EU-Rat treibt die Chatkontrolle wieder an
Der ehemalige deutsche Europaabgeordnete der Piratenpartei, Patrick Breyer, sieht darin klar „Massenüberwachung unter anderem Namen“. Ziel von Rat, Kommission und einigen Mitgliedstaaten sei es, „Massenüberwachung in ganz Europa dauerhaft zu normalisieren“.
Der Vorschlag, „Teile eines Dienstes“ zu scannen, würde in der Praxis bedeuten, dass „jeder Nutzer in der EU“ betroffen wäre, so Breyer.
Zudem handle es sich nicht um ein neues System, das das alte ersetze, sondern um eines, das parallel dazu existieren würde. Das alte System sei eine „erwiesene Katastrophe“: In Deutschland richteten sich über die Hälfte der Ermittlungen gegen Minderjährige wegen „einvernehmlichen Sextings“, während 75 Prozent der gemeldeten Chats „nicht verwertbar“ seien.
How to Change DNS on Your Router (All Brands)
Why Change DNS at the Router Level
By default, your router hands out your ISP‘s DNS servers to every connected device via DHCP. Setting DNS on the router itself — rather than on each individual device — means every device on the network inherits the new resolver automatically, including devices you can‘t easily configure yourself (smart TVs, IoT sensors, guest devices).
Router-level DNS is the right layer for three common goals: faster page-load times from a lower-latency resolver, ad/tracker filtering through resolvers like NextDNS or AdGuard DNS, and defending against DNS hijacking, where malware or a compromised ISP silently redirects your DNS queries. If your router‘s DNS settings changed and you didn‘t do it, treat that as a compromise signal — check for unauthorized WAN DNS entries first.
Router DNS is a WAN-side setting, distinct from DNS cache, which is a local, per-device store of resolved lookups. If you‘re troubleshooting stale results after switching resolvers, see How to Flush DNS Cache — a router-level change won‘t clear cache already held by client devices.

What is DNS over TLS?
DNS over TLS (DoT) is a protocol for the encrypted transmission of DNS (Domain Name System) queries. Name resolution on the Internet is typically transmitted unencrypted via UDP. With DoT, however, the assignment of domains and the associated IP addresses is encrypted using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol. This protects the transmission from interception, manipulation and man-in-the-middle attacks.
DNS over TLS: Definition
DoT is the standard (RFC 7858) proposed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) for fortifying DNS connections. In contrast to conventional DNS requests, DoT establishes a secure TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) connection between the client and the DNS server, which is authenticated and encrypted using TLS.
How to Change Your DNS on Any Device
(20.01.2024)
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.

Encrypted DNS Factsheet: What is DNS, and Why is it Critical?
(May 3, 2023)
While the DNS has been refined and extended since it was standardized in 1983, its privacy properties have not. As designed, DNS information is sent unencrypted across the Internet, and thus is viewable by anyone along the path, resulting in lack of privacy.
Perhaps the biggest risk is that it’s so easy to forget DNS exists…! It’s hard to know or care about something you never see.
BND und Verfassungsschutz: So weit sollen die Befugnisse der Nachrichtendienste reichen
(September 24, 2026)
Zudem werden Analyse- und Überwachungsbefugnisse ausgebaut, beispielsweise mit Blick auf den Einsatz künstlicher Intelligenz, Speicherfristen oder die Übermittlung von Informationen an andere Behörden.
(…)
Im Fall des BND heißt es im Entwurf, er soll bei einer „spezifischen Gefährdungslage“ auf Ziele „einwirken“ dürfen. Gemeint sind beispielsweise Hackbacks, also Gegenangriffe im Netz oder Manipulationen von Bauteilen.
Im Fall des Verfassungsschutzes sind einige konkrete Maßnahmen bereits im Entwurf aufgezählt, etwa das „Verfälschen“ von Informationen oder die Beeinträchtigung von „Tatmitteln“.
Warum der Verfassungsschutz schon jetzt heimlich in Wohnungen einbrechen darf
(August 24, 2026)
Die aktuelle Aufregung übersieht, dass die heimlichen Betretungsbefugnisse nicht neu sind – sondern längst Realität. Mitarbeiter des Landesverfassungsschutzes dürfen in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Hessen, Bayern und Rheinland-Pfalz heimlich in Wohnungen einbrechen. So sehen es die dortigen Landesgesetze vor. In Bayern gilt das schon seit 2016.
(…)
Das Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz darf seit einer Reform der Sicherheitsgesetze nach 9/11 im Jahr 2002 heimlich Wohnräume überwachen. Zwar steht nicht im Gesetz, dass der Verfassungsschutz dafür auch einbrechen darf, um heimlich Technik anzubringen. Allerdings wird das in der rechtlichen Kommentierung zu § 9 Abs. 2 des Bundesverfassungsschutzgesetzes vorausgesetzt. Der notwendige Einbruch soll also schlicht mitgemeint sein.
