Maybe it's just me, but if I need to create an account on your online newspaper to read a 'free gift article', I firmly believe said 'free gift article' isn't actually 'free'.
You see 'Free' can mean 'without payment' and it can mean 'unencumbered' and I would argue this 'free gift article' fails both of those meanings: The case for the latter assertion seems obvious, but for the former let me point out your personal information has value – otherwise they wouldn't care.

Tresorit, an end-to-end encrypted cloud storage provider, is adopting hybrid post-quantum encryption as NIST formalizes its first PQC standards. 🔐
The shift targets “harvest-now-decrypt-later” risks and raises questions about long-term data protection and accountability. ⏳

I left mainstream platforms completely burned out and found the fediverse, and god it felt like I could finally breathe again without someone tracking every single thing I did.
But even here I kept wondering who actually protects my data when someone comes asking for it, and I realized I didn't want to trust anyone else with that answer.
So I run https://goingdark.social now because I wanted that certainty for myself and my community. When someone demands data or tries to shut down what we talk about, I'm the one who gets to say no and take whatever comes with that.
I pay for this out of pocket because it matters to me, and your admin is probably doing the same thing, maybe a father of three running a server from his home office, a single mom keeping her community safe between work shifts, an older gentleman who remembers what the internet used to feel like before corporations owned everything.
That's how this whole thing works, regular people running small spaces because they care, all of us building something no single company or government can control. We're doing this together and every small instance matters.
Support your local instance admin however you can. They're keeping this alive for all of us.

I feel this needs to be repeated 🍪
The annoyance of cookie banners
doesn't come from the regulations, but from the malicious compliance of the corporations who want to exploit your personal data.
No data-harvesting cookies = No banner.
Simple.
My websites have no cookie banners,
because they don't use any non-essential cookies and don't track visitors.
Yours shouldn't either.

"...downloaded all 77 million profile pictures visible to everyone—a proud 3.8 terabytes in total. In a random sample of half a million images drawn from this, a facial recognition routine found a human face in two-thirds of cases."

Swiss surveillance could become worse than US
If passed, chat, email & VPN providers from #Switzerland must:
🚨 Log IP addresses
🚨 Ask for ID upon sign up
🚨 Decrypt data upon request
Swiss Bundesrat is still discussing this draft bill, decision will likely be made in 2026.
Let's fight for #privacy! 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/switzerland-surveillance-plan
