China’s botched Great Firewall upgrade invites attacks on its censorship infrastructure: Attempts to censor QUIC traffic create chance to block access to offshore DNS resolvers

Despite QUIC handshake packets being encrypted, the Great Firewall of China (GFW) has begun blocking QUIC connections to specific domains since April 7, 2024. In this work, we measure and characterize the GFW’s censorship of QUIC to understand how and what it blocks. Our measurements reveal that the GFW decrypts QUIC Initial packets at scale, applies heuristic filtering rules, and uses a blocklist distinct from its other censorship mechanisms. We expose a critical flaw in this new system: the computational overhead of decryption reduces its effectiveness under moderate traffic loads. We also demonstrate that this censorship mechanism can be weaponized to block UDP traffic between arbitrary hosts in China and the rest of the world. We collaborate with various open-source communities to integrate circumvention strategies into Mozilla Firefox, the quic-go library, and all major QUIC-based circumvention tools.

Exposing and Circumventing SNI-based QUIC Censorship of the Great Firewall of China

Since April 2024, the Great Firewall of China (GFW) has been censoring QUIC traffic to specific domains. Our findings show the GFW decrypts QUIC Initial packets at scale and employs a unique blocklist.

European creators reject AI Act implementation measures: A coalition of European creative industries formally condemns new AI guidelines as inadequate protection for intellectual property rights.

Despite the extensive, highly detailed and good-faith engagements by rightsholder communities throughout this process, the final outcomes fail to address the core concerns which our sectors – and the millions of creators and companies active in Europe which we represent – have consistently raised. The result is not a balanced compromise; it is a missed opportunity to provide meaningful protection of intellectual property rights in the context of GenAI and does not deliver on the promise of the EU AI Act itself.
The feedback of the primary beneficiaries these provisions were meant to protect has been largely ignored in contravention of the objectives of the EU AI Act as determined by the co-legislators and to the sole benefit of the GenAI model providers that continuously infringe copyright and related rights to build their models. In 2024, the cultural and creative sectors across Europe welcomed the principles of responsible and trustworthy AI enshrined in the EU AI Act, intended to ensure mutually beneficial growth of innovation and creativity in Europe.
Today, with the EU AI Act implementing package as it stands, thriving cultural and creative sectors and copyright intensive industries in Europe which contribute nearly 7% of EU GDP, provide employment for nearly 17 million professionals and have an economic contribution larger than European pharmaceutical, automobile or high-tech industries, are being sold out in favour of those GenAI model providers. The deployment of GenAI models which also make extensive use of scraping is already underway. The damage to and unfair competition with the cultural and creative sectors can be seen each day. The cultural and creative sectors must be safeguarded, as they are the foundations of our cultures and the Single Market. We wish to make it clear that the outcome of these processes does not provide a meaningful implementation of the GPAI obligations under the AI Act.
We strongly reject any claim that the Code of Practice strikes a fair and workable balance or that the Template will deliver “sufficient” transparency about the majority of copyright works or other subject matter used to train GenAI models. This is simply untrue and is a betrayal of the EU AI Act’s objectives.

Joint statement by a broad coalition of rightsholders regarding the AI Act implementation measures adopted by

EPC joins a broad coalition of European and global authors, performers, publishers, producers and other rightsholder organisations, to formally express our dissatisfaction with the published GPAI Code of Practice, the GPAI Guidelines, and the Templat…

Thoughts on Briar?

Is Briar a good option for encrypted messaging and file transfer?

After the Matrix file upload limit thing, I'm looking to move away from the messages stored on a server paradigm both to avoid having to pay for file uploads and because it doesn't make sense to host files on a server indefinitely if they're only intended for one other person and don't need to be kept for very long.

In Briar, it's only possible to send images - not any other file, as of this writing.

They have a very clear stance on not rushing releases, and focusing on security and stability rather than features, which is laudable, but on the flip side that means one must probably wait for months, if not years, for new features.

Also have a look at Jami. You can use it for calls and sharing files.

Second this.

message delivery can be iffy
VoIP works well
you connect with people like a normal app that isn't going to scare your family off, not trying to get them to put in GUIDS
it has all the creature comforts, attached/embedded photos, markup, attached files, attach pictures, share your location for 10 minutes (I'm on my way), history editing, deleting
it has concurrent multi device support, so you can get messages on your phone, tablet, and desktop at the same time
There's a full desktop client (Electron, i think 🤮 but it works)
the dev team is small and they seem to like to work more on features than user issues. development is slow
multi-person groups work fine

It's still the best E2E messaging system I've found; the only one my mom, wife, and sisters-in-law reliably use.

I just want them to focus on fixing the sketchy DHT that seems to cause every problem.

Why not just transfer encrypted files through clearnet?

Good for certain scenarios but not for the everyday use, I would love to see that adaptability improved for the "chilling common situations" in the future.

SimpleX is my main atm, it can transfer files effectively.

Just use matrix from somewhere other than matrix.org.

For file transfers i have been using magic wormhole

I like the idea of briar, but i havent gotten into using it regularly with anyone yet.