„Sicherheitspaket 2.0“: Sachverständige halten Gesetzentwürfe für verfassungswidrig
Mit Gesichtserkennung im Internet fahnden oder mit Hilfe von Software möglichst große Datenmengen verknüpfen und analysieren. Diese neuen Befugnisse fordert die Bundesregierung in mehreren Gesetzentwürfen für das Bundeskriminalamt und die Bundespolizei. Auch das Bundesamt für Migration soll per Gesichtserkennung Asylsuchende identifizieren dürfen. Die Reformpläne – auch bekannt als “Sicherheitspaket 2.0” – sind heute Thema im Innenausschuss des Bundestages gewesen.
Der Weg dahin war weit. Bereits 2024 hatte die damalige Ampelregierung nach mehreren Terror-Anschlägen ein erstes “Sicherheitspaket” vorgelegt. Es scheiterte im Bundesrat. Bevor ein neuer Anlauf gemacht werden konnte, zerfiel die Koalition aus SPD, FDP und Grünen.
Das war das Ende der Ampel, nicht aber der Ambitionen.

Brief History of the Domain Name System
Jan. 7, 1958 – President Eisenhower requested funds to start ARPA.
(…)
– Early 1967 – Meeting of ARPA’s principal investigators in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Roberts (the director of the IPTO) put forward the idea of a computer network. Wes Clark introduced the idea of a subnetwork: small, identical computers all interconnected – “interface message processors (IMPs).” Engelbert volunteered to the Network Information Center (NIC).
– 1967 – Roberts published paper on ARPANET.
– End of 1967 – The Association for Computing Machinery’s computer conference in Gatliburg, Tennessee. Roberts presented his first paper on ARPANET and heard of work done by Donald Davies’ team at NPL and Paul Baran at RAND.
(…)
Summer 1975 – The Defense Communications Agency (DCA) took over the management of ARPANET.
(…)
– November 1983 – The rapid growth of the internet caused massive problems in bookkeeping. To deal with this problem a group including Jon Postel, Paul Mockapetris and Craig Partrige published RFC 882 which created the domain name system (DNS) to make Internet navigation easier. With DNS, users can type host names such as “USC-ISIF” instead of “10.2.0.52.” Every Address would have information from specific to general.
Trump plans to form ‘AI Force,’ appoint ‘AI Czar’
The president compared his proposed “AI Force” to the Space Force, which he established during his first term, but did not elaborate on how the agency would operate or what its duties would entail.
For the new “AI Czar” position, Trump said, “Only High I.Q. individuals need to apply!” He did not expand further on the latest iteration of the role.

Rainer Rehak: Der gesamte Datensatz zu Gaza umfasst schätzungsweise 13,6 Petabyte, also umgerechnet 13.600 Terabyte. Diese Datenmenge ist nicht einfach zu handhaben, besonders wenn man damit statistische Modelle trainieren möchte oder gar große Sprachmodelle, die ebenfalls erstellt werden. Die digitale Infrastruktur wird von Google und Amazon unter dem Projektnamen Nimbus bereitgestellt und kostet 1,2 Milliarden US-Dollar.
Die Integration der heterogenen Datenquellen macht Palantir. Microsoft, Cisco, Dell und Red Hat/IBM bieten zusätzliche IT-Dienstleistungen rund um die „kill-chain“ an. Dies zeigt die enorme Rolle, die der private Sektor bei der Integration und Nutzung von KI-Systemen in bewaffneten Konflikten spielt.
Bernie Sanders urges Trump, Xi to negotiate treaty to pause advanced AI
“When the future of humanity is at stake, we need a PAUSE on advanced AI development and a ban on artificial superintelligence — an AI mind smarter than any human and capable of operating independently beyond our control,” Sanders said.
The US Senator further said: “At their upcoming AI summit, Trump and Xi must negotiate a treaty to pause AI and ban superintelligence before it is too late.”
AI development concerns common well-being of all humanity; threat narratives would disrupt global AI governance, says FM on calls to slow AI development
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Monday that the development of artificial intelligence concerns the common well-being of all humanity. He called on all parties to jointly promote the open, inclusive and universally beneficial development of AI for good, warning that spreading threat narratives, provoking confrontation and engaging in malicious competition would only disrupt global AI governance and serve no party‘s interests.
Why Tech Oligarchs Are Willing to Risk Apocalypse
(September 12, 2026)
Their fantasies of transcendence take different forms. Sam Altman, chief executive of OpenAI, once said, “I assume my brain will be uploaded to the cloud.” Elon Musk plans to escape to Mars. “We want to be on a path toward making true the things that we read in science fiction books and see in the movies,” he says in footage featured in Alex Gibney’s searing new documentary, “Musk.” “A future where we’re forever confined to Earth until some eventual extinction event is less inspiring.” Jeff Bezos, who stepped down in 2021 as chief executive of Amazon to spend more time on his space company, wrote, “We don’t want to face a civilization of stasis, and that is the real issue if we just stay on this planet.”
