Every week, the editorial team of Freedom Research compiles a round-up of news that caught our eye, or what felt like under-reported aspects of news deserving more attention.
Outstanding breakdown of Macron's censorship expansion dressed as misinformation combat. The prebunking tactic is especially insidious because it frames any contradictory info as 'expected disinformation' before it even surfaces, which closes off debate entirely. I ran into simillar patterns in other regulatory contexts where 'rapid response' mechanisms bypass any due process, and once that precedent gets normalized it's basically impossible to walk back.
The Canadian digital ID standards Part 0 (CAN/DGSI 103-0) are interesting. They define a person as a subject who is issued a certificate authorizing them to do an activity such as driving a car, and this can be revoked or suspended based on mandates or regulations, etc.
This is certainly not a system that recognizes natural or negative rights of persons. Only positive rights exist for persons within such a system.

This piece really made me think. Vetting trully is a complex algorithm for such vital funds.
