🚨BREAKING: The Government announces all UK phones will require ID and surveillance software
This means that Britons will be left with CHILD-LOCKED devices unless they comply with digital ID checks
Protecting children is a noble goal, but the government mandating that all phones come with surveillance software is a crossing of the Rubicon that would make the UK one of the most authoritarian internet regimes in the world

Revolut recently banned using GrapheneOS without any justification. They're falsely claiming to do be doing it for security reasons. In reality, they're enforcing licensing Google Play. Revolut doesn't enforce security standards. It runs on Android 9 with no patches since 2018.

Monero Update: Changes to Direct Payments
Due to EU MiCA and incoming AMLR compliance requirements, we can no longer accept Monero directly.
It's still available through our resellers.

For those who don’t wish to visit the URL:
“This was a difficult but necessary decision. As an EU-based company, we're subject to the EU's Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA), which imposes strict compliance requirements on financial institutions handling crypto assets. This is compounded by the incoming Anti-Money Laundering Regulation (AMLR), which will formally ban privacy coins like Monero from EU-regulated platforms from July 2027. Banks are already de-risking ahead of that deadline, and our banking partner is no longer willing to support our account while we continue accepting Monero directly. Alternative banks have declined to work with us for the same reason.
Monero is still available through our resellers, so it hasn't been removed as a payment option, just moved off our direct platform.
We know this is inconvenient and we're sorry for the disruption. Thanks for your understanding.”

On Thursday, the European Parliament votes on Chat Control 1 (the voluntary scanning, not the mandatory scanning, called Chat Control 2). Again.
The Parliament has already voted against Chat Control 1. Two times. But the Council of Ministers and the Parliament President refuse to accept it.
Now, the Council has demanded an urgent procedure. This is a procedure that is meant to be used for new legislative proposals, not proposals that the Parliament has already rejected. An urgent procedure requires an absolute majority to be rejected (361 out of the Parliament's 720 members). This will be difficult to reach, since those who abstain from voting are counted as a yes-vote in an urgent procedure. By scheduling the vote during the summer, they are making it even harder to reach those 361 no-votes. This is downright dirty tactic by the Council and the President of the European Parliament.
The President of the European Parliament has sided with the Council against her own chamber. For context, this is the EP President, Roberta Metsola:

Great meeting film legend, entrepreneur and all round good guy Ashton Kutcher @aplusk at @Europarl_EN today to discuss Europe's efforts to protect children.
Grateful for his tireless commitment and determination in the fight against child abuse and trafficking.
Trustpilot's review of a death threat and racial slur left against us: 'doesn't go against our guidelines.'
Good job @Trustpilot for allowing this very informative 1* review.

This is a Trojan horse that will eliminate privacy on the internet.
Why not make devices just for kids if you want to protect them? Why KYC every single person on the internet?
Because this is about control, not children.
PASSED: the KIDS Act requires age verification on obscene websites, sets nationwide standards enforced by the FTC, and empowers parents, while letting states pass even stronger child protections.
Thank you @RepGuthrie!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Note absolutely needed. Don't use CNs to push and allow these people to censor the internet and Control Citizen's Lives.
A CN is absolutely needed ro expose the lies and trojan horse that is this bill.

Shameless @AMD
AMD has quietly removed the security feature called Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) from consumer Ryzen processors via newer BIOS firmware updates.
This encrypts data stored in RAM, making it harder for someone with physical access to steal information
The hardware remains capable of supporting the feature, which is still available on Ryzen Pro and EPYC processors. Users discovered the change only after updating their BIOS and noticing that memory encryption was no longer available.
Many users feel AMD should have clearly explained the change, especially since some systems lost the feature after firmware updates.
AMD has not provided a public explanation for removing memory encryption from consumer Ryzen CPUs.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.
There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.
When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).
The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.
Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.
Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.
The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.
The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.
