You've probably heard me complain about Dark Patterns in Indian cyberspace. IFF made a comprehensive submission to the Consumer Affairs
Ministry for the Dark Patterns consultation:

Aside: I made a submission with @chandrar and @hashfyre as well, but it wasn't as cool:
Tired of hearing about Data Breaches in India? IFF launched
to track Indian Data Breaches
and raise awareness.
IFF launched an updated #SaveTheInternet campaign this year to stop TRAI's attempt at setting up a licensing
regime for OTT services like WhatsApp and Signal.

And this is just a small sample. They're litigating 20+ cases in Indian Courts to fight for our rights.
Our rights are only as strong as our willingness to defend them.
So for my birthday, please help @internetfreedom defend our rights.
Donate and I'll match the amount:

@nemo, I have donated in the past and would like to donate again. But I’m wary of having to provide my personal details, as required by law, before making the donation. I do not want to give any bad actor (including the government) the ability to track that I’ve donated to some organisation that they don’t like. 😔
You can send me money over UPI at nemo@upi (or an envelope of cash etc), and I'll gladly match it when I make the final transfer tomorrow.
