⚡️KYC for Your Phone? In 7 days, anonymous phones may as well be dead. A new FCC rule demands cell service operators to ask for their customer’s government IDs, personal information, and past phone numbers. This goes for SIM cards, eSIMs, and VoIP numbers. All supposedly to protect you from automated scam calls. Let’s get this straight; we’re going to create massive new loosely-protected databases of people’s personal info to protect people from scams? Its a data breach waiting to happen… 🤳Get the scoop in today’s episode (tbot.substack.com/tbot-23) 📲Your private life should stay private. Let’s start with your phone. (abovephone.com/tbot)

⚡ Powering Data Centers In my conversation with Mike Adams and Todd Pitner over at Decentralize.TV, we talked about how some residents lose power while data centers gain priority. But local communities still have the power to push back and shape what happens next. 📺 Watch interview here above.sh/WL3Tfb 💧 Get the truth about data centers aidatacentermap.org

How Digital Id Goes from Voluntary to Mandatory In this clip, @efenigson and I discuss how digital ID systems start as “voluntary” but quickly become mandatory by proxy, just ilke India’s Aadhaar. Once Enough people rely on it, exclusion kicks in: from renting a hom to opening a bank account. We also see how the UK is using similar tactics, starting with company directors and spreading from there. 🎥 Watch the full interview here youtube.com/watch?v=Q5JCT4… 📱Get your privacy gear abovephone.com/tbot/

This week I sat down with Seth from Man in America to talk about data centers and share the AI Data Center Map I’ve been working on for the last 6 months. This is a tool I’m hoping will help people better understand the impact of this growing issue, organize with each other, and find solutions. 🌎Explore the map: aidatacentermap.org

AI Data Centers: The DIRTY SECRET the Media Won't Touch w/ Hakeem Anwar They're building the AI empire on your water and they don't have to tell you a thing. Former Big Tech engineer Hakeem Anwar spent months mapping over 3,400 data centers across the U.S. and found that two-thirds are going up in communities already running dangerously low on water. Companies aren't required to disclose how much they're consuming, and most residents don't find out until the permits are already signed. We dig into the corporate secrecy behind the AI boom, and connect this infrastructure explosion to the larger surveillance grid being quietly assembled around us. STARTS AT 11:15 PM ET

I recently talked about habits with @web3privacy A really important habit to build is saying no. At the grocery store. Rewards card? Phone number? No. I don’t have one. I don’t even have a phone. They’re trained to ask. You have to be ready to push back. It’s about setting boundaries. 🪧Watch the full interview here: above.sh/QKZnqg

🙏 Kenya's New Data Center Will Require Shutting Half the Country Down Announced in 2024, Microsoft is planning to build a 1 GW data center in Kenya. “We would need to switch off half the country for the data center to be powered,” President Ruto said. Once again, governments and big tech companies are trying to create power out of thin air, putting everyone else at risk. techradar.com/pro/microsofts…

In this week’s #TBOT solution, I get started with Nostr, which stands for Notes and Other Stuff Transmitted by Relays. Nostr is a censorship-resistant decentralized social media protocol. In this video, we’ll do a short overview and show you how to get started in less than one minute. Thanks to @efenigson and several members of the #TBOT community who continued to urge me to try it. If you want a great introduction on why to use Nostr, check out my latest interview with Efrat Fenigson: How To Opt Out of the Digital Prison - Hakeem Anwar | Ep. 137 Follow me on Nostr using my NPUB: npub1uc8dq8h5j8fkd4sz9mnyuxmxp7s6x50xqsr747wpajj4eqjj7yjsvkdtz4

After massive backlash to the U.K. Digital ID program, they’re now calling it “Digital Verification.” But the end result is the same: by 2029, everyone will still need it to work. 👀 Watch full episode on Substack: tbot.substack.com/tbot-23 📚 Read our report on Digital ID around the world: abovephone.com/digital

You own your identity, not the state. | CLIP I break down to Hakeem why I moved from Telegram to Nostr after being kicked off, explaining how the decentralized protocol lets you own your keys and your social graph - followers, content and identity - and carry it across apps. You own your identity, not the state. The craziest part: Nostr has a built-in peer-to-peer wallet for sending money to people. It’s a truly sovereign, censorship-resistant protocol.

⚡️ Return of the Luddites I'm sensing a shift towards open resistance against harmful technologies like data centers and surveillance cameras, and I'm not the only one. But to understand where its going we must look to the past. James Corbett breaks down the Luddite movement in its historical context, looking at sabotage and assassinations, and its representation in fiction like in the Dune series. I'm honored to join James for the last half of this episode to discuss the AI Data Center Map & solutions. Check it out: corbettreport.com/butlerian-jiha…
