I audited the BIP-110 activation client (v0.3, latest release) and found critical bugs that would affect Mainnet if deployed. These aren't theoretical. They are in the code right now. Thread.

🚨NEW: HACKERS EXPOSE AGE-VERIFICATION SOFTWARE POWERING SURVEILLANCE WEB
Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet, bundling financial reporting with facial recognition tech.
For the first time, they lay bare what is really behind a software serving age-verification laws – and why such technology is far from harmless.
We spoke with the researchers that exposed the software, who hope that their findings will serve as a wakeup call.

I would like to say thank you to those that have been sending me letters. I think I have received around 8 so far, which is more than anyone else in my unit. I am working on responding to each one.
Stamps are hard to get in here, they frequently sell out at the commissary, and they do not sell letter envelopes at all. I have been told that you need to ask a guard for an envelope. If I keep getting mail like I have this past week my constant requests for envelopes will surely annoy them!
Perhaps I will have to turn to the shadow economy / grey market for my envelope needs (Just kidding Warden!)
Speaking of the grey market... Did you read my second letter published on @theragetech therage.co/letter-2-keonne-r… ?Hopefully you enjoyed reading it as I enjoyed writing it.
The next time I speak with you it will be the new year.
Have a great New Year.
Never stop pushing for #pardonsamourai for me and Bill.
Until next time!

The same day the United States Department of Justice partially released details on the Jeffrey Epstein case, the Department of Justice released a few other interesting press releases.
Three of the press releases fall into our domain of cybersecurity, the remainder are related to narcotics or illegal immigration.
There is some speculation however that the large volume of press releases unveiled at the same time were intended to be a distraction from the Epstein file disclosure. However, this is just speculative.
What is not speculative however is the modifications made to the United States Department of Justice Epstein file releases.
Since the release of the files, several files have been removed from the release. People reviewing the files noted that the files redacted contained images of the current United States President.
Some individuals online asserted these statements are false and the United States Department of Justice has made no changes to the Epstein file release. However, what people seem to forget is that the internet does not forget.
After the release of the Epstein files the Department of Justice website implemented a queueing feature to prevent accidental DoS. During this time I archived the Epstein file releases so people interested did not have to wait in line.
Guess who has the original releases which contains data which is now removed? It's on vx-underground under /tmp/, it's listed as DataSet1, DataSet2, DataSet3, and DataSet4. Feel free to compare these raw datasets to the new ones.

Good news, everyone
The European Parliament has decided that the government, and large tech companies, are responsible for baby sitting YOUR children.
They have voted to work on legislation which makes social media platforms such as TikTok, X, and Meta (Facebook, Instagram, etc) liable for individuals under the age of 16 to be on their platforms. Hence, they must (in some capacity) perform age verification.
This is great news. I'm sure many of you are excited to present your official government identification to people like Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, or whoever the fuck owns TikTok (Larry Ellison, the Chinese government, I don't know anymore).
The government and large tech companies know what's best for you and your family. Not you.
Delighted that our blueprint to help keep children safe online has just passed in the European Parliament. A major step forward in supporting parents, strengthening protections, and putting young people first. Proud to have played a part in shaping this important work @EPPGroup
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This non-binding EP resolution urges EU-wide age limits, privacy-preserving verification, bans on addictive features & targeted ads to protect minors online.
Critics warn of privacy risks & failure to address root harms like poor platform design.

‼️ A very important announcement from the GrapheneOS devs:
GrapheneOS is being heavily targeted by the French state because we provide highly secure devices and won't include backdoors for law enforcement access. They're conflating us with companies selling closed source products using portions of our code.
Both French state media and corporate media are publishing many stories attacking the GrapheneOS project based on false and unsubstantiated claims from French law enforcement. They've made a clear threat to seize our servers and arrest our developers if we do not cooperate by adding backdoors.
Due to this, we're leaving France and leaving French service providers including OVH. We need substantial help from the community to push back against this across platforms.
People malicious towards us are also using it as an opportunity to spread libel/harassment content targeting our team, raid our chat rooms and much more. /e/ and iodéOS are both based in France, and are both actively attacking GrapheneOS including spreading false narratives about it not being for regular people which helped to support the false narratives being propagated by French law enforcement. /e/ receives substantial government funding.
Both are extremely non-private and insecure which is why France is targeting us while those get government funding.
We need a lot more help than usual and we're sending our the first ever notification to everyone on the server because this is a particularly bad situation. If people help us, it will enable us to focus more on development again including releasing experimental Pixel 10 releases very soon.
