🇺🇸Georgia’s age verification law reinstated
$2,500 per violation
Parental consent for under-16s
Targeted advertising to minors banned
School devices and Wi-Fi restricted
An Emory law professor’s first-grade son has already bypassed school password protections, he didn't even need a VPN to get around age verification.
The UK Online Safety Act is not going to work. It is pushing the UK in the direction of a Digital ID and Chinese style internet censorship.
@anthonyrose interviewed NYM CEO @harryhalpin
They talked about why people need VPNs, how NymVPN works and the current landscape of UK internet censorship. ⤵️
The UK government's Online Safety Act is a national embarrassment. If you've been following the news, the UK government, under the guise of protecting children, is trying to force websites to require all UK users to provide passport or other ID in order to access content on those sites.
The way this plays out is websites and platforms will pull out of the UK, and then everyone will use a VPN to continue to access them as if they are in a different country. It take seconds to install a VPN, bypasses the government's efforts to control your access to the internet.
There's been talk of VPNs being banned, but that can't happen because banks and any number of companies rely on VPNs. More importantly, welcome to the next generation of distributed VPNs. Distributed VPN networks have no central control. And thanks to the code being open-sourced, anybody can create their own VPN network, there'll be thousands of websites you can download a VPN installer from.
Next-generation distributed VPNs just killed the Online Safety Act.
To explain how current and next-gen distributed VPNs work, I spoke to @harryhalpin, CEO at Switzerland-based @nym , a privacy-first VPN. I admire Harry's passion for protecting the core values of the internet against state control.
@prestonjbyrne you can add distributed VPNs to your list of reasons it won't work.

Encryption is everywhere now. The whole world leans on it without a second thought.
It wasn't always this way. In 1991, Phil Zimmermann released PGP and put strong encryption in anyone's hands. The US government treated it as a weapon and came after him for it.
This Global Encryption Day, Phil joins us on how we got from there to here, and whether the encryption we all rely on is safe today.

Liquid Network Restoration Update
With key technical milestones completed and network operations stable, user swap functionality is now restored with semi-automated swaps for Federation members. Normal peg and balance validation will be reinstated soon.
The Liquid Network’s members appreciate the broader Bitcoin community’s support and advocacy as we work to not only provide the restoration, but also harden the network’s security structure.

🇺🇸US Legal Status of Age Verfication
Georgia: age verification law reinstated. Still in litigation
Texas: App Store Accountability Act. Supreme Court let it stand
California: SB 976 signed. Being challenged by Meta, Google and TikTok
New York: SAFE for Kids Act. January 2027
Illinois: OS-level age verification signed. 2028

The legal map is moving in one direction
Every court challenge is buying time
Not changing the direction
