is Pit Bull a free speech absolutist too?

I wanted it for the whole world, but just me, being allowed to say whatever I want no matter who it offends anywhere I go, that’s something.

SHIT BALLS! Tiananmen square massacre! The WEF is full of evil narcissistic sociopaths!

See? free speech allows you to freely criticize things…especially government powers and corporate powers. Free speech laws exist specifically so you can say things that are going to rock the boat and upset people.

Free speech absolutism…world wide

Things that are in every threat model include, but are not limited to.

Surveillance from your internet provider and advertising companies its partnered with.

Surveillance from advertising companies partnered with websites you go to and online services you use.

People online who might try to doxx you if you say something they don’t like or win too much in a game

The owner of a malicious website getting your IP address from visiting it by accident.

If your internet provider or anyone else gives you the third degree about using a VPN or any other privacy-friendly alternatives to anything, just say all but the first one

oh and be mindful of internet providers using AI to find patterns in the packets you’re sending and receiving

I don’t know if they even have something that advanced whichever one sees it first just signals to the others “HEY! BIG FOOD! BRING IT TO NEST!” with urgency and then the others repeat the signal until all the gatherers start getting it then they all signal to go back to the nest with it.

Fortunately, human beings have individuality and independent thought. Embrace that, use your brain to think critically about everything you see and hear. The billionaires think of us like we’re ants, cogs in a machine, brainless drones that believe everything we’re told. Don’t be the way they want us to be

open brave browser > Stack of three pancakes to go to the settings > Shields menu > “Content Filtering” > Click on “show full list” > enable “bypass paywalls clean filters” > click “update lists” > back to the shields settings > Change the “trackers and ads blocking” to “aggressive” just for good measure

the way it is, it’s like whack-a-mole and if one of the mods on one of them bans people for a stupid reason, there’s all the others to go to

I disagree. Keep it the way it is without any automation like that

Brave has a filter list you can enable that works great at bypassing paywalls on news websites

Signal has quantum resistant encryption and PFS, they’re not going to have an easy time breaking it

Brave

I really hope the people who made or at least the ones who maintain grayjay, invidious and piped get to work on bypassing age restriction.

I really want to the internet to go back to the way it was 15 years ago, where nothing was so insanely restricted or controlled.

I hate that all the rich elites of the world are using Orwellian novels as instruction manuals

not anymore, fiddled with it, it worked without being signed in once, now it doesn’t work

Why does youtube suck so much? only a few years ago it was so much easier to access from anything. And now it’s way more restricted

Sail out on the grand line for that movie.

Mullvad, iVPN and protonVPN all make good…ships, to sail with

Telegram is not private or secure.

One encryption key can unlock the entire service

Mullvad has ways of mimicking HTTP traffic, but no way to totally and completely blend in like obscura says they can

I continued looking at their website after I made my comment, it uses mullvad’s proxies as exit points

I see on Obscura’s website that their whole thing is making the VPN traffic look like all other traffic

Is mullvad going to get to use any of that stuff now that they’re partnered?

On top of all that, it’s based on Chromium, which means that Google is in control of their upstream source code.

you can turn off the google stuff

Sending DNS requests to the local ISP when in TOR mode effectively removing protection against spying

there’s other ways of using TOR, and I don’t even think they do that anymore, they fixed the problem after the criticism came out

Installing an extra VPN service on Windows machines without user consent

Been using Brave for over 6 years now, that never happened on any of my machines

Replacing ads on websites with their own, and collecting that revenue

they don’t do that anymore, and honestly, I’d rather have it that way than allow google or facebook or any other website to have more money, but adblocking needs to be multi-layered anyway.
