    An open source clone of photoshop was just released, called “Photocraft”.

    It was vibe coded based on Adobe’s public specifications and observed behavior, and while it contains no proprietary Adobe code, it looks eerily similar to the original. Some people even suspected that AI might have decompiled Photoshop to source code. But even if that’s not the case, AI is getting so good that it’s very believable that it might one day be possible to do this.

    If this is the case, as Eric Raymond declared, closed-source is dead.

    What does this mean for privacy? It means that companies will no longer be able to hide surveillance in the apps on your devices. It’s possible that soon you’ll be able to use AI to decompile the software on your device and see exactly what it’s doing behind the scenes.

    AI has made surveillance easier than ever, but we can also use it to protect ourselves.
    The age of “trust us” software is ending.
    Privacy revolution incoming.

    Companies lie to you about why they need your data.
    They tell you it's for "verification." It's not. It's data harvesting with an official-sounding label.

    Here's what happened when I signed up for a service with a completely made-up identity.

    00:00 This happened a few days ago
    00:42 We need this for "verification"
    01:00 They're lying to you
    01:50 ISPs sell your data
    02:45 Stop handing out your data
    03:20 Make up your own mind

    The lesson: when a company tells you why they "need" your information, don't take it on good faith. Think before you hand it over, and push back.

    DEF CON is one of the largest and longest-running hacker conferences in the world. I met with hackers who are building tools to fight the surveillance state.

    No one is coming to save us. The tools protecting our privacy are being built by a scrappy community of hackers and hobbyists on shoestring budgets — and anyone can join the fight.

    The surveillance state is here. Flock cameras track your every move. Palantir builds digital dossiers on everyone. ICE buys your location data in bulk. Your devices are being turned against you with mandatory age verification. And the developers building our digital shields are being arrested.

    The battle seems unwinnable. But history of full of unwinnable battles that were won anyway.

    Phil Zimmermann vs. US Government, defeating encryption controls.
    Cult of the Dead Cow vs. Microsoft, forcing the tech giant to finally take security seriously.
    Clipper Chip vs. Everyone, with researchers like Matt Blaze giving a devastating blow to this backdoor tool via a peer-reviewed paper that exposed its fatal flaws.

    Let's learn some lesson for how they won these unwinnable battles.
    The battle for digital freedom is here, and we have the playbook to win it.

    This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace by EFF co-founder John Perry Barlow, and also America’s 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.

    But what does independence means in an age where our digital lives are more controlled than ever?

    In this video I will walk you through three things:
    - the context of the original declaration of independence
    - the promise of John Perry Barlow’s Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
    - the kind of declaration we need today to protect our privacy, autonomy, and independence into the years to come.

    00:00 On Behalf of the Future
    02:46 Tyranny in 1776
    08:14 The Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace
    11:26 Privacy Protects Your Independence
    14:16 A New Declaration
    18:17 What Now?
    21:10 Privacy Will Save the Free Internet
    22:38 The Declaration

    Breaking free doesn't require a revolution. It starts with a simple decision. Stop handing over your mind, your money, and your children to systems designed to exploit and control them.
    Independence, in 2026, is something you have to choose every single day.
