If you want free speech on the internet you must own as much as possible your publishing supply chain.

But owning it all it's not possible, unless you own satellites, landlines and all the internet infrastructure. You'll have to trust some suppliers, but get ready to move away in no time: own your data, own your website, use free software in your workflows.

This also tells a lot which services we must vigilate upon. Violating the net neutrality is an attack to free speech.

🇬🇧
Germany's largest ISP, Telekom, is now blocking Pornhub's new German domain - most likely forced by the government, with almost no transparency. There’s no public list of blocked sites: It really doesn't seem like censorship is improving here.
I wrote a blog post going into detail about this:

Die Deutsche Telekom blockiert jetzt die neue deutsche Domain von Pornhub – höchstwahrscheinlich auf Anforderung der Regierung und mit kaum Transparenz. Es gibt keine öffentliche Liste der blockierten Seiten: Die Zensur scheint hier wirklich nicht besser zu werden.
Ich habe dazu einen Blogpost geschrieben:

dam's blogGerman ISPs are apparently forced to block Pornhub (again)After years of nothing, Telekom has just blocked Pornhub's new German domain.

#HELP

I just received a concerning email from the OTF (@opentechfund.bsky.social) stating that a major source of their funding is in jeopardy.

If you care about open-source, anti-censorship, or the open internet, please consider supporting one of the projects they fund.

@fennix TBH, I think those bs claims should be illegal.

The only valid claims I've seen is that it enables people to circumvent #geoblocking and potentially #InternetCensorship as well as #TrafficDiscrimination due to lack of #NetNeutrality, but those are always to be taken with a truckload of salt!

Most certsinly, there are no "#loglessVPN|s" and no #VPN provider will risk jailtime for any.client
