Let's start with IP addresses. 📡

With the #RESTRICTAct, #Congress wants to continue #Trump's war on #Tiktok, banning the Chinese-owned service. How will they do this? Congress isn't clear. In practice, banning stuff on the internet is hard, especially without a national firewall:

TRIAS POLITICA (Separation of Powers)
The concept, TRIAS POLITICA was developed by 18th Century French philosopher Charles Louis de Secondat, baron de la Brede et de Montesquieu in his publication Spirit of the Laws. #Malami #TwitterBan #KeepitOn #VPNs #LaiMohammed #Bubu

Baron M asserts that the political authority of the state should be divided into three powers: legislative, judicial, and executive. These three powers must be separate, operated by different persons, and independently. #Malami #TwitterBan #KeepitOn #VPNs #LaiMohammed #Bubu
The separation of these powers is a key element of the principle of “checks and balances” designed to prevent tyranny, concentration, or abuse of power by “kind bullies” or their overexcitable agents. #Malami #TwitterBan #KeepitOn #VPNs #LaiMohammed #Bubu
Whoever made #DualStackLite/#DSlite, made it #RFC6333:

So I've to help a #RemoeWorking colleage to not only get their #ISP to migrate them to #DualStack instead of that #DSlite/#CGNAT bs, but also migrate a company #VPN to Dual-Stack...
Because @deutschetelekom, @vodafone_de, @o2de and all the #MVNO|s in #Germany don't Providence Prosper #DualStack on mobile, and at best do #NAT64 or #CGNAT on #RFC1918 address spaces but sometimes even do #IPv6-only or even #NAT66!
And they #WontFix thar even for #B2B customers.

1: The J&K police is using the #UAPA against people for overcoming the longest-ever internet ban imposed in the world by using social media sites like Facebook & Twitter through #VPNs. If found guilty they can be arrested for up to seven years in jail.

2: The Government of India says such sites are blocked ‘to curb the misuse of the sites by miscreants for propagating false information/ rumours’. The Indian Government has almost total control over what information is coming out of the region.

3: While the Government has a duty & responsibility to maintain law and order in the state, filing cases under counter-terrorism laws such as #UAPA over vague & generic allegations and blocking social media sites– is not the solution.
