Britain has begun using SpaceX‘s militarised satellite network Starshield, according to two people familiar with the matter, making it among the first countries outside the United States to adopt Elon Musk‘s government-focused variant of Starlink.
Starshield, developed for the U.S. government, is designed for military and intelligence missions with enhanced security features, while SpaceX‘s standard Starlink broadband service is aimed at consumer and commercial use.

The ongoing disputes, which have not previously been reported, underscore how the Pentagon’s growing reliance on SpaceX is handing Musk greater leverage over a critical layer of U.S. national security – at a time when SpaceX is seeking to boost revenue ahead of an IPO next month that could be among the biggest in history.
Unlike consumer Starlink terminals available at stores including Walmart, SpaceX sells a military-specific version called Starshield to the Pentagon under a 2023 agreement. Starshield terminals can connect to both commercial Starlink satellites and a separate, more secure constellation, also called Starshield, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Operation Rubicon was a joint covert operation carried out by the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the West German Federal Intelligence Service (BND) during the Cold War. The operation involved the acquisition and operation of a Swiss company called Crypto AG, which was a leading manufacturer of encryption machines used by governments, militaries, and intelligence agencies around the world.
Under Operation Rubicon, the CIA and BND secretly purchased Crypto AG and then modified the encryption machines to allow the intelligence agencies to eavesdrop on the communications of foreign governments and intelligence services that used the machines. The operation reportedly began in the 1950s and continued until the early 2000s.
The operation was considered one of the most successful and longest-running espionage operations of the Cold War, allowing the CIA and BND to intercept and decipher sensitive communications from numerous countries, including Iran, Argentina, and Libya. However, the operation was eventually exposed in 2020 through investigative reporting by several news organizations, leading to widespread criticism of the intelligence agencies involved and calls for greater transparency and accountability in intelligence operations.

Im Internet sind alle gleich, so dachten noch zu Beginn des Millenniums viele Menschen hoffnungsvoll. Als es Ende der 1950er-Jahre von militärischen Thinktanks aus nach und nach in die Wissenschaft und eine zunächst noch kleine Öffentlichkeit fand, glich das Internet einer Utopie. Hinter der Maske der Anonymität sollten alle Nutzer*innen gleich sein und somit alle die gleichen Rechte haben. Keine Hierarchien – auch nicht zwischen den User*innen in verschiedenen Ländern.
Doch diese Hoffnung vom Internet als einem diskriminierungsfreien Raum bleibt bis heute eine Illusion. Im Gegenteil: Machtstrukturen sind schon in der technischen Infrastruktur fest angelegt. Sie führen die Geschichte des Kolonialismus auch in der virtuellen Sphäre fort: in Gestalt des „digitalen“ oder „elektronischen Kolonialismus“.

Everyone is equal on the Internet; at least that’s what many people optimistically thought at the beginning of the millennium. When it gradually found its way in the late 1950s from military think tanks into academia and then initially a small public sphere, the Internet was considered a utopia. Hidden behind the mask of anonymity, all users would be equal and therefore would all have equal rights. There would be no hierarchies – not even among users in different countries.
Yet this hope that the Internet would be a non-discriminatory space remains an illusion to this day. Quite to the contrary, power structures are already firmly established in its technical infrastructure. They continue the history of colonialism in the virtual sphere in the form of “digital” or “electronic colonialism.”

Starlink is far more than a commercial connectivity service. It is strategic infrastructure that increasingly shapes how wars are fought, how states manage internal unrest, and how criminal networks operate in ungoverned spaces. What makes Starlink so politically consequential is not just its globe-spanning reach but also the governance model behind it.
A private company is now a gatekeeper in orbit, helping decide who connects as well as where, under what conditions, and with what technical constraints. In a growing number of conflicts, these decisions carry military and political effects that states struggle to replicate or control. If many strategic supply chains now depend on private firms, Starlink is an unusually concentrated case of private discretion over public security functions.
Zusätzliche automatisierte Systeme, darunter eines namens „Where’s Daddy“, das hier ebenfalls erstmals enthüllt wird, wurden speziell eingesetzt, um die Zielpersonen aufzuspüren und Bombenangriffe durchzuführen, wenn diese die Wohnhäuser ihrer Familien betreten hatten.
Das Ergebnis war, wie die Quellen bezeugten, dass Tausende Palästinenser – die meisten davon Frauen und Kinder oder Menschen, die nicht an den Kämpfen beteiligt waren – „aufgrund der Entscheidungen des KI-Programms“ durch israelische Luftangriffe ausgelöscht wurden, insbesondere in den ersten Wochen des Krieges.
„Wir waren nicht daran interessiert, [Hamas-]Aktivisten nur dann zu töten, wenn sie sich in einem Militärgebäude befanden oder an einer militärischen Aktivität beteiligt waren“, erklärte A., ein Geheimdienstoffizier, gegenüber +972 und Local Call. „Im Gegenteil, die IDF bombardierte sie ohne zu zögern in ihren Häusern, als erste Option. Es ist viel einfacher, das Haus einer Familie zu bombardieren. Das System ist konzipiert, um sie in solchen Situationen aufzufinden.“
Die „Lavender“-Maschine ergänzt ein anderes KI-System, „The Gospel“. Informationen darüber wurden in einer früheren Untersuchung von +972 und Local Call im November 2023 sowie in den eigenen Veröffentlichungen des israelischen Militärs bekannt. Ein grundlegender Unterschied zwischen den beiden Systemen liegt in der Definition des Ziels: Während „The Gospel“ Gebäude und Strukturen markiert, von denen aus laut Armee Militante operieren, markiert „Lavender“ Menschen – und setzt sie auf eine Tötungsliste.

