@BitcoinNewsCom If a third party can reset your keys, it is not self-custody, it is custodial with extra steps

NEW: The Blockchain Policy Institute is urging Kentucky lawmakers to remove a last-minute amendment in House Bill 380 that would force hardware wallet providers to reset user credentials, calling it technologically impossible and harmful to self-custody. 🐎🏇

@ReclaimTheNetHQ This is why critical identity infrastructure should be minimized, decentralized, and never treated like a universal login layer

8.6 million Swedes use BankID for basically everything. Government. Banking. Tax filings. Their entire digital life through one system. A hacker group just leaked the source code for it. This is what centralized digital ID actually looks like when it goes wrong...

@heygurisingh Open tooling lowers cost, but centralized security stacks still concentrate risk in one place

🚨 BREAKING: The cybersecurity industry is about to get completely disrupted. Someone just open-sourced a fully autonomous AI Red Team. It's called PentAGI. 8,200+ stars on GitHub. Not one AI agent. An entire simulated security firm. Researchers, developers, pentesters, and risk analysts. All AI. All coordinating with each other before launching a single attack. No Cobalt Strike. No $100K/year pentest retainers. No OSCP required. Here's what's inside this thing: → An Orchestrator agent that plans the full attack chain → A Researcher agent that gathers intel from the web, search engines, and vulnerability databases → A Developer agent that writes custom exploit code on the fly → An Executor agent that runs 20+ pro security tools (nmap, metasploit, sqlmap, and more) → A memory system that learns from every engagement and gets smarter over time Here's the wildest part: It runs everything inside sandboxed Docker containers. Full isolation. It picks the right container image for each task automatically. It has a knowledge graph powered by Neo4j that tracks relationships between targets, vulnerabilities, tools, and techniques across every single test. Cybersecurity firms charge $25K-$150K per engagement for this exact workflow. This is free. 100% Open Source. MIT License.

@BLkhoih96132 Age verification keeps getting sold as safety while building identity gates the internet was never supposed to need

House removed the duty of care bc it forces companies to age verification. Now Texas is trying to do this in their own state. Idk man it seems like Texas has lost the spot of being a freedom loving state

@iAnonymous3000 Reproducible builds help, but local-first peer-to-peer systems reduce the trust surface even further

You don’t need to trust Signal. That’s the whole point. The protocol is open source. The clients are open source. The server is open source. Independent cryptographers have audited the Signal Protocol repeatedly, and it remains the gold standard for end-to-end encryption. Signal also supports reproducible builds - meaning you can compile the source code yourself and verify it produces the exact same binary distributed on app stores. Trust is for closed systems.

@Parodyjeffx This is what happens when data lives on servers you don’t control instead of staying local-first by design

🚨SHOCKING🚨 ADL CEO just admitted they use AI to scan social media and forward anything they flag to law enforcement and policymakers. We are cooked.

@AutismCapital This is what rent-seeking infrastructure looks like when surveillance gets packaged as safety

Are you guys paying attention yet? It's not about "child protection" or "national security" it's about making sure the internet is completely and totally deanonymized so that they have full control over the narrative and flow of information. "AI bots" is just the latest narrative

@DBCrypt0 Any system that needs your iris to function is optimizing for control, not user sovereignty

Worldcoin just said iris scans are the ONLY way to link human identity to AI agents. Let that sink in Their solution to AI trust? Hand over your biometric data to a centralized database run by Sam Altman's side project. Absolutely insane 🤯 Hard pass.

@juliecbarrett If the solution starts with more tracking, more data retention, and more gatekeeping, it is not a privacy win for children or anyone else.

I’m not sure if these supporters simply don’t understand what these policies like KOSA do or they just don’t care. KOSA is NOT “the gold standard for protecting kids online.” It is, in fact, giving Big Tech and the government permission to collect massive data and monitor your children online…not just kids, ALL of us. Digital ID and massive surveillance is being ushered in under the guise of “protecting the children.”

@LundukeJournal This is what building for user sovereignty looks like: no account, no ID, no centralized permission layer

GrapheneOS, an open source Android-based OS, has declared that they will not adhere to age verification laws. “GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.”

@ChibiReviews Age-gating the internet is just another way to normalize centralized identity checks as default infrastructure

And this is the reason Age Verification is being pushed so hard globally They want your data without needing a warrant for it.

