【#Chatcontrol: il Parlamento europeo può salvare le nostre chat crittografate?】
"Se i danesi dovessero riuscire a farla passare a ottobre, la nostra unica possibilità è che il Parlamento difenda la crittografia nei negoziati del trilogo", ha dichiarato a TechRadar Callum Voge, direttore degli Affari governativi e della difesa presso l'Internet Society.
Dopo oltre tre anni di lavoro, il destino delle chat crittografate in Europa è tutt'altro che deciso. Il 12 settembre 2025, gli Stati membri dell'UE hanno dovuto condividere la loro posizione definitiva sull'ultima versione della proposta di Regolamento sugli abusi sessuali sui minori (CSAR).
Ancora una volta, il disegno di legge non è riuscito a ottenere il sostegno necessario. La versione danese di ciò che i critici hanno definito Chat Control richiederebbe a tutti i fornitori di servizi di messaggistica operanti in Europa di analizzare le chat degli utenti, anche se crittografate, nel tentativo di rilevare e bloccare la diffusione di materiale pedopornografico (CSAM).

【Internet è una macchina di manipolazione: attento a non interpretare il burattino nella guerra di propaganda di qualcun altro.】
Siamo più polarizzati che mai. Le conversazioni si sono trasformate in litigi. Le idee contrastanti sembrano minacce, non qualcosa su cui discutere.
Ma c'è una cosa che molti non capiscono: privacy e sorveglianza sono strettamente collegate. La maggior parte delle persone non riesce mai a collegare questi puntini.

【X di Elon Musk potrebbe finalmente risolvere la causa di buonuscita da 500 milioni di dollari】
@lavoro@feddit.it
Dopo aver acquistato Twitter nel 2022, Musk ha licenziato oltre 6.000 dipendenti di Twitter, riducendo l'organico dell'azienda di circa l'80%. Sebbene Musk abbia offerto tre mesi di buonuscita, la causa sostiene che molti ex dipendenti non hanno ricevuto pagamenti completi, mentre alcuni non hanno ricevuto alcun pagamento.

The LAPD attacked reporters, despite a court order. Then it lied about it
Last Friday, officers from the Los Angeles Police Department beat, shoved, detained, and jailed journalists covering a protest over the previous detention of a community activist who had been documenting immigration officers.
It was a brutal and shocking attack on the press, even by the LAPD’s standards. Even before scores of journalists were attacked and detained at recent immigration raid protests, the force had one of the most atrocious track records when it comes to press freedom. The LAPD is also subject to a court order prohibiting it from interfering with journalists covering protests, which it appears to have wantonly violated.
What’s almost as shocking is how little attention these recent attacks have drawn from the mainstream media. Even five days later, the hometown Los Angeles Times, for instance, hadn’t yet written about Friday’s attack on the press. Thankfully, an out-of-town columnist, Will Bunch at the Philadelphia Inquirer, published an article strongly condemning the LAPD’s actions.
But even worse than ignoring the attacks on the press is reporting false information about them spread by the LAPD. Unfortunately, California station KABC-TV appears to have done just that, by reporting uncritically on claims by the LAPD that two people were detained at the protest for “pretending to be media.”
The two were, in fact, journalists, according to reporter Mel Buer, who was at the protest and was also detained, and Adam Rose, who’s been exhaustively tracking the recent attacks for the Los Angeles Press Club. Rose’s tracking spreadsheet identifies the detained journalists as Nate Gowdy and Carrie Schreck.
The U.S. Press Freedom Tracker reported that LAPD officers detained Gowdy and Schreck, who were working together to report on the protest, because they didn’t have physical press badges.
A lack of physical press credentials isn’t a good enough reason to stop a journalist from reporting under the First Amendment, and it certainly isn’t a good enough reason under the order entered by a federal judge in response to a lawsuit by the Los Angeles Press Club restraining the LAPD’s mistreatment of journalists covering protests. Even guidance from the LAPD’s chief of police says that a lack of credentials isn’t enough to justify a detention.
Instead, officers should have considered all the evidence that Gowdy and Schreck were at the protest to gather the news, like the statements from other credentialed reporters who vouched for them, their camera equipment, and Gowdy’s offer to show digital credentials or prove through a quick Google search that he and Schreck were journalists. And if they were still in doubt, officers were required to grant Gowdy and Schreck’s requests to speak to a supervisor.
KABC-TV, which calls itself the “West Coast flagship” of Disney’s ABC-owned TV station group, also should have known better than to simply repeat a statement from the LAPD that people were arrested for “pretending” to be press.
The government often makes this claim and uses it as a justification for why it “can’t” respect the First Amendment rights of journalists and simply must continue to beat and terrorize them along with protesters. But research has shown that protesters or others claiming to be press is rare. Any time government officials make this claim, journalists should be skeptical and investigate it before reporting it.
Journalists must bring a healthy dose of skepticism to any statements by the LAPD about its treatment of the press. The LAPD knows that it violates the First Amendment and California law to detain or otherwise interfere with journalists covering protests, but it continues to do so anyway.
It seems to prefer to risk contempt of court or massive settlements rather than respect the First Amendment, and it apparently has no compunction about making false statements to the press about its actions.
The only response available to journalists — other than suing to enforce their rights — is to report, accurately, on every single First Amendment violation by the LAPD. If they do, perhaps the citizens of Los Angeles will make clear to elected officials and law enforcement leaders that they won’t tolerate their police force acting in such a lawless manner.

