This is the moment the internet changed forever
A huge portion of the digital world now requires mandatory ID checks.
New surveillance laws such as the UK’s Online Safety Act, the EU’s Chat Control proposal, and a wave of US state-level KYC mandates have transformed the internet from an open network into a system of checkpoints and control.
In this video, we expose the coordinated attack on privacy happening around the world. We trace how we got here, how platforms were pressured into compliance, and why this wave of regulation is unlike anything we have seen before.

This landslide of lost freedoms has happened in mere weeks. It will become permanent if we don’t resist.
The way forward is to rebuild the internet into what it was meant to be: a free and open network, not a system of checkpoints and control.
