Big Tech can endure the legal uncertainties of the NO FAKES Act, but it would be totally destabilizing for smaller companies, nonprofits, and archivists. Tell Congress we deserve solutions that don't further entrench monopolists. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/tell-congress-just-say-no-no-fakes

There are billions of reasons not to turn Meta’s customers into a distributed surveillance machine. This whiplash behavior proves exactly why we cannot rely on the "good will" of Big Tech to protect our digital rights. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/victory-meta-strips-facial-recognition-code-smart-glasses-app-after-public-outcry

I'm surprised that so many people don't know this.

Hello all! To celebrate Lemmy.zip turning 3 years old, we are once again hosting a small giveaway to say thank you for being here ❤️ We’re giving away 3 prizes to 3 lucky winners. This will be 1 x £25 Steam gifts, and 2 x £10 Steam gifts. The giveaway will be open for 48 hours from 18:00 UTC on the 10th June 2026, to 18:00 UTC on the 12th June 2026. This thread will unlock at 18:00 UTC :) You can enter by making a comment in this very thread! Your comment can say or be absolutely anything you want (within reason!) Once you’ve made a comment, you should get a message back from ZippyBot confirming you’ve entered and a ticket number. For transparency, at the end of this we’ll publish the entry list and ticket numbers. You must be a Lemmy.zip OR a Piefed.zip user to enter (comments from anyone else will be ignored!) and you will need a Steam account and be happy to send me your username so I can gift you the value via Steam. Your Lemmy.zip/Piefed.zip account must have been created before the 9th June 2026. At the end of the giveaway, I’ll lock the thread and Zippy will pull three random entries. The first username pulled will win the first prize (£25), and the other two users will win the other prizes (£10). I’ve put a few FAQs in this spoiler tag if you want to know more: FAQs - PLEASE READ! FAQs- Q) Can anyone enter? - A) You must be a lemmy.zip user or a Piefed.zip user, have a steam account, and your account must have been created before 9th June 2025 — - Q) Can I have a giftcard for a different platform, i.e. xbox or playstation? - A) Unfortunately not. Those platforms (to my knowledge) don’t allow me to purchase a giftcard in the UK and you activate it anywhere in the world. Steam allows currency conversion on gifts. — - Q) How quickly will I get my prize? - A) Steam requires that someone must be on a user’s friend list for 3 days before giftcards can be sent, therefore I will share my Steam profile with the winners (or vice versa) and after 3 days of being friends on Steam, I will send the gift over. (Unless you live in the UK, in which case I can send you a code within 24 hours) — - Q) I think my entry was valid, but I didn’t get a reply from Zippybot with my ticket number. What do I do? - A) Send me a message asap! You can try commenting again too. — - Q) Are user donations funding this? - A) No, just making it clear here that the donations to Lemmy.zip and PIefed.zip only ever go towards the server and Lemmy.zip infrastructure. The funds for this are coming from my wallet :) — - Q) How does Zippy select the winners? - A) Zippy randomly shuffles the list of entrants in the DB. It then randomly shuffles the list again in Python. Then it randomly selects 3 winners from that double shuffled list. — - Q) What if something goes wrong? - A) If for any reason something goes wrong during the giveaway, it will be paused until it can be resumed. If too much time lapses, the giveaway will be restarted.

NO FAKES would supercharge copyright's broken takedown system, and will remove lawful speech—parody, criticism, news reporting. We need smarter privacy protections, not more censorship. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/06/tell-congress-just-say-no-no-fakes

3 years ago today Lemmy.zip was created, and what a journey it has been! I never thought it would grow beyond a few users, and that it would probably crash and burn after I inevitably broke something. Amazingly, we’re still here and now the 3rd most active Lemmy server! To celebrate, I’ve pulled together a recap of everyone’s time on Lemmy.zip - you can view yours at recap.lemmy.zip! I want to say a big thank you to the admin team v4ld1z, gazby, and INeedMana for helping me to keep things running, and to all the moderators who take take the time to build and foster their communities. I also want to thank you, the reader, for being part of Lemmy.zip. Without you, this would all be rather pointless! Demigodrick

“Given this administration’s crackdown on free expression, protest, immigrants, and women’s health,” EFF sees this “as a bold attack on freedom of communication,” EFF’s @cooperq told @404mediaco. “They want to take away our ability to make an anonymous phone call.” https://www.404media.co/fcc-wants-to-kill-burner-phones-by-forcing-telecoms-to-get-all-customers-ids/

World Cup surveillance infrastructure not only could be used to chill people’s civil liberties now but “will outlast the current World Cup and leave cities with drastically more surveillance to be used on a day-to-day basis,” EFF’s Matthew Guariglia told @WIRED. https://www.wired.com/story/soccer-world-cup-biometric-surveillance/

Today's Low Quality Ad is for this Murphy's Law Pin. I hired Murphy's Law to defend me when I received a $10 fine for jaywalking. I am now serving a 20 year prison sentence for that minor civil infraction. Say what you will about Murphy's Law, but they stay true to their slogan.https://collabs.shop/9ph5rp
