you long enough to reply to that, fag
Okay, I know that I warn about how dystopian AI and skynet is going to be with death bots patrolling our streets and acting as law enforcement
But holy shit, retarded AI robotics dystopia is going to be a whole other issue. This poor dude getting triple-teamed by broken LiDar imprisoning him on his way to wherever
Imagine what's gonna happen when retard-programmed machines constantly misunderstand their tasks and instructions
