The UN just approved the UN Cybercrime Treaty, a drastic global surveillance law that gives UN member states the ability to freeze assets in other countries

I'm too tired to explain, so here's an overview 👇 longer post coming next week

Jesus can they all chill for a bit?!

I see no end in sight for this. Que dios nos coja confesados…

Always and forever on point.

fuck the UN, obviously.

It went from final draft to implemented in 4 months?

Damn, literally every country is part of the UN... There is nowhere to go outside of their surveillance now... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_states_of_the_United_Nations

DEFUND THE UN

This treaty is an ominous step towards greater surveillance and control of financial assets on a global scale. It underlines the importance of decentralized systems like bitcoin, which are resistant to state interference.

Another reason for Bitcoin and why we need self custody and own nodes.

This is a great setup for a cyber pandemic. I had hoped that it was blowing over, but now I wonder...

internet pandemic →

internet lockdowns →

internet passports 🎯

All roads in the #GreatReset leading to a global, fully permissioned #DigitalIdentity State.

Fu-cking in-sane. They watched too many dystopian movies.

Did someone say "overreach" and "rubber paragraphs"? Despite how bad this is, don't for one second think that the next, even worse, thing isn't already in the pipeline. It only goes this way.

Hence, if left to continue, at some point in the future, no amount of decentralized freedom technology whatsoever will help against the 1984 squared, cubed, and so forth, as there won't be any communication medium that doesn't either block it or immediately alert the authorities. The only way to keep any kind of freedom is to have an at least two-pronged approach - freedom technology, of course, but also what most people here don't like - forming associations, lobby groups, and things of the like, to push back.

So much history about central planning, for those willing to study it just a little bit, and most plebs still think nations would unite to act on their behalf

Hire me. I need remote work and I am a valuable asset.

It’s worth noting this: “The treaty, first proposed by Russia and China in 2017..”

While on the surface these countries are the adversaries of the West, behind the scenes they work together for the exact same agenda. This treaty is just an example. Another is UN Agenda 2030.

One step forward, threw steps backwards with those motherf@ckers

Last week, the UN General Assembly adopted the UN Cybercrime Convention – a global treaty to formalize the cooperation of law enforcement agencies between UN member states, that officially voids bank secrecy laws.

Here's what this means for you:

When other countries want to access your financial information for law enforcement investigations, they currently have two primary methods to rely on.

First, there's information sharing via the Egmont Group: a global consortium of Financial Intelligence Units (FIUs), which allow countries to request financial data for anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing investigations from other FIUs. A similar program already exists within the UN, called goAML – a database to share financial information.

Data shared via the Egmont Group is highly confidential and for investigative purposes only, i.e. not allowed to be used in court.

To legally act on the information obtained, countries have mutual legal assistance treaties (MLATs), which require law enforcement agencies to cooperate with each other for example in the seizure of assets.

Under the UK-US MLAT, if the UK receives a request by the US to freeze or seize a person's assets due to a money laundering investigation, the UK is required to oblige by the US' requests, and vice-versa.

In contrast, for example, the UK currently does not have an MLAT with China. While both are parties to the UN, and some cooperation agreements for UN member states already exist, the UK may currently tell China to fuck off if it requests the seizure of assets held in the UK.

The UN Cybercrime Convention essentially functions as a UN-wide MLAT. The only prerequisite to the Convention is that the crime a country requests assistance in is also a crime in the country it requests assistance from.

With the UN's Cybercrime Convention, China, and any other UN member state, may now request other countries to freeze, seize, and forfeit assets on behalf of the requesting country – MLAT or not.

The Convention is now expected to be ratified by UN member states, and it's an absolute nightmare for the security of your funds, putting you at risk of asset seizures through authoritarian regimes – no matter what country you are in.

When are you going to cover concerted price suppression efforts against Monero?

You are close to understand why most Bitcoin OGs nowadays favour freedom and privacy above censorable and taxable fiat NGU games.
