Ok, first I need to understand how to do nostr community 😅
Hi #nostr, I have #question: #Telegram for a long time was the only place to keep human rights and opposition archives for #Kazakhstani and other Central Asia countries.
Following #Durov’s arrest and cooperation with authorities, few days ago all opposition channels were deleted without clear reasons and right for appeal.
We are thinking about how to move this archive to #nostr: video, photos and documents (doc/pdf) files. What is the best way to do it?
Also we happy to work with you guys to translate interface of #Damus or other relays into #Russian, #Kazakh, #Kyrgyz languages. Grateful for your reports and advices 🧡
Is there a video recording available somewhere?

We have a link 🧡
Yes, but then you need to ask/write to journalists as well as politicians what do they know about #ChatControl and what do they do to defend #freedomtech?
HUNGARY PROPOSED MESSENGER PROVIDERS FOR TIGHT SURVEILLANCE
Following the pressure of privacy & human rights activists the Hungarian Presidency claimed to do "a compromise". In practice the upcoming #ChatControl regulation will require from messenger providers "to do their utmost to contribute to the development of reliable and accurate technologies to detect new CSAM and grooming."
It means more tight surveillance, including indiscriminate mass monitoring of private communications and the end of secure end-to-end encryption. https://emanuelkarlsten.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/240829-CRPII-4-september-st12319.en24.pdf
In response to this proposal, over 245 scientists from 31 countries evaluated #ChatControl draft as ‘ineffective, false positives, defeats end-to-end encryption, disproportionate, violates right to privacy, new vulnerabilities’. https://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~preneel/Open_letter_CSAR_aug24_still_unacceptable.pdf
1️⃣ What you can do now:
🔻Call your goverment and deputies to reject alltogether Chat Control. Find contacts here: https://op.europa.eu/en/web/who-is-who/organization/-/organization/COREPER/
🔻Support politicians like @echo_pbreyer who promote privacy!
🔻Explain why it won’t help in bringing security for our society. Opposite, such approach would put the future of our freedoms is just one step closer to be compromised and abused by dictators.
🔻Address your government before the next meeting on 2nd Oct.:
🔴SUPPORT Chat Control: Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Denmark, Finland, Hungary, Ireland, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden
🟢AGAINST Chat Control: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Estonia, Germany, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovenia
🟡 UNDECIDED (we need to activate them the most!): Italy, Netherlands, Portugal
🎙Respost and call you friends to join the campaign today: If no privacy of communication, no protection for children, anyone in the EU and beyond!
2️⃣Rember and explain:
🔻No algorithm can reliably make a legal assessment. According to Meta, which is the source of the vast majority of reports, they currently only look for known CSAM in EU communications, and yet at least 50% NCMEC of reports made to German law enforcement agencies are not criminally relevant, according to the federal crime agency (BKA).
🔻EU Commissioner #Johansson admitted in late 2023 that 75% of NCMEC reports are not of a quality that the police can work with.
3️⃣ Dictators love Western spy technology: the example of the Intellexa spy company proved: dictators all over the world love Western spy technology for transnational repression of opponents and destruction of the Western world, your and your family freedoms. Urge your government to stop this! https://www.woz.ch/2439/predator-files/die-schweiz-als-drehscheibe/!NN0B9QYP1H7V 
Yes, I have seen this and we had discussions with nostr:npub1kmwdmhuxvafg05dyap3qmy42jpwztrv9p0uvey3a8803ahlwtmnsnhxqk9 sometime ago about that risks. But they as financial business representatives are doing classical preventative steps if they want to operate legally according the #AML regulation in the #EU.
Unfortunately, nobody wants to support financially advocacy in defense of freedom tech in the #EU. It is a sad fact. The only donors you may expect to support such work are in the US, like nostr:npub15879mltlln6k8jy32k6xvagmtqx3zhsndchcey8gjyectwldk88sq5kv0n nostr:npub1hyqrsvl6hle8r5rc9cpshesm0mpcee75tgde4p5lhke5h83dyqqqdwk7cp nostr:npub1kp7jzme0qs3wcqjjmkq6v5fm359sclhc22glhadgtmerlr0h37nsn8487l nostr:npub1hkt89m0kuhn0ksvg3cm84syl2cr209es6jnwx7r3ahynu45me5zshzltpw .
Moreover, I know that many EU bitcoiners find our work educating policymakers about the need to protect #freedomtech and analytical reports on regulatory threats boring and unnecessary.
More boring still, they find our calls to protect the #privacy of payments and communication.
But what's happening with #Geyser is just the tip of the iceberg, and this trend is only going to accelerate if WE don't stop it.
We predicted such developments back in April : https://en.odfoundation.eu/content/uploads/2024/04/18.04.2024_btc-coalition-submission_eng.pdf
There is no one else who will protect your and my #privacy. That's why it's critical to join forces to preserve and expand a safe environment for developers, investors, and users of freedom technologies.
Also, I find hopes of the ‘living in a parallel society’ approach a bit utopian, because I have been working constantly for 15 years now with activist groups in authoritarian countries, where by default all dissenters survive in an exclusionary/parallel society regime. It is not their choice, but rather punishment - #exclusion. They survive on the support of Western partners and freedom technology.
But in authoritarian countries freedomtech is not created. There is no one there to fund it, and if someone tries - I recommend reading our recent reports on what happens to such donors:
https://en.odfoundation.eu/content/uploads/2024/07/05.07.2024_report_mendygaziyev_eng_updated.pdf
This is why I think it is crucial to build support with politicians, and to educate people in general about the importance of protecting freedoms and privacy technology.
Because (1) any business that requires investment and (2) any developer of privacy tools that is not just air-fuelled - will be under regulatory pressure with the current dynamics of AML/CFT regulations in western countries. Even worse situation in the rest/non-democratic world.
So unless there is a serious joint effort to protect the privacy of communications and payments in the EU - the situation will only get worse and will spread from the EU to other jurisdictions too.
#Nostr #relay operators have the same vulnerability - they could be pressured into ‘deplatforming’ too.

I feel your pain when opening one of them… like this: 
Join me to discuss at #POW Summit 2024 the need to protect #freedomtech #bitcoin from over-regulation in the EU/European Single Market (ESM).
We need to unite our voices and show as much as possible use cases that discriminatory policy approach against Proof of Work & Bitcoin is a guarantee for Proof of Mistake by the EU/ESM regulators. 
We defend #bitcoin and #PoW as #freedomtech in the EU: https://en.odfoundation.eu/projects-and-campaigns/combating-financial-exclusion-and-work-of-btc-coalition/
Our latest submission: https://en.odfoundation.eu/a/726092,bitcoin-mining-for-eu-electricity-grids-an-energy-supply-management-tools/
If you are in Amsterdam or Lugano conferences - happy to meet in person.
Happy to help.

You can build a parallel system, invent thanks to existing environment for that. You won’t be able to do so living in the authoritarian state.
I wish you to pay, but first someone should donate to our cause. When you will have to pay to your lawyer you will remind our discussion.
It is not a “little”. Freedom of communication is basic and the main freedom which is going be taken in case of silence. There are many processes of establishing rules which shape our reality. While we have this privileges we should use them. It is like have #bitcoin but don’t use or hold it. So who is responsible that for your decision to hold/use or not while you have this opportunity?
Silence means an agreement.
It is very useful to learn that EU bureaucracy is built exactly by national EU government. It is their representatives and their responsibility, but same as they are changeable - if you participate in the voting and express your position. This “if” makes huge difference.
I guess we don’t understand each other.
I expect you to understand that you need to invest from your side for your freedoms resources, knowledge and time.
