Verified Privacy VPN (vp.net)

@RiseToLiberty joins us tomorrow, Saturday September 19 at 2pm ET, to go through SB 73, the first age verification law to write VPNs into it, why it won't stop at the border, and why it's really about control and surveillance.

Verified Privacy VPN (vp.net)

The 11pm search you'd never say out loud? Your ISP can see every site it leads to. Switch to a typical VPN and that view doesn't disappear. It moves to the VPN's servers, protected by a promise.

vp.net/ handles identity and destinations inside an Intel SGX enclave that our own engineers can't open, and your device checks that the right code is running every time you connect.

Live today at 4pm ET: Rin Alajaji from @EFForg read the reason fields on millions of Flock Safety searches. Somebody typed the word "music" into a search box that reaches tens of thousands of cameras and hit enter. Nobody felt the need to dress it up. Tune in live: youtube.com/watch?v=Kppta...

We get into residency checks, the warrant gap, and why Texas and Florida both reversed course four days apart.

@EFForg's Rin Alajaji joins us Saturday September 12 at 4pm ET to walk through what millions of Flock Safety search logs actually say.

Rin co-authored the May 2026 EFF analysis with Dave Maass that read the reason fields police type when they run a plate. What came back wasn't the war on crime. It was school residency verification, employment background checks, and noise complaints, running on a nationwide camera network. In Buford, residency checks were more than half of all searches, and three quarters of them by early 2026.

We get into what a single plate query actually puts on the screen in front of an officer, why police need a judge for phone location data but not for a database tracking the same movements, and what a vendor-scripted pitch sounds like when a department brings it to a city council vote.

Then the turn. Texas and Florida pulled back four days apart, both under Republican governors. Through August, roughly three localities a day cut ties with Flock. Rin works statehouses for a living, so she has a clear read on why a governor's memo moved in thirty days what bills couldn't move in years, and why EFF's position is now elimination rather than regulation.

This week on Hide & Speak we sit down with Ted Brown, the Libertarian nominee for U.S. Senate in Texas, running on a repeal-first platform with a digital-privacy plank front and center. Streaming live Saturday, July 11 at 4pm ET: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDgRb...

Last year the Supreme Court upheld Texas HB 1181 in Free Speech Coalition v. Paxton, and age verification went from a talking point to settled law. Now Texas wants that ID check pushed all the way down to the app store, with Apple, Google, and Amazon fighting it in court. Utah went further and became the first state to write VPN users directly into an age verification statute. Brown has been reading the throughline the whole time: every one of these mandates is a checkpoint, and the checkpoints keep moving closer to a single national digital ID.

We get into where that road ends, why the same Ken Paxton who won at the Supreme Court is now Brown's opponent in the race, and what a repeal-first platform actually does about any of it.

Brown pulled more than 267,000 votes in his 2024 Senate run and has been a party member since 1979. He has thought about this longer than most people have known to worry about it.

Live today at 4pm ET. Six local anti-ALPR groups on one panel, from an Ohio suburb to a Bay Area city that already won. Live today: youtube.com/live/Jq0xq4HOE8E

El Cerrito's cameras are coming down. Troy's mayor declared a public safety emergency to keep a Flock contract running. Upper Arlington went from six cameras to twenty without much of a vote. We're getting all six groups to compare what worked, what flopped, and what someone with no group does Monday morning.

The day before the National Week of Action Against ALPRs starts.

DeFlock Stars 2 goes live Saturday August 15 at 4pm ET, and this time we have six local anti-ALPR groups on one panel: Paul from DeFlock UA, James from No Flock in Troy, Pope of Wall St from DeFlock Connecticut, plus organizers from DeFlock Tulsa, DeFlock Dahlonega, and Flock OUT of El Cerrito. Set a reminder here: youtube.com/live/Jq0xq4HOE8E

We're comparing notes across all six on what actually flips a city council vote, how a resident verifies a police claim that federal data sharing is switched off, whether canceling Flock and signing with Axon changes anything, and what one person with no group and no experience does on a Monday morning.

This one airs the day before DeFlock's National Week of Action Against ALPRs, which runs August 16 to 22 with more than seventy-five cities signed up. Bring questions for the panel.