DoT (DNS over TLS) is a protocol that encrypts DNS queries using TLS (Transport Layer Security). It allows name service queries to travel over a separate, encrypted connection, preventing outsiders from seeing what websites a user is trying to access. DoT uses port 853 and provides strong privacy protection, especially on mobile devices and routers.

By default, your home network likely relies on a DNS server provided by your internet provider. However, these servers aren’t always the fastest and, in some cases, may even allow your ISP to maliciously track your online behavior. To that end, if internet speed and privacy matter a lot, you should perhaps consider changing your DNS server.
The best way to change your DNS server is at the router level, which will affect every single device connected to it.

A Domain Name System (DNS) matches human-friendly domain names to computer-friendly IP addresses.
When you type in a domain name like cyberghost.com, for example, your web browser sends the request to your ISP via your router. Your ISP refers the request to its default DNS server. The DNS server then supplies the relevant IP address so your browser can load the appropriate page.
A DNS also saves a local copy or cache of sites you’ve recently visited on your device for quick and easy reference.
It seems like a streamlined service; what could go wrong? Check the following reasons why you should change your DNS.
(…)
Incorrect network configurations or faulty VPN/proxy software can lead to your device sending DNS requests directly to your ISP‘s server, potentially enabling ISPs or other third parties to monitor your online activity.
The DNS Leak Test is a tool used to determine which DNS servers your browser is using to resolve domain names. This test attempts to resolve 50 randomly generated domain names, of which 25 are IPv4-only and 25 are IPv6-only.

Der „Gesetzentwurf zur Stärkung digitaler Ermittlungsbefugnisse in der Polizeiarbeit“, der „Gesetzentwurf zur Stärkung digitaler Ermittlungsbefugnisse zur Abwehr von Gefahren des internationalen Terrorismus“ und der „Gesetzentwurf zur Änderung der Strafprozessordnung“ legen die Grundlage dafür, dass Ermittlungsbehörden Gesichtsbilder mit Aufnahmen aus dem Internet abgleichen können und automatisierte Datenanalysen durchführen dürfen. Warum sie das brauchen? Unter anderem wegen der „hohen abstrakten Bedrohungslage“, erklärt der Vorspann der Entwürfe.

Das Gesetz verpflichtet Internet-Zugangs-Anbieter, IP-Adressen und Port-Nummern sämtlicher Nutzer drei Monate lang zu speichern, ohne Anlass und ohne Verdacht auf eine Straftat.
Behörden dürfen ohne Richtervorbehalt auf die Vorratsdaten zugreifen. Mit dem Gesetz gegen digitale Gewalt sollen auch Privatpersonen in Zivilverfahren auf die Vorratsdaten zugreifen.

Besonders alarmierend: Die geplanten Regeln würden sogar erlauben, solche Gesichter-Suchen an private Firmen im Ausland auszulagern. Damit wäre praktisch nicht mehr kontrollierbar, was mit den Daten passiert und bei wem sie letztendlich landen.
Gleichzeitig wird das Ganze mit einer Erlaubnis zur automatisierten Datenanalyse verknüpft, wie sie der US-Konzern Palantir anbietet:

The manifesto published by Palantir Technologies is neither a technical document nor an economic vision. It is an explicit political document announcing a new phase in the trajectory of digital capitalism, a phase in which it has abandoned its claim to neutrality and decided to unmask itself, revealing its full ideological face. Palantir is not an isolated case in the global technological landscape. It is one of several major technology companies that sell their technologies to systems of repression and human rights violations, and has been condemned by international human rights organizations, including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, for its role in enabling forced deportations, mass surveillance, and the persecution of dissidents.
Most damning of all, documented reports have revealed a direct partnership between this company, alongside other Western technology companies such as Google, Amazon, and Microsoft, and the Israeli military, providing data and targeting systems that were used in military operations on Gaza, making it an actual partner in documented war crimes against Palestinian civilians.
