“MESH networks use radio waves to create parallel communication networks. In societies that are increasingly under surveillance or where governments can block communication overnight, like in Iran, these decentralised and accessible networks can prove very useful. Tracks meets fans of off grid communication in London, Barcelona and near Bologna in Italy.” #meshtastic #LoRa ARTE

Key takeaways: •A security researcher claims the EU’s new age verification app can be bypassed in under two minutes due to design weaknesses. •The vulnerability reportedly allows attackers to reset authentication controls while retaining previously created identity credentials inside the application. •Critics argue the system stores security controls locally, making PIN limits, biometrics, and rate-limiting counters easily editable by users. •The European Commission says the open-source version is still a demo and will continue receiving updates before any final public rollout. https://cybernews.com/security/eu-age-verification-app-hack/

Holy Camel ! I just discovered there’s a whole bundle of Perl libraries to implement a Nostr client and a relay! Perl, my old love from the mid-90’s. I will try and experiment with it for nostalgia’s sake. (Maybe Claude will help me?)

Has anybody built a Discord equivalent on Nostr protocol yet? •Discord Will Require a Face Scan or ID for Full Access Discord will require users to verify their age via a face scan or ID to remove teen- appropriate restrictions starting next month. Unverified users will face limitations, including access to age-restricted servers, filters on content, and DMs from unknown users being filtered. Verification options include a video selfie analyzed by AI or submitting an ID, which will be processed by third-party vendors and typically* deleted after verification.

Pavel Durov, founder of Telegram: 🇪🇸 *My message to Telegram users in Spain* ❗️ Pedro Sánchez’s government is pushing dangerous new regulations that threaten your internet freedoms. Announced just yesterday, these measures could turn Spain into a surveillance state under the guise of “protection.” Here’s why they’re a red flag for free speech and privacy: 1. Ban on social media for under-16s with mandatory age verification: This isn’t just about kids—it requires platforms to use strict checks, like needing IDs or biometrics. ⚠️ Danger: It sets a precedent for tracking EVERY user’s identity, eroding anonymity and opening doors to mass data collection. What starts with minors could expand to all, stifling open discourse. 2. Personal and criminal liability for platform executives: If “illegal, hateful, or harmful” content isn’t removed fast enough, bosses face jail. ⚠️ Danger: This will force over-censorship—platforms will delete anything remotely controversial to avoid risks, silencing political dissent, journalism, and everyday opinions. Your voice could be next if it challenges the status quo. 3. Criminalizing algorithm amplification: Amplifying “harmful” content via algorithms becomes a crime. ⚠️ Danger: Governments will dictate what you see, burying opposing views and creating echo chambers controlled by the state. Free exploration of ideas? Gone—replaced by curated propaganda. 4. “Hate and polarization footprint” tracking: Platforms must monitor and report how they “fuel division.” ⚠️ Danger: Vague definitions of “hate” could label criticism of the government as divisive, leading to shutdowns or fines. This can be a tool for suppressing opposition. These aren’t safeguards; they’re steps toward total control. We’ve seen this playbook before—governments weaponizing “safety” to censor critics. On Telegram, we prioritize your privacy and freedom: strong encryption, no backdoors, and resistance to overreach. ✊ Stay vigilant, Spain. Demand transparency and fight for your rights. Share this widely—before it’s too late.
