The Internet’s days are numbered. Dystopian governments will push all resistance underground, signaling the end of Free Speech. What will be left is “slop” content and fake videos generated by AI. Who will be left online? Mostly brain-numbed snow-flakes who live in a perpetual simulacrum, who can’t tell the difference between fantasy and reality. This is the race to the bottom for humanity. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.
EU lawmakers have sought to introduce Chat Control, while the UK and Australia are on track for digital ID systems. Pavel Durov warns that these “dystopian” measures must be stopped.
Messaging app Telegram founder and CEO Pavel Durov warns that a “dark, dystopian world” is approaching, with governments worldwide rolling back privacy protections.
“I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free internet built for us by our fathers,” said Durov in an X post on Thursday.
“Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures,” said Durov, referencing the European Union’s Chat Control proposal, digital IDs in the UK and new rules requiring online age checks to access social media in Australia.
“Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.”
“A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away,” Pavel added.
Privacy protections are a cornerstone of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency industry. Bitcoin was created to operate pseudonymously, using addresses instead of names, and allowing peer-to-peer transactions without the involvement of banks, among other measures.
Germany may have blocked the EU’s Chat Control
EU lawmakers were set to vote on the Chat Control law next week, which critics argueundermines encrypted messaging and people’s right to privacy as it requires services such as Telegram, WhatsApp and Signal to allow regulators to screen messages before they are encrypted and sent.
The president of messaging app Signal, Meredith Whittaker, said on Thursday that while Germany’s opposition to the measure is a relief, she warns that “the war is not over,” because it now moves to “the European Council, where the issue is unresolved.”
She also warns that any further attempts to enact similar measures allowing the scanning of content should be opposed because it negates encryption and also creates “a dangerous backdoor.”
UK’s Digital ID has sparked concerns, too
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced a digital ID scheme in September, which would require citizens to prove their right to live and work in the country.
The government is pushing the measure as a way to combat illegal workers, while also cutting down wait times to verify identities and gain access to government services, such as licenses, childcare, welfare and tax.
Critics argue that the scheme raises privacy concerns as individuals would be required to provide personal information to be stored on a government app, and it would be too easy for the government to misuse it.
Over 2.8 million people have already signed a petition opposing the introduction of a digital ID. Petitions that gain more than 100,000 signatures have to be considered for debate in Parliament.
Australia’s online age verification system raises privacy issues as well
Australia will restrict access to social media platforms for users under 16 from Dec. 10, and one of the measures floated to enforce the ban has been an online digital age verification system.
Lawmakers in the country argue that the scheme will protect minors from harmful content online. However, critics share similar privacy concerns with the UK system, namely that it could lead to government misuse and create privacy issues around the storage of data.

Internet freedom and privacy are just more pillars of the old order to be toppled. People who merely want to be left alone, to live and let live, are no match for inexorable globalism. In no way do I suggest we quit. Make globalist’s work for everything they steal, but realize we’re losing a battle of will, because we’re not religious robots in bondage to a cult. We lose because a spiritual battle cannot be won on material grounds. Radical globalist’s are extremely long range planners. Many have worked entire lifespans for globalism, without seeing much progress, but they’re relentless… Read more »
I fear you are right. However, I do note how flawed their technocracy is on a day to day basis and have some hope that it will fail.

Back in 1994, when the internet was just starting to become populated, I used to refer to it as The Information Super Cesspool. That it sure was and still is. Even much worse since the advent of Social Media.

Can’t help but think hackers, scammers, and dark schemers are going to throw a monkeywrench into all “their” elaborate plans.

I ask myself whether the milliards are supposed to ‘get’ any truths to be uncovered by exploring such topics as discussed by Liliana Doganova on the subject of “Discounting the Future: the ascendance of a political technology.” Geoff Mann at the New York Review of books comes away saying that “the government views the long-term future of humanity as not metaphorically but literally worthless.” But metaphorically, we can think of ourselves as potential golems created by some language that binds us to lifeless sorts of servitude while the language masters ride high, no matter what they may face for having… Read more »

Digital currency and the China/beast system will make this whole argument a moot point.

As was often said in an ’80’s sitcom “Right on Washington!”
