END ANONYMITY AND MEET DIGITAL ID TO USE INTERNET Spain's PM Pedro Sánchez wants to "end anonymity" of all users on social media. In practice it is not about social media, but also about access to #internet. Welcome to the new reality. It is more dangerous in case of abuse of power than chat control or even AML/CFT regulations. So what guys do we do? How we will use #bitcoin and #nostr privately if we have to use digital ID to be online?

Spain is the poster child of the new wave of fascism that is taking over Europe. Luckily, Spain is a completely irrelevant country. It doesn't even have an influence over American Spanish-speaking countries anymore. Unfortunately, it is still one of the top 5 countries in the EU by population, so they do have weight when it comes to deciding votes, and they will always do it in favor of the most hard core positions that their owners at the WEF tell them to push for. By the way, there is ZERO difference or alternative among any of the potential ruling parties. Including the neofascist party "Vox" that is trying very hard to coopt the MAGA and Milei movements, but who is simply yet one more among the Putin-funded extreme nationalist, hard-core illiberal, pro-massive spending, right wing socialist movements that proliferate in Europe these days.
In other words, "Make Spain the VPN capital of the world". There is no shortage of incompetence and idiocy in politics today for sure. We need less government, less taxes and less laws, not more.
The mission of the cypherpunks has never been so relevant, if they cannot control our notes, and cannot put boundaries on what we note. Keep up the great work. 🫡🙌

She wants to Dox the whole internet lol
I’m happy to trade more self censorship on twitter for less self censorship on nostr, but exactly right, I’ve not thought of my choice as an act of self censorship.
We change any "Sanchez" and bring (vote?..🫤) someone who respects privacy, maybe?? We need asap new young people in policies desicion posts, who at least respect basic human rights.

If people are forced to show their face they will be silenced because of fear of repercussions. A free exchange of information & ideas without this fear has to be the only way. why is that so hard for those to understand? the thing is, they do understand but they fear the uncontrollable. they know they can't propagandise effectively if there's anyone speaking out against it. it's simply about power & control.

Don't know how feasible is this idea, but there could be a croudfunded satellite infrastructure to provide internet access without the control of land authorities.

Lol I zapped myself... did I misclick or is this a bug?
Isn't the WEF the one saying blockchain-base CBDC will be the only money by 2027? I think you guys have bigger issues than just no privacy.

Fucking clown actor. His English pronunciation skills don't match his writing ones at all. Sick to hear how scripted the show is.
Dismantle the whole unelected WEF they do not represent the people, all a bunch of control freaks limiting freedom of others except for themselfs.

Time to take ze WEF apart. Sanchez is sure a surveillance freak. In Barcelona they KYC museum visitors, that is so far my worst travel experience. More on the topic of how this can possibly work. On protocol level it is not possible to enforce such things, but your internet activity is already tracked by many players. The contract very likely has your name and address on it. In some countries ID and or passport also required to sign it. If you want to connect to Nostr or any other service more privately then use Tor. Install Orbot to your phone and select which app should use it, on Nostr client check the connection settings as some have Tor support.
You're probably right. I have zero knowledge about satellites. Just looks a little easier to bypass authoritarian jurisdictions.
Eu tenho feito isso mais com familiares e amigos, mas sempre apresentam alguma resistência. Acho que alguma hora essa vai acabar, então vou continuar tentando.
I am offensive in my comments since I started to promote Bitcoin in 2010. It's because of people like me the (disruptive) message finally got through. As our brains like to clinge to the everyday lul Appreciate the feedback, though.