Individuo, società e svolte autoritarie.
Esistono condizioni psicologiche, familiari, sociali e tecnologiche favorevoli all’instaurarsi di una forma politica autoritaria e totalitaria? Esiste un potenziale fascista in ognuno di noi oppure il “fascismo potenziale” si dà solo in presenza di una determinata struttura di personalità, quella autoritaria studiata dalla scuola di Francoforte nella prima metà del secolo scorso? Un tipo di personalità, quest’ultima, caratterizzata da un insieme di atteggiamenti, credenze e comportamenti che riflettono una forte inclinazione verso l’autorità, la disciplina e il conformismo, insieme a una tendenza a disprezzare o discriminare chi viene percepito come diverso o inferiore.

Endorsed! Timothy Grady for Ohio!
During last Sunday’s Pirate National Committee meeting, members voted to endorse the campaign of Timothy Grady, independent candidate for Governor of Ohio in his 2026 gubernatorial race.
Having joined out meeting, which you can catch the recap of here, Mr. Grady gave us his best pitch for not only why we should endorse his campaign, but also an opportunity for Ohio voters to hear from the independent candidate.
After a long meeting and opportunity to ask questions, the decision was unanimous: the US Pirate Party will support the Grady campaign!
You can see the official announcement from Timothy Grady’s page here.
It should be noted that Tim Grady is not running as a proxy of the Ohio Pirate Party (which is active but unofficial), nor is the Grady campaign strictly a Pirate campaign. The United States Pirate Party values honest campaigns, person-first agendas and anyone who fights for free and open.
The 2026 election cycle will feature explicitly Pirate candidates, running as independents, DINOS/RINOS and explicitly as Pirates. While Timothy Grady is not one of those Pirate candidates, we are happy to throw our support towards a candidate who shares our values.
Ohio, you have a chance to say “Enough is enough”.
Timothy Grady, Victory is Arrrs

Any tool BPD uses will feed into the Boston Regional Information Center (BRIC) and Federal agencies such as ICE, CBP and the FBI.
If you want to tell the Boston Public Safety committee to oppose this expansion of surveillance, please show up on the 19th virtually. Details are posted, but to sign up to speak, email [ccc.ps@boston.gov](mailto:ccc.ps@boston.gov) and they will send you a video conference link. We especially encourage Boston Pirates to attend and speak against this proposal. The Docket # is 1357.
