Friends,

I've been reflecting after the Exit and Build Land Summit this weekend in Texas (and The Greater Reset 5 months ago!) on the importance of face to face meetings.

First, let's address the haters/ the nihilists/ the black pillers who feel all is lost and there's nothing we can do to leave behind a better world for future generations.

These types love to complain online - it doesn't matter what it is, they just want to complain.

They will say ticket prices are too high, the location is in a snobby part of town, the speakers are controlled opposition, it's a trap to get you on a watch list - anything at all to get a potential attendee to rethink coming in person!

The one we hear most often is that the ticket prices are too high and accuse organizers of being scammers or money focused.

While it is ABSOLUTELY true most events charge an exorbitant amount of money which makes it inaccessible to the average working class activist, my circle is very mindful of costs and making events accessible for the most amount of people.

Still, no matter what we do - make the stream available for free, free tickets for locals, releasing talks for free - someone on the internet will complain. It's as if they expect us to spend months organizing an event, flying speakers out from around the world, booking venues etc and NOT get paid for our time like everyone else! Insanity.

Not only that, but spending money on in person, solutions-focused events is an INVESTMENT IN YOURSELF! If you come with the intention to learn and gain skills to incorporate in your life, you will realize the value of the ticket price is a small price to pay.

The other most common complaint is something like, "oh great, another talk fest with no solutions!". I understand this concern bc most events are problems oriented but the movement we have carved out is forward focused and solutions oriented.

Either way, my point is that people who aren't actually interested in solutions - like the real world, practical solutions offered by The Greater Reset aka The People's Reset - will always find excuses to stay at home.

To the rest of you, the ones who are potentially interested in coming to in person gatherings, I encourage you to get out from behind the phones and laptops and connect with other solutionaries IN PERSON! Seriously, nothing else can beat human to human connection.

I hope to see you, in person, sometime soon.

California Approves Online Digital ID Rules for Social Media Use

The California Senate has approved SB 976, a bill mandating age verification for social media use, sparking concerns over online anonymity and free speech. Critics argue that this legislation could pose significant threats to privacy, affecting not just Californians but potentially all Americans.

SB 976 imposes strict regulations on social media interactions for minors. It prohibits notifications during school hours and late at night without parental consent and mandates that social media feeds for minors be presented chronologically rather than algorithmically, again without parental approval. Social media companies can implement these measures only if they have “reasonably determined” the user is not a minor, a definition set to be clarified by the California Attorney General by 2027. Critics fear this could lead to the requirement of sensitive personal information, such as government IDs, for verification.

Though SB 976 stops short of mandating ID-based verification, similar laws have already taken root in states like Arkansas, Ohio, and Utah, with Florida considering similar measures. Given California’s market size, experts warn that companies might adopt age verification nationwide to simplify compliance.

The bill narrowly passed the Senate, with only two Republicans, Brian Jones and Kelly Seyarto, voting against it. Notably, the bill’s lone Republican co-author, Scott Wilk, abstained from voting.

there are a ton of communication channels nowadays but thats what true decentralization looks like.

all these channels stratify people. at least we aren't writing on the Unix / bathroom wall 😄

what's your communication channel usage and distribution among people?

Has anyone in the @takebackourtech channel used an EMF bed canopy? These canopies are designed to cover the entirety of your bed protecting it from wireless radiation. They're fairly expensive running $1000+, and of course they need to be protected from below using a mat.

For those who have used it, what did you think? Did you notice a difference in sleep quality? Was it life-changing?

EU Commission is confidentially planning an unprecedented expansion of surveillance measures of digital devices, extending even to household appliances, including smart refrigerators.

“The draft is titled: "Recommendations from the High-Level Group on Access to Data for Effective Law Enforcement." In German: Recommendations of the expert group on how access to digital data can be regulated in order to ensure effective prosecution.”

Why would you need to be prosecuted for something you have in your fridge?

⚡️Apple & Google WiFi Surveillance Can Track Death & Destruction
@takebackourtech

Chances are, if you’ve used Google Maps or Apple Maps, you’ve contributed to one of the biggest surveillance databases in the world.

Known for their accuracy, big tech maps can locate your phone within a few meters and even indoors.

