Cybersecurity
Mullvad Privacy Advocacy
TL;DR
Mullvad is calling out the privacy nightmare where governments force you to hand over your ID just to scroll through social media.
Who is this actually for?
Privacy-conscious developers and users who think giving a random app their driver's license is a massive security risk.
The Good
- Exposes the technical absurdity of current age-gating proposals.
- Solid defense of the open web from a team that actually understands encryption and anonymity.
The Catch (Potential Downsides)
Winning the logical argument doesn't stop the regulatory steamroller. Even the best privacy tools struggle when laws make ID-linked accounts mandatory at the ISP level.
