"TakeItDown Act has passed the #House 409-2 giving #Trump & the #FTC power to #censor the #internet.
The bill seems good at first glance. It requires online platforms to remove nonconsensual intimate imagery aka“revenge porn.”
However, it will also enable the FTC to demand #content be removed from websites.
In fact, Trump said he will use the bill ON HIS OWN BEHALF, presumably to remove criticism of him from the web."

Take It Down Act nears passage; critics warn #Trump could use it against enemies
An anti-deepfake bill is on the verge of becoming US law despite concerns from civil liberties groups that it could be used by President Trump and others to #censor speech that has nothing to do with the intent of the bill.

Why is Elon Musk Throttling the Signal App?
Links to a popular encrypted messaging app used by federal workers are being blocked on X.

"Self-professed free speech crusader #ElonMusk seems to be trying to #censor users on his own platform...
“Signal, the encrypted messaging #app, has recently become a major tool for #government workers looking to blow the whistle on #DOGE.” #Journalists also using #Signal to solicit tips from unhappy federal workers."
yes, when #Vance,
representing a #regime that operates with lists of #banned words to #censor scientific truth,
speaks of "#free speech", he means
let no regulation get in the way of the algorithmic spread of #fascism
let no democratic controls get in the way of our oligarchies (russia, us) buying your elections
let no fact-checking get in the way of our messages, designed to bring fear and hate,
as those two make such a fertile substrate for fascism

Via Tom's Hardware: Facebook flags Linux topics as 'cybersecurity threats' — posts and users being blocked
Does this mean that Meta/Facebook is going to also ban mentions of:
What an absolutely asinine thing to do. Linux is incredibly prevalent in the technology landscape today. Yes, #linux on the desktop is a small percentage of the overall devices on the market today. However, linux usage in #embedded, #server, and #appliance applications is to a level where censoring references to it is insanity.
The irony of all of this? Zuckerfaces recent pull back of moderation on Meta's sites.... Meaning it's now okay to bash socially vulnerable populations, spread tons of mis-information on many social and political topics... But linux?"Oh no! That's a #CyberSecurity threat!"
This reeks of political #tomfoolery. I won't be surprised if it's eventually revealed that our new overlords put pressure on #Meta to #censor linux.

#DigitalID Isn't for Everybody, and That's Okay
mDLs & digital IDs are being deployed faster than states can draft #privacy protections, including for presenting your ID to more third parties than ever before. While proponents of these digital schemes emphasize a convenience factor, these IDs can easily expand into new territories like controversial age verification bills that #censor everyone
