I want to share an important article from the The Tor Project about how Turkmenistan turned internet censorship into a business 🧵
Officials block access to the open internet—then sell it back at a price. Tor, being free and effective, became a threat to their profit model 🔐
When censors become dealers, censorship becomes extortion.

1/3 🕵🏽 Looking for updates on the highly criticised and controversial #CSARegulation#ChatControl
Three years on, the law is still at an impasse in the Council of EU member states 🚫
🇵🇱 Poland tried a new approach to build a bridge between the two camps – but ultimately failed because the countries supporting #MassSurveillance and breaking #encryption refused to meaningfully engage 🙅🏽♀️
Read our blog to learn more about the Polish approach and the future of #ChatControl ➡️ https://edri.org/our-work/16-countries-burned-polands-bridges-on-the-csa-regulation-what-now/
2/3 🇩🇰 Now, Denmark seems to be having a go at breaking the Council deadlock, making the #CSARegulation a top priotity for their presidency.
In reality, the Danish proposal makes no actual efforts to tackle concerns about #surveillance and the #encryption-breaking measures.
Is Denmark's attempt just a PR exercise or do they actually think recycling previously rejected proposals will somehow work this time? 🤔

#Flock cameras says that it has “paused its operations with federal agencies” because their system has been used for ICE enforcement.
“Pausing” operations means that they HAVE BEEN ALLOWING IT until now.
Flock makes money per query. They are incentivized to allow “law enforcement” types to query their systems for as many things as they want, including tracking people down for violating anti-abortion laws, suspected “immigration” issues, and who knows what else.
Your tax dollars are paying for this. Flock cameras should be taken down.