Some imagine themselves as digitally enabled Übermenschen. In 2023, the billionaire tech investor Marc Andreessen published “The Techno-Optimist Manifesto,” with a section titled, “Becoming Technological Supermen.” In it, he borrowed language from the Italian futurist — and fascist — Filippo Tommaso Marinetti, writing, “Technology must be a violent assault on the forces of the unknown, to force them to bow before man.” He quoted Friedrich Nietzsche to argue that absent such an assault, life becomes meaningless and small. In a section titled “The Enemy,” Andreessen listed ideas that would restrain technology’s momentum, including “tech ethics” and the concept of “existential risk.”
Trump brushes off AI fears: „Whoever wins AI wins“
President Trump brushed off the risks of artificial intelligence and warnings that the technology has gone rogue. The calls for caution were amplified by tech CEOs who say AI is advancing too fast. Ramy Inocencio has more.
AI and the end of humanity? OK, ‘doomer’ says one Trump official
David Sacks, a tech investor who is also co-chair of President Trump’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, has pushed in the other direction, toward an open market-based approach to AI.
Appearing on Fox News Thursday, Sacks questioned Coxon’s motivations and seeded the idea that his warning was part of a conspiracy by “doomers,” maybe financed by China, to thwart AI innovation in the US.
On Saturday, President Donald Trump echoed that sentiment,
Lawmakers are at a loss for how to regulate AI as insiders warn of impending doom
(September 9, 2026)
In conversations with POLITICO throughout the day Wednesday, more than a dozen lawmakers and aides from both parties said they were hopeful Congress would start taking the issue seriously. By Wednesday evening, OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer, Chris Lehane, was pledging to “work with Congress” to implement “mandatory, capability-based national AI safety regulation.”
But many also conceded that Congress is currently sleepwalking into a crisis, far from ready to tackle the stakes of the moment in light of both philosophical differences and intractable partisan politicking.
Top A.I. Leaders Call for Slowing Down A.I. Development
(September 12, 2026)
Dario Amodei, the chief executive of Anthropic, called for a global slowdown of artificial intelligence development in a 3,800-word essay on Saturday, just days after one of the company’s employees quit over concerns about the safety of the technology.
Top executives of other major A.I. companies quickly signed on to the effort. Sam Altman, the chief executive of OpenAI; Elon Musk, whose SpaceX rocket company has been ramping up spending on A.I.; and Demis Hassabis, the chair of Google DeepMind, wrote in social media posts that they agreed on the need for a slower pace.
DER TERRORKRIEG: Strategie der Transformation
(February 7, 2016)
….
– Aufbau repressiver und manipulativer Systeme durch den jeweiligen (entdemokratisierten und damit entfesselten) Staat, unter dessen Rechtfertigung mittels der Kriegslogik, zu dessen „Eigensicherung“ und der Sicherung der hier beschriebenen Kriegsstrategie und ihrer Programme.
– Förderung bzw Beförderung von Entmenschlichung / Dehumanisierung, Entfremdung, Technisierung, Bürokratisierung der Gesellschaft; Sicherstellung, dass Interaktion der Menschen nicht mehr untereinander, sondern über / mit künstlichen bzw (informations)technischen Strukturen implementiert wird, bis hin zum Punkt der Verschmelzung und organisierten Verwechslung von Mensch und Maschine („Internet der Dinge„, „vom Internet zur Robotik“, Biomechanik, Stichwort: „Transhumanismus„), nachfolgend zur langfristigen „Überwindung“ und Auswechslung des Menschen selbst (Stichwort: „Posthumanismus„).
– Implementierung und Durchsetzung eines entsprechenden kommerziellen gentechnologischen Komplexes, sowie des Konzepts der Eugenik in der Gesellschaft. Ausführliche Dokumentation dazu: „Welt ohne Menschen“.
– Vorhergehend im Einflussbereich zielgerichtete und -strebige Errichtung von biometrischen (Daten-)Banken, Speicherung der DNA, sowie genetisch-biologische Durchleuchtung und Erfassung („biometrische Identifikation“) der gesamten Bevölkerung als Vorbedingung für physisch-biologischen Eingriff.
– Forcierte Weiterentwicklung, Implementierung und Durchsetzung „Künstlicher Intelligenz“ (K.I.) nach Vorgabe von Psychologie und Menschenbild der militärisch-kapitalistischen Spieltheorien, „dem simplen Modell der Menschen als selbstsüchtige, fast roboterhafte Kreaturen“.
– Kontrolle der Reproduktion des Homo Sapiens, als logische Weiterentwicklung der Doktrin „Full Spectrum Dominance“ und Umsetzung vollständiger Bevölkerungskontrolle.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
(September 9, 2026)
Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible – but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first – they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.
