Please continue making calls to Visa and Mastercard, because they are working alongside conservative legislators to crack down on free speech and expression!
A dual pronged offense requires a dual pronged defense!
It’s evident that Denmark is adamant on resurrecting the proposal so many times it gets vetoed. I suggest we start ramping up protests against countries that support it, particularly through boycotts?
I think there is more that can be done, but that is what I can think of off the top of my head.
EU folks! Contact your MEPs and denand they oppose Chat Control!

themselves and their backers as much as possible. I’m looking to help organize in whatever way I can, even if I have no bearing on local politics. Right now, the effort is more of a ‘We get there when we get there’ approach.
If anyone is good with infographics, I would like to ask for your help.
So far, the intent is to discourage these laws from passing, and pressure for their repealment, or replacement of the government’s officials by whatever means necessary. We should NOT tolerate the overreach by the state into our private lives, and must actively look to detach ourselves from…
With the rampant rise in #BigBrother laws, I say it is time we start a campaign. We start by educating the general public. I would like to find someone to help make infographics. The other thing is compiling a list of companies in countries that people do business with for the purpose of a boycott.
URGENT: To all my European followers, I bring bad news: apparently Denmark is now trying to make a last minute push to pass chat control. The vote is tomorrow, so make sure you contact your MEPs and say NO to the proposal. fightchatcontrol.eu

I just had a realization: every generation has its own form of brainrot: one such example with the Dada movement that started in the late 1910s and lived on until the 1920s-30s. It could best be summed up as your (great) grandparents’ brainrot. It was largely surrealist in expression.

Even the slightest acts of resistance can snowball into a revolution.
Their cruelty gives us tools to use against them. Feel free to take photos, disseminate the truth in whatever way you can, be it via the web, or in person. AI may be able to fabricate disinfo, but if there is one thing that I have learned, it can never re-create the actual events perfectly.
is the paradox of repression: a phenomenon that occurs when authoritarian regimes crack down, and it ultimately increases support for the protests and overall opposition, eroding support for the ruling powers. So in a nutshell, start using their violence as a means to put them on blast.
were ousted as a result of constant unrest by the general population, and the stunning figure is that only a small percentage of the total population is enough to continue with that disruption (approx. 3.5% of a country’s population). If the regime cracks down on it, then the next thing I learned…
With the rise of authoritarianism all over, and with countries like the US and UK speedrunning totalitarianism, I’d say it is important that we look to some of our most effective tools against the regimes. The first one is nonviolent protest. Of a number of case studies done, most autocracies…
I have recently been reading ip on opposition to dictatorships lately. A few things recently came out to me. A thread:
I tried joining, but the server link is dead. You got a new one that works?
so many dead canaries and we just keep on mining
I’ve got a few projects in the works, one of them is fediverse. In the future, I am looking to set up my own Mastodon and Synapse instances. Just trying to do my homework on what I am going to need to get both of them running. If I do need hardware, I would at least prefer it to be on my own gear.
e-6695 (Consumer protection) Keywords Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography E-petition Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario Original language of petition: English Petition details Petition to the House of Commons Whereas: Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content; In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites; As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”; As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to 1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services; 2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and 3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.
The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.
This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!
