Hello all. The Afghanistan Government in the Taliban has totally banned the internet for the first time since 2001! Since taking power in 2021, the Afghanistan Taliban Government has moved and crept ever closely to the main issues for suppression of human rights and civil liberties. They banned Internet in one province, in the northwest of Afghanistan, based on "Morality Reasons." And there are grifters that said in that country, in the Taliban Government, "This will prevent Immoral Behavior," and look at what they did! It is all clear to see for all of us. The Government in Afghanistan is doing what many anti-democratic and a minority of the democratic governments are about to do. They grandstand about morality instead about self-regulation and clear communications of policies and moderation to private sector Service Providers of the Information and Media Economies. The Intelligence Economies now have to suffer because of the censorship and de-stabilization of the media environment in Afghanistan. Taliban Afghanistan obviously is none of the business of American Interests in military affairs since they never invaded us. However, these invasive practices in economic practices and foreign diplomacy leveled against Anti-American economic practice in Islamic nations will obviously backfire when we do such works to globally integrated and Dipolomatically Neutral and Non-Aligned nations, and the invasive practices against Non-Aligned Nations with Natural Resources will always backfire whenever the USA does it to the smaller and less free nations. I dislike being intensely mentally pessimistic, but it is terrible how the USA government often attacks non-aligned and smaller players historically, and productive changes can be made to correct the negative aspects of this history of instability inside smaller governments. We need to be at war as the USA government inside trade wars and leveraging the economic sanctions with only a handful of increasingly hostile and escalatory nations as a temporary negotiation tactic to pressure some of them to the table of diplomacy and negotiation, but it should never be lasting as a "Permanent Solution" as politicians like Bush would have us believe it needs to be. Only Belarus and North Korea and Russia and perhaps zero of the other nations truly deserve USA treasury sanctions, and the longer the treasury department sanctions regimes last per country that has the economic sanctions inflicted against these nations, the worse the harm is done. I also believe it was a mistake for TRUMP to Relieve BELARUS from the ECONOMIC SANCTIONS AGAINST THEIR STATE AIRLINE in BELARUS. Belarus practically is at war with the USA. Trump and Biden's cabinets effectively backed the Belarus Opposition Movements that were liberal AGAINST PUTIN and AGAINST Lukashenko in Belarus. This lasted until the Second Trump Cabinet in the Executive of the United States' singular Federal Government took power in January of 2025, and now all of that is being reversed superflously because of the brainwashing the Far Right are doing to President Trump and his Cabinet Members, namely Steven Miller and Pete Hegseth, and secondarily to Scott Bessent the Treasury Department Executive Government Secretary, and the Foreign Policy Secretary or Cabinet Executive known as the Secretary of State of the Federal Government of the United States named Marco Rubio, and also among the Federal Cabinet's Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. They now appear to be rapproaching BELARUS with Detente, now making a lesser inversely by reversing the Sanctions against Belarus' Flag Carrier in the United States, against the wishes of all the major European Union Governments. However, generally speaking, Sanctions also really do not work long term, in my own estimate. The longer the sanctions go on, the more danger there is to each economy burdened by the sanctions of economic instability or even collapse. The only government I think deserve the ire of the entire world by the extension of sanctions to them permanently should directly be the already miserably failing and collapsing governments that are expediting the belligerance and invasion against Ukraine, a partly-free mostly democratic state, with several issues caused internally by militarization of the Russian Communities Living Inside Ukraine. Russia and Belarus both intervene to the aide of the Rebelling Totalitarian Russian Imperial Militias loyal to Vladimir Putin and espousing Anti-Democratic and Anti-Westernization Sentiment, at a powerful time of Westernization against the powers of China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Belarus and North Korea and Russia, and eritrea, and now leading the fall of their ally Bashar Al-Assad. However, even Western Nations Are Not Out Of The Clear From Russian Aggression. Now, because not only of our democratic and recognized relationship with the government of Ukraine, we see that there are times where there are people who are manipulated by the propaganda of the Russian Government over the defeat of Russia and Belarus inside Russia and Belarus by their isolation and their subjections to torment by their dictatorships being made self-evident and obvious for the world to observe. However, now in several democracies, people see how bad the alliance between Russia, North Korea, and Belarus really is becoming harmful and toxic to Ukraine and its Democratic Movements inside their fledgeling nation. The way people are being made aware inside the European Democratic Nations inside the European Union is remarkable, as is how people are observant of such in both Labor-led Australia's government and Nationals-ACTNewZealand-Led New Zealand's government, in both Parliaments, separately and in unison. We need to be able to see through Russia and Belarus and North Korea's errors in transposing dictatorship onto all of us. The most essential thing to do is to maintain free speech, and free access to the internet, but to regulate in non-invasive ways. Zero-Knowledge proofs for age-verification without transposing government IDs is one way, Doing so while availing yourselves of exemptions from government-imposed ID Card Digital Data Storage. Avoiding the possibilites of Invasive and Intrusive Governmental Age-Verifications, and preventing blockages of content by age in manners implemented like they were implemented in Australia and the UK and in Texas in Dystopian fashions! Blocking IDs belonging to young people manually through effective human-monitored manual review of data collected from zero-knowledge proofs, without the upload of government cards and without the implementation of government ID Verifications or through Third-Party Identification of government-issued identities. Proper implementation of Zero-Knowledge proofs and manual review of data provided to zero-knowledge proof systems. Proper implementation of Captchas of verification. All these things prevent the spam bots from crawling the web pages on this website! And if you manually review the creation of accounts by AI bots, it can be liberating to just block the web pages of other websites from creating bot accounts just by creating blockages for bot accounts unless they provide textually the manual proof information automatically stored on the servers and VERIFYING It with a HUMAN Review Process, and by maintaining the blockage of accounts until tables are able to be manually verified to prevent the creation of inconsistent spam accounts! If we were to reasonably maintain that there are not possibilities from other avenues for the creation of spam and unverified and illegal accounts WITHOUT INVADING THE GOVERNMENT IDENTITIES OF THE USERS, But rather VERIFYING Their Data provided Independently and with Interview processes manually reviewed internally as part of the verifications for the Zero-Knowledge Proofs, With A REAL Human, there is so much more possible to be able to be done to complete the cycle for creating more regular and active…
