🗂️ Plus-addressing: Unlimited free accounts with one email address
Want free unlimited account aliases without creating a new account or separate inbox? Use plus-addressing: add +tag to your email (e.g. [email protected]). All mail still arrives in your main mailbox, but each signup gets a unique address you can track, filter and revoke. Like this you can keep track of who leaked your email, if you for example receive spam. This is also a great way to keep your inbox organized. If you go to the settings of your inbox you can created filters to apply to that specific email address or +tag. For example to delete if it was made for temporary use only. There are many more benefits and applications for plus-addressing. Just keep in mind that this is a productivity tip and not a security feature. It also does nothing in terms of security or anonymity. If thats what you are looking for you should actually use a temporary email address provider and follow the basics of anonymous browsing. Stay tuned. Anonymity 101 course dropping next month (november). Images 101 course is live.

🔦 Lumen Database: Archive of Content Removed by Search Engines
Have you ever tried searching something on Google but got hit with one of these? “In response to a complaint that we received under the (US) DMCA, we have removed 1 result(s) from this page. If you wish, you may read the DMCA complaint that caused the removal(s) at LumenDatabase.org.” This is actually great! One of my favourite tools to find hidden gems online is the Lumen Database. Here’s why: It’s a public archive of takedown and removal requests. The kind companies and individuals send to Google or platforms when they want something deleted from search results. By searching it, you can uncover traces of content that used to exist: old URLs, filenames, emails, usernames or real names that often reveal earlier identities or hidden connections. Combine what you find there with archive searches (like web.archive.org), and you can often reconstruct pages or profiles long after they disappeared. “The Lumen database collects and analyzes legal complaints and requests for removal of online materials, helping Internet users to know their rights and understand the law. These data enable us to study the prevalence of legal threats and let Internet users see the source of content removals.” https://lumendatabase.org/

🔪 EDC Knife or Weapon: The Legal Linguistic Trap
The Dutch police recently announced a “record number” of 2,300 weapon seizures from minors in 2025, claiming a surge from 1,800 in 2022. However, a closer look at their own data and imagery reveals a process of statistical laundering that criminalizes utility tools and targets marginalized youth through demographic profiling. The Example: A Tool Framed as a Threat The police often use professional photography to illustrate these “dangerous weapons”. In one prominent image, an officer holds a black folding knife. An OSINT analysis identifies this object as the Walther Emergency Rescue Knife (ERK). Legal Status: This is a commercially available tool sold legally in stores. Function: It is specifically designed as a life-saving tool, featuring a glass breaker and a belt cutter for emergency situations. Technical Compliance: According to the official Customs (Douane) flowchart, this knife is legally NOT a weapon because it has only one cutting edge and is under 28 cm in length. By using a rescue tool to represent “prohibited weapons,” the police perform “Linguistic Capture”—redefining a neutral utility object as a criminal instrument before any legal investigation into its use has occurred. Statistical Laundering and Enforcement Intensity The police admit they do not know the “true scope” of weapon possession among youth; their numbers only reflect how often they choose to seize items. Furthermore, they acknowledge that the “increase” is partly due to changes in counting methods and “increased attention” from officers. The Trap: This creates an unfalsifiable loop. Any seizure—even of a legal rescue tool—is used as evidence that a “weapon problem” exists, which in turn justifies more seizures. This isn’t a measure of crime; it is a measure of enforcement intensity. Legal Discrimination: The Double Standard The sources highlight a deep systemic bias in how the law is applied. Under Category IV sub 7 of the Weapons Act, a legal tool only becomes a “weapon” based on the “nature and circumstances” of its discovery. This grants police total discretion to decide who is a criminal:
