Mullvad VPN: Introducing Defense against AI-guided Traffic Analysis (DAITA) (mullvad.net)

Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN (or the Tor Network), advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we now introduce DAITA.

Through constant packet sizes, random background traffic and data pattern distortion we are taking the first step in our battle against sophisticated traffic analysis.

"let's block people with opinions I don't like"

I don't think a lot of them are actually people, but rather LLMs. Also, does it count as "people with opinions" when it's shills paid to spread authoritarian propaganda?

I do agree we should limit personal blocking, but that's because we need to collectively manage the Fediverse. There's no budget for countering misinformation campaigns, just us.

Instances blocking propaganda instances, on the other hand, is fantastic. It's what we need for the Fediverse to survive instead of going the way of Voat and other extremist communities.
