A really interesting and practical project from the #Guardian Project called #ButterBox is worth knowing about.

ButterBox is a portable, fully offline device (usually running on a Raspberry Pi). When you turn it on, it creates its own local Wi-Fi network. Anyone nearby can connect and access a set of tools without any internet connection:

• An offline app store (based on F-Droid)
• File, video, book and educational content sharing
• And most importantly — secure encrypted chat

What makes this project especially powerful is its deep integration with #deltachat The ButterBox team uses the MadMail server to run a local Chatmail Relay inside the box.

Users can create an offline account with just a single QR scan or one tap and immediately start using fully end-to-end encrypted messaging. Even when there’s no internet at all, messages, groups and files can be exchanged securely between people.

This is where DeltaChat really shines: decentralized, no central servers, real encryption, and designed for difficult conditions.
Combined with ButterBox, it becomes a genuine tool for secure communication during internet shutdowns, in remote areas, or in crisis situations.

It’s a pity that this project still isn’t widely known or deployed in Iran. The good news is that it’s completely open source and can be set up with a regular Raspberry Pi and an SD card. Pre-built images are also available, which makes the process even easier.

For anyone interested in privacy, offline communication, and tools that keep working when the internet goes down, ButterBox is one of the most valuable projects around right now.

Age verification processes are dangerous to Canadians ⚠️🧵

Unfortunately, there is no magical solution: A ban of social media for children necessarily means a requirement to identify every adult using social media. This means that intrusive age-verification processes would have to be put in place by social media platforms, therefore collecting an immense quantity of very sensitive information from every Canadian adult using social media.

This is dangerous in many ways.

First, it means many (if not most) platforms will delegate this task to private for-profit third-party vendors with little to no incentive to protect this information properly. We have already seen data breaches of sensitive information in this process. This would increase the risk of Canadians becoming victims of identity theft and fraud, and would diminish the value of Canadian identification documents over time.

Secondly, this can create a permanent record of legal identities tied to social media accounts. This would endanger users who rely on pseudonymity online for safety, such as victims of domestic violence, trans and gender diverse people (for whom the legal identification might not match the name used on social media), performers using stage names online, and other people that are part of marginalized groups regularly targeted online (women, people of colour, 2SLGBTQ+ people, etc.).

All these vulnerable groups would only be one data breach away from incredible harm with the implementation of mandatory identity checks to access social media.

Furthermore, risking to link every social media account to a legal identity can have a silencing effect for activists, journalists, and whistleblowers. This can lead to self-censorship of topics important to discuss publicly in a free democracy.

A thread to Stop ID Surveillance from coming to Canada ⛔️🧵

Yesterday, I sent a long letter to the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Culture Minister Marc Miller, and the leaders of all other major federal parties in Canada.

I sent this letter to voice my concerns about the upcoming bill that is planned to be introduced today at 5 p.m. ET, to propose a ban of social media for children, therefore requiring all social media platforms to identify every adults accessing it.

This is a long thread of what I wrote (mute me for one hour if you don't want to see it).

Feel free to copy any parts you want to share in your own letter of opposition sent to your representatives this week.

Here's how to find their contact information: ourcommons.ca/members/en/searc…

Do not provide your ID or facial scan to access social media.

I repeat, do NOT provide your ID or facial scan to access social media when requested.

This is not a drill.

If everyone refuse to comply, and let their accounts dormant instead, I promise you the platforms themselves, with their immense budget and network of lobbyists, are going to fight these absurd laws to recover their users.

They need you more than you need them.
Make them fight for your rights.
Do not comply.
Spread the word and boycott ID checks ✊

@Ayzacoder: Attention if you have a Gmail account:

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Age Verification isn't a technical problem to solve. If you think that, you're missing the point.

It's a social problem used by authoritarian governments as an excuse for population control and censorship.

It's a fundamental attack on free speech and democracy.

It must not be accommodated.
It must be stopped.

据央视新闻报道,当地时间7月21日,法国国民议会和参议院正式通过一项禁止15岁以下未成年人使用社交媒体的法案。这项法案被视为法国总统马克龙本届任期的重要改革之一。

根据法案,禁令将分两个阶段执行:自9月1日起,15岁以下未成年人将不得注册新的社交媒体账号;自2027年1月起,现有属于15岁以下未成年人的社交媒体账号也将被暂停或关闭。法案并未规定对违反禁令的未成年人、家长与社交媒体公司施加惩罚。

另据美国《纽约时报》报道,根据该法律条款,社交媒体平台需自行使用年龄验证系统过滤未成年用户。但这一禁令也有例外,即允许年轻人访问具有教育目的的在线百科全书或其他数字服务。

reCAPTCHA 的新验证方式要求用户使用摄像头录制其手部移动的视频。

- Google 称此验证方式通过识别 21 个手部关节位点进行人类验证。
- Google Cloud 的文档宣称视频只用于验证目的,识别完成后即被删除。
- 科技评论及 Twitter/Reddit 网友则对依赖摄像头的验证码表示担忧。

Next Monday, the EU decides on Chat Control 2.0. Will they let the Trojan Horse through the gate and let Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn etc continue to scan all your messages?

We at Tuta say NO.

❌ No scanning
❌ No mass surveillance
❌ No age verification

Instead we fight for:

✅ Encryption
✅ Privacy
✅ Open Source

And so should the EU. Call your local representatives! 🥊

Privacy is not negotiable. Speak up now. ✊ #Privacy


《卫报》消息,英国首相基尔·斯塔默周一表示,苹果和谷歌在 9 月之前必须安装可在儿童所使用的手机上拦截露骨图片的软件,否则将面临立法措施以强制推行这一要求。

基尔·斯塔默表示,科技公司必须在智能手机和平板电脑上激活裸体检测算法或其他技术解决方案,以防止用户拍摄或分享生殖器图片,除非他们被验证为成年人。

如果企业未能在三个月内遵守规定,英国将出台立法,要求在所有销售的手机和平板电脑上添加保护措施。 未能做到这一点的科技公司可能面临罚款,其高级管理人员可能承担刑事责任。

民权组织对科技公司即将推出的变革表示担忧,这些变革可能威胁匿名性和隐私。Big Brother Watch 主任西尔基·卡洛表示,这些计划可能“宣告匿名性和互联网隐私的死亡”。
