New: Google has chosen a side in Trump's mass deportation campaign. Google is hosting a CBP facial recognition app to hunt immigrants; no indication Google will remove. At same time Google takes down apps for reporting ICE sightings

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike.

Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year.

Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

There it is. Just as we warned you since 2016. As those who pay attention have screamed about for an entire decade, when the Russians hacked both the RNC & DNC, there is no way the Kremlin & FSB didn't know about this and other, similar incidents.

Fantastic reporting by @jkbjournalist.bsky.social.

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.

Tighter government control of the internet is, of course, the natural outgrowth of initial failed attempts to control the internet.

In fact, in some cases, that initial failure is entirely expected and built into the plan. In the US, AV advocates said early on they knew initial bans wouldn't work.

Politically it's easier to pass the less onerous restrictions, the ones that just seem like common sense — "like flashing your ID at a liquor store!" The government builds a moral panic, then promises its easily solvable.

That panic, once taken hold, now provides cover for bolder restrictions.

I'll give you a US example:.

The main age-verification lobbyist — a man who largely believes porn should be outlawed — admitted the state-level bills he pushed for won't work and were really a predicate for federal action.

He wants the DOJ to seize domains.

Now, it's hard to campaign on "The US government should seize millions of foreign domains and build a Great Firewall."

But passing bills that are doomed to fail gives you years to rile up a societal panic. When the laws don't work, you blame porn again. At which point, maybe people are ready.

I hate when people look at something and judge by face value, then when you, say, show videos, they respond with

"oh I won't be watching that"

like what's even the point of having said anything to begin with, why bother engaging at all if you won't even give it the slightest bit of your time.
