The EU Council approved Chat Control in November, requiring messaging apps to scan private communications and verify identity with government ID. They sold it as child safety. Then police, soldiers, intelligence officers, and the politicians who passed it exempted themselves. Germany's BKA reported a 48.3% error rate nearly 100,000 innocent people flagged and forwarded to authorities for nothing.
CIA Director John Ratcliffe testified under oath that Signal is installed by default on most CIA officers' devices. CISA published guidance calling encrypted messaging a best practice for government employees. The people running the surveillance state protect themselves from surveillance. But 19 states now have comprehensive privacy laws on the books. California launched DELETE for one-stop data broker removal. Global Privacy Control is mandatory in California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Oregon. The FTC banned Mobilewalla from selling location data, hit Google for $68 million over voice assistant recordings, and finalized the GM/OnStar settlement banning location sharing with data brokers.
Signal had its biggest US growth ever after SignalGate downloads jumped 26% in a single day. Maryland banned the sale of location and health data outright. New York passed legislation against police biometric surveillance. Sworn congressional testimony and leaked EU documents confirm that the people pushing the nothing to hide argument use encrypted messaging themselves. Use encryption. Use Signal. Use Futo Keyboard. Check your app permissions. Enable Global Privacy Control.

![TrueNAS + Monero + Tor + I2P = Darknet Privacy Upgrade [100% FREE]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mfO1oh2Fvgw/mqdefault.jpg "TrueNAS + Monero + Tor + I2P = Darknet Privacy Upgrade [100% FREE]
This is massive news if you care about digital privacy and taking control of your data.
Magic Grants has developed four powerful applications that transform TrueNAS Scale into a privacy powerhouse: a Monero node, Monero Wallet RPC, Arti (Tors rust implementation), and I2P. These arent just random apps—theyre a carefully crafted privacy stack that dramatically enhances operational security.
What makes this development so important is how it democratizes privacy tech. Running your own Monero node or setting up I2P used to require serious technical skills. Now its just a few clicks away. This removes third parties from your privacy equation and gives you true digital sovereignty.
I break down why running your own Monero node matters (hint: using someone elses node exposes your wallet activity), how Arti improves on Tors aging C codebase with Rusts memory safety, and why I2P provides critical network redundancy for your privacy arsenal.
The power of this setup isnt just philosophical – its a mathematical reduction of risk in your threat model. Every third party you remove from your OpSec chain reduces your attack surface exponentially, not linearly. Thats real security.
TrueNAS Scale itself is completely free and open-source, turning regular hardware into a powerful network storage system. Instead of trusting Dropbox or Google with your files, you control everything. The hardware requirements arent extreme – even a decent processor with 8GB of RAM can run this setup effectively.
Whether youre concerned about government overreach, protecting financial privacy, or just want control over your digital life, these tools represent a major step toward true digital independence. Privacy shouldnt require a computer science degree, and now it doesnt. This is the path to digital sovereignty weve been waiting for.