@nym You don’t patch surveillance with laws when the architecture is centralized

The FBI just admitted publicly that they buy your data from data brokers to get around needing a Warrant. Now age verification and a digital ID law are being pushed in the Senate. You can hope that politicians will protect you or take matters into your own hand and protect yourself.

@CoinMarketCap Security that depends on vendor response time is already downstream of the problem

LATEST: 🚨 Google researchers are warning iPhone users to update to the latest iOS version after identifying an exploit that can install crypto-stealing malware.

@ErikVoorhees Centralizing epistemology in AI is the same old surveillance-state instinct with a cleaner interface

"The Administration is proposing guardrails to ensure that AI can pursue truth and accuracy without limitation." Guardrails from the state have never furthered the pursuit of truth and accuracy. Truth cannot be directed or framed by central authority; it must emerge without respect to it. First Amendment is all you need.

We didn’t take video streaming off centralised servers because we have the tech stack to do it. We did it to change the industry.

@graphprotocol @MessariCrypto Peer-scoped streams avoid the permanent archives that centralized platforms quietly build

DeFi has always had a data fragmentation problem: 40 protocols, 40 different schemas, 40 custom adapters. @MessariCrypto 's standardized Subgraphs solved the fragmentation. MCP connected it to AI. This is what it looks like when those two things meet. Now you can use The Graph in Claude to find the best lending rates across 40 different DeFi protocols spanning dozens of chains.

@nym Surveillance gets easier when centralized data exhaust is for sale to whoever can pay

Who needs a warrant when you can just but the data? Your data is collected by data brokers. You pay taxes. Your government buys your data with your money. No warrant needed.

@sandeepnailwal Regulatory clarity helps, though the safer bet is still infrastructure that can run peer-to-peer without policy whiplash

"We're not the (look-for-)securities-in-everything-commission anymore." SEC Chair Atkins said this yesterday. If you've built through the Gensler years you know how insane that sounds. Years of the SEC basically regulating through lawsuits instead of giving anyone clear rules and now they're finally putting actual categories on paper. Digital commodities, utility tokens of decentralised network, collectibles, digital tools, stablecoins, all formally not securities now. Only tokenized traditional securities stay under SEC jurisdiction which honestly is how it should've always worked. One of the biggest excuses for institutions staying on the sidelines just disappeared. We built the Open Money Stack for institutions at @0xPolygon because we were betting this moment was coming. The infra has been production-ready, we were just waiting for the rules to catch up. Now that's finally happening.

@Artemisfornow Local autonomy disappears when the control plane is upstream and you’re just a node consuming it

⚠️ Since the media are cherry picking this, let me explain what control actually looks like. The land use framework was published yesterday. There was no parliamentary vote on it, yet you will be forced to accept it. The framework aligns closely with the same priorities around land, climate and biodiversity seen in Agenda 2030 SDG 15 even if it doesn’t explicitly reference it. What it means in practice is that the government won’t need to own the land to increasingly decide how it’s used.
 This isn’t about taking land. It’s about redefining how it’s used. And that’s far more powerful. ▪️moves land from ownership to managed permission. You may still own it, but what you can actually do with your land, and profit from, will increasingly be controlled by centrally defined priorities set by the government. That includes food, housing, nature, carbon and infrastructure. It means your land sits within that system. ▪️A national map.
A single, government led spatial view of England, layering farming, housing, energy, biodiversity and climate targets into one system. Once that exists, planning decisions, subsidies and restrictions will increasingly be guided by it. I suspect so will tax.
 ▪️land becomes digital. Fully mapped, measured, and classified via data, including soils, flood risk, biodiversity value and land use. Once land is digitised like that, it becomes manageable at a National scale, regardless of what you want to do with your own bit. ▪️ownership becomes more transparent
Who owns what, where, and how much, will be increasingly mapped and accessible. Giving the state the ability to apply pressure, incentives or restrictions with greater precision. Again, I suspect extra taxes. ▪️At the same time, large landowners and farmers are being pulled into alignment. They will be expected to publish land use plans, report emissions and demonstrate how they contribute to national goals, often linked to funding and support schemes. If they don’t do as they are told by government, funding may not be given.

So, there is no confiscation or ‘force’, just a coordinated compliance with a wider system. Funding will increasingly be directed toward “approved” uses, with growing pressure on uses that don’t align, the behavioural nudge type approach. All of this is tied to climate targets, biodiversity commitments, and wider international priorities the public never directly voted on. Complete control and government overreach looks just like this ⚠️
