Il y a 15 ans, lorsque Neutrinet fut créée, il était presque inimaginable de pouvoir mettre en place un #FAI associatif et non-marchand en #Belgique. Et pourtant, depuis quelques mois Neutrinet a rendu ce rêve un peu plus concret, en commençant à proposer des lignes internet au grand public.
Aujourd'hui, nous avons besoin de votre soutien financier pour réaliser ce rêve. C'est pourquoi nous lançons à la fois un appel aux #dons et un appel à prendre des lignes #internet:

Age-verification laws now cover half the US, requiring IDs or face scans to access “harmful” content 📄
Advocates warn these mandates expand surveillance, increase breach risks, and could enable censorship under bills like KOSA ⚠️
Groups like @fightforthefuture.org are pushing for safer alternatives 🛡️

EFF launches a hub on rising age-verification laws, noting risks of surveillance and reduced access for youth and adults. 🔍
These mandates often rely on intrusive ID or biometric checks that expose sensitive data. 🔒
Experts will discuss impacts in upcoming AMA and livestream. 🎙️

Mullvad is removing OpenVPN in desktop app v2025.14, shifting all users to WireGuard for security, performance, and newer anti-censorship tools. 🔄
Some OpenVPN setups may break, and routers/external apps will lose support by Jan 2026. ⚠️

Americans!
The Senate Judiciary Committee, in tandem with the House's Energy and Commerce Committee, is also looking to run a shock and awe campaign during a "child safety" meeting tomorrow in order to push various fascist nanny state bills (KOSA, STOP CSAM, Age Verification, etc.).
Do not buy their framing, it's nothing but moral panic nonsense.
Call your Senators and Representatives ASAP!

@eff Lawmakers who draft/enact Age Verification and similar policies insist that said policies are about "child safety." But anyone with even rudimentary critical thinking skills knows that is not true
The true purposes of these policies are as follows:
-Make organizing protests virtually impossible
-Erase marginalized groups from the internet
-Make accessing vital resources much harder, if not impossible
-Erase anything that dilutes the state's ability to brainwash the populace (Palestine, Environmentalism, LGBTQ+ rights, Voting Rights, Reproductive Rights, Immigration, etc.).
-To "return" sexuality and expression in general back to their "proper" place in society and make adult art, sex work, etc. more precarious, more exploitable, and with less recourse to any law or institution
-General petty spite towards people who don't treat like deities
Overall, de-anonymization won't make kids safe and it won't result in a more polite internet (just look at Facebook and LinkedIn).
Anyone who advocates for these policies shouldn't complain when their ID/Credit Card/Biometric data is inevitably leaked to the dark web and they have to deal with ID theft and such for years/decades.

Age-verification mandates create barriers along lines of race, disability, gender identity, sexual orientation, immigration status, and socioeconomic class. Here’s 10 (not so) hidden ways how. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/10-not-so-hidden-dangers-age-verification