No, these big tech maps aren’t using GPS - they’re using WPS or Wi-Fi positioning system.

These WPS systems collect millions of WiFi networks and tag them with locations.

Researchers in Maryland discovered through a flaw in Apple’s WPS that they could gather at least 2B (2 Billion) WiFi location points by requesting WiFi networks at random.

That’s enough points to cover the world’s populated areas, notably China was nearly empty except for a few thousand points. Looks like even the CCP can’t opt out of this surveillance.

We did the work for them.

When you use Google or Apple maps, your phone will send the nearby WiFi networks along with their signal strength to the WPS. The WPS will look up these networks in a database that has hundreds of millions of networks along with their location. The calculation is then performed on the server for Google location’s service, and on the phone for Apple location’s service - which sent a list of 400 additional WiFi points back.

And this is how you get a precise location for your phone. Any new WiFi networks you scanned are potentially added to the WPS databases.

Apple & Google have made their users the instrument of their surveillance.

And the things you can do with this surveillance are harrowing. The researchers were able to see how many WiFi access points went offline in Gaza due to the constant bombardment that caused the deaths of 40,000 civilians.

Similarly the researchers were able to see the damage from the August 2023 Maui fires, and the emigration of people from Ukraine to escape forced conscription.

Apple, Google and any organization they choose to share this WiFi data will have incredible capabilities. Don’t worry though - because these companies care so much about privacy - they give you a way to opt out.

Solutions

Add _nomap to the end of your WiFi SSID (name), Google and Apple promise not to index Wifi networks ending with those names.

Turn off your WiFi network and use ethernet cable.

⚡️Microsoft Recall, Stealing Everything You've Ever Typed
@takebackourtech

Microsoft recently introduced an upcoming feature of Windows 11 that will be rolled out soon with Copilot+ called Recall. If you’re a current user of Windows 11, this isn’t active for you yet, but it will be in the near future.

As a brief summary, Recall will continuously take screenshots of your PC every 5 seconds, creating a searchable database of your activity. It will also store everything you have ever typed in plain text, yes, including sensitive passwords that are copy and pasted.

We recommend you do everything you can to avoid Recall when it is implemented, and to disable it in Windows 11 in the near future.

In case you’re not convinced yet, you may want to switch to an open source OS, like Linux, in order to avoid 0 day exploits and privacy breaches that will likely occur on Windows due to Recall.

Recall is a PR Nightmare

Unfortunately, Recall is one of the many problematic new implementations of AI in mainstream operating systems.

Similar functionality will be coming to Apple, considering they have opted to work with Google’s Gemini AI and will soon implement invasive, AI based scanning of the private data located in the unencrypted messages on your smartphone and PC in the near future.

In case you are not convinced yet, here are some more reasons to avoid Recall:

Cybersec: Microsoft claims that Copilot+ runtime processes data locally, but because its database is stored in plain text, it will make any Windows based PC vulnerable to remote access by hackers.

One practical use case of this would be an InfoStealer trojan, which steals usernames and passwords and can easily be modified to support Recall.

User Reaction: Recall has rightly been met with overwhelmingly negative reactions from Windows users, who naturally fear the coming privacy breaches and severe potential for misuse by bad actors. For any Windows users still out there: this was inevitable.

Implementation: Recall is, quite frankly, a PR nightmare unfolding in real time for Microsoft. To make matters worse, the feature will come enabled by default, despite Microsoft calling it an “optional feature."

Legal Jargon Manipulation: Microsoft's vague, misleading descriptions of Recall are decidedly sketchy. They continue to use terms like "snapshots" instead of "screenshots," in order to cover their tracks and downplay Recall’s intrusiveness.

Update as of 6/13/24: Because of recent public backlash, Microsoft is now making Recall an optional feature that you have to willingly opt-in to, instead of being enabled by default. They are also adding encryption via Windows Hello Enhanced Sign-in Security and are encrypting the search engine database.

Still, we wanted to capture the previous stages of development before Microsoft could sweep the roll-out of this extremely problematic feature under the rug.

Whether or not this convinces you to feel safe and secure while handing over your private data to Recall and Windows, is another story.
