Starmer announces UK has banned social media for kids under 16.

Under this new scheme announced under the guise of “protecting children,” adults will need to submit to age/ID verification to use social media.

The ban also includes restrictions on gaming and livestreaming platforms, and is expected to go into effect in 2027.

Enjoy your tea, Hatters🎩

Today I want to share an interesting project with you: Ermine OS 🗻🦦. It’s a private live system based on Debian, created specifically for secure crypto operations 💲 and anonymous web browsing (for example, visiting forums)🌐.

Here is the repository: https://github.com/ermiusio/ermine_os

In addition to the system itself, the author has written a fairly long article that provides a detailed analysis of popular privacy-focused live distributions.

I particularly liked the breakdown of Tails OS🧅.
It explains the inner workings of the system "related to privacy"⚙️

For example, at the level of systemd services, scripts, and iptables, it shows how the killswitch works. It also covers issues with video memory (yes, this was a known problem, but I hadn't seen a breakdown of it in other reviews before). It even explains why Persistent Storage partially undermines the Tails concept itself and analyzes how application protection is implemented via AppArmor. It's a shame the author didn't go even deeper (for example, looking for backdoors in the source code), but overall, I hadn't seen such a high-quality review in Russian available publicly before.

The article also covers other "private live" systems like Whonix Live, Heads, Kicksecure Live, and so on.

And now about Ermine OS 🦦 itself:
The system runs entirely from a USB drive and writes almost nothing to the disk. All traffic goes exclusively through Tor with a kill-switch (if Tor were to suddenly fail, the network simply shuts down). There is an automatic MAC address and hostname changer. Among the applications, it includes Tor Browser with the author's own Fingerprint Spoofer plugin, a separate browser for I2P🚦, a separate i2pd with a GUI using zenity, and Cake Wallet.

Regarding security: it has custom AppArmor policies for all programs🔒, kernel hardening via sysctl, protection against cold-boot attacks using sdmem, and a completely disabled swap.

Additionally, the author has created an experimental option - RAM-mode which can be selected at boot. In this mode, the system continues to work even after the USB stick is removed, staying entirely within RAM.

The author has also prepared a detailed step-by-step guide on how to build your own live system in the second part of the article, plus they tested the killswitch and other important features.

The project looks quite interesting. Yes, it is still a bit rough around the edges, but as an article with a working example of a private live system, it is already excellent material.
It will be especially useful for beginners who want to build their own distribution for privacy purposes 🧩. There aren't many projects like this with decent articles and guides.

Of course, Heads also has documentation, but it's from 2017 and lacks such an in-depth comparison with other systems.

In general, big thanks to the author☝️ I don't understand why the repository is still so niche; in my opinion, it deserves much more attention. Alas, the article is written in Russian, and the author did not provide a translation. But I have translated it into English for them; enjoy it🌟

P.S. I only translated the md, the images are not included, but you can view the original tests and images in the github.

I hope you find it useful too ❤️

Footage shows a Lebanese journalist lying injured on the street after being caught in Israeli shelling near the town of Kfar Tebnit in southern Lebanon.

The attacks come after the announcement of a Pakistan-mediated agreement between the US and Iran and despite an ongoing ceasefire in Lebanon that has been in effect since April 17.

🇬🇧Starmer's Under-16 Social Media Ban Masks UK Surveillance | Reclaim The Net


Here is a fun fact to keep in your back pocket the next time a politician appears on the morning TV sofas to explain that the government’s new face-scanning and digital ID regime is really, deep down, about protecting your children.

UK Prime Minister Keir #Starmer, spent the first half of his career as a human rights lawyer and the second half running the Crown Prosecution Service.

He has argued for the individual against the state and he has aimed the full weight of the state at the individual. He has, in other words, seen this particular movie from both seats.

So when he tells you he has stumbled, blinking and innocent, into the most comprehensive surveillance apparatus in British peacetime history, do not extend him the courtesy of believing it.

He spent twenty years learning precisely what these powers do to a person. He is not building this in his sleep.

Lebanon files UN complaint accusing Israel of using toxic chemicals in 'scorched earth' campaign

Beirut also filed a complaint over Israel's killing of two Lebanese army officers and a soldier in south Lebanon earlier this month

Israel’s chemical spraying of farmland in Lebanon and Syria amounts to war crime, targets civilian survival | EuroMedHR Monitor


Beirut – The Israeli army’s spraying of chemical substances over vast agricultural areas in southern Lebanon and Syria is deeply alarming.

The deliberate targeting of civilian #farmland violates international humanitarian law, particularly the prohibition on attacking or destroying objects indispensable to civilian survival. Large-scale destruction of private property without specific military necessity amounts to a war crime and undermines #food security and basic livelihoods in the affected areas.

It was a hate crime

Gene Edited Crops: The WEF’s Back Door Agenda

There is a coordinated push happening right now to replace traditional food with gene-edited, synthetic crops. At first it looks like normal business and innovation, but when you look closer you see something very different.

In this video Christian breaks down an admission from Corteva Catalyst’s Senior Director Mathias Müller. He openly explained how Big Ag plans to let small startups do the risky legwork on gene-edited crops so the big companies don’t have to take the heat, the liability, or the bad press if (when) things go wrong.

I also look at the real-world example he gave -- Pairwise -- and show how this pattern is repeating across multiple Corteva-backed companies. Former Monsanto and Syngenta executives are leading many of these “startups.”

This isn’t organic market progress, but rather a deliberate strategy to centralize control over our food supply while pushing the risks onto others.

Grow your own, my friends . . .

Starmer's police dragged the terrified child into a car, then pepper-sprayed and the father and the man filming everything.

What the hell is happening in Britain?
