Warrant Canary for May, 2021 -

[Lurk McDurk]

Why the fuck does Russia even care? They did far worse shit to their own citizens during, before and after the war.

They are clearly afraid of the fourth reich brewing organically in Minecraft youtube channels and wehraboo reddit/forum posts.

 

[artilleryfroth]

Wait.

Birds?

Canary in the coal mine, I assume. An old fashioned way for miners to know the air was getting bad. I am sure google will help.

I like that russia has what amounts to an automated service because they probably have a few ultranationalists who call in and complain.

"WHY I CAN SEE HITLER ON MY COMPUTER?"
"HE IS DRESS AS SANTA IN RED LIKE GLORIOUS COMMUNIST RUSSIA STATE?"
"NO ACCEPTABLE."

You think this USA legal order involves Russia why..?

 

[0gh]

Because of this part of the canary
"The Kiwi Farms has received two letters from Russia's ROSKOMNADZOR requesting
the deletion memes depicting Hitler dressed as Santa saying "ho ho holocaust".
We receive this request every few weeks."
Did you not read it?

That’s not a legal order and has nothing to do with 1776, did you not read it?

Where did I say it was a legal order, or have anything to do with 1776. i said i thought it was funny that russia had a computer system sending that to null. Fucking retard.

To people unfamiliar with intricacies of Russian internet moderation, RKN is a bunch of self-righteous clerks who would arbitrarily try to ban anything containing forbidden content ranging from understandably immoral or dangerous things like cheese pizza and bomb making tutorials to clapping a website for uploading a copy of a book whose author is particularly butthurt about copyright.
The problem is that instead of limiting the access to pieces of content illegal in the country, they just cut the access completely for utterly asinine reasons and, what's worse, they can use many excuses to ban sites that government finds unfavourable in some way. Tumblr got blocked for a tutorial on how to make a noose, Telegram almost got blocked because terrorists may have used it for message encryption, 4pda (the largest forum about phones and other tech) got blocked because someone posted a stream of a sports game, a kiwi-like gossip forum got blocked for posting
info about a governmental worker's affair, and RKN even tried to make using all torrents and VPNs illegal. Just to give you an example of their antics, so it's not just getting their panties in a twist over funny images of a famous Austrian man.
It was unbelievably frustrating when I needed to access some completely innocent tech website for a uni project, but the access to it was blocked. I don't care - I always use a VPN now and don't have problems with that crap anymore, but my relatives and acquaintances treat me like some sort of technowizard for showing them how to access blocked sites. And it just keeps getting worse.
TLDR: Shit sucks, get ready for Iron Curtain 2.0

Dedicated mods prevent glow in the darks retards spew here and cause subpoenas. Same applies to anything that might cause stir in roskomnadzor. Even people in Ukraine and other former soviet shitholes with corrupt governments like Serbia and rest of former Yugoslavia. Even "free" countries like censor and take down content that is racist and disgruntled ex police who dumped crime statistics, which list races and country of origin of convicted criminals, which is illegal in Sweden. Bullshit cyber bullying laws and bending over to five eyes.
Average do not know how to get around paywalls, my peers can't even fucking grasp basics of privacy, types of privacy and how to fuck with data miners, poofing browser client, OS. Doubling TOR with VPNs.

Fuck my friends who live in Belgium. Because of Brussel the centerpiece of USSR 2.0 the government has literal off switch for internet and they filter TOR heavily and probe to VPNs and want them illegal, due to the fact inner politics of EU is shady as fuck and people who uncover and I'm not kidding

TLDR, people are fucked on other side of the wall since EU is building another wall next to another to prevent "Russian misinformation"

It's almost funny supposedly free world looks more like soviet union with communism lite; many flavors of socialism.

This is fine with me. It used to be the process of getting online itself was a semi-effective retard filter, but at least that kind of thing intimidates normies enough to keep them off sites like this. Note, though, it seems to be a consensus that combining TOR with VPNs is not a good idea. Frankly, I have yet to be convinced by the arguments about this, but whatever. I think at the very least it is unlikely to add much security, and some seem to believe it can actually introduce more risks.

Do you think VPN use on its own is a problem?

 

[AnOminous]

Do you think VPN use on its own is a problem?

No, not at all. If you do anything remotely likely to result in retaliation, even if it's just civil bullshit, you should use a VPN. No-log is preferable but you can't necessarily trust a VPN's claims. This is, I believe, why people sometimes prefer the VPN+TOR setup. I'm not really qualified to judge the technical arguments for why this is a bad idea despite not being convinced by them.

I’ve just been told recently that TOR makes things more dangerous. I haven’t done it and don’t plan to.

There's literally nothing illegal about TOR, or the deep web for that matter, and anyone trying to tell you otherwise is fearmongering.

Not illegal, but I was told it was more likely to be compromised.

Well... there's certainly illegal stuff to be found there and it's illegal in some totalitarian shitholes, but more or less correct.

Unfortunately this isn't entirely true; The first part, at least. There's pretty much as much illegal stuff on the clear web as their is on the deep web. Outside of places where VPNs and TOR are illegal, the deep web itself isn't really inherently evil. It's just kind of painted that way, for what I could probably say are obvious reasons.

There's certainly more total illegal stuff on the clearnet, but probably more percentage wise on the onion network. It's not like you're gonna see it with any kind of caution though. It's not a reason to avoid tor.
Using tor to view clearnet sites isn't particularly secure though. Stick to onion or use a VPN.

 

[waffle]

Even if it's mostly illegal shit on the onions who cares? Thats no reason to stay off it if there's something you want there. It's just a thing they say to try and suppress information. It's like the "bit torrent should be banned" thing from a decade ago.
