COCK.LI IS ON RED ALERT.
COCK.LI IS ON RED ALERT.
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/31443410
Cock.li will shut down before becoming complicit in crimes against its own userbase by duress of any government or organization. For nearly 11 years, cock.li has remained one of the only public e-mail providers to allow registration as anonymously as a library card. The fact that it's still possible to get an e-mail address as easy as 20 years ago is a fact widely *hated* by international governments; at least the parts of those governments which have dedicated countless resources to target our service, our team, our family, and our friends with illegal surveillance, bad-jacketing, organized disinformation, and much worse. A combination of these illegal tactics have become so serious that the site is now in grave danger. The only way it's been possible for cock.li to weather this and stay online is thanks to the dedication of our entire lives to this bit. Our small team of 3-5 people have had our lives permanently altered and our stability sacrificed so Internet users worldwide can more-or-less enjoy the comfort of being able to access e-mail without requiring a phone number or other surveillance document. Despite the constant attacks on the service and our personal lives, no one directly involved has ever been paid in 11 years for their work on cock.li. The personal costs of this volunteer work add up over a lifetime, and as we get older we've slowly taken steps back to compensate, when we should have been stepping up. Stepping up is exactly what's needed right now, and we're here to do it. These recent issues have forced us to take leave from our jobs to make time just to keep the wheels spinning. I hope you can understand that is why, for the first time ever, I'm asking you to donate directly to the people who make cock.li possible. Your donation will make a real difference by telling us to use the money where it will help the most right now. We have a sizable war chest for legal expenses that has never once been used to pay us for our work. Problem is, if we can't make time to put that war chest to work, what good is it? We believe cannibalizing this fund to offset our lost time would put cock.li in a worse position, so by creating a new fund we can make it clear what we're doing while keeping our legal funds secure. It shouldn't surprise you that the people who are so passionate about this service are not profiteers or business people. We are private, unpaid individuals who don't want to see one of the last great liberties of this Internet fall victim to the criminal and violent attempts to shut it down. If these critical threats force us to change the world to ensure e-mail remains recognized as a human right, we won't hesitate to do it. We never once asked for personal donations specifically in the hopes that if this moment ever came, our userbase would appreciate that we were able to make it this long on passion alone, and trust that your donation will make the best possible impact. There is much work to be done. I will keep you updated as much as I can. Thank you very much for your consideration.

You can download this film here[1]. I don't know if the encryption key will ever be released, but if it does, you'll want quick access to that file. Furthermore, two more files are released today, 2024-11-12: ins10.luks[2] (555MB) and ins11.luks[3] (64MB). Please download these torrents and seed them as long as you can.

Just curious, what's in the torrents?
Anyway, leaving your jobs to have time for your side project is exactly how we get another core.js story. Read that dude's story.
Encrypted data. Could be backups of important service details in case all their servers are seized, leaked or sensitive data they are holding as leverage, or a private porn collection. Nobody knows until they release a decryption key.
Bit like wikileaks insurance files
Yeah I'm curious too, I just hope I'm not being duped into seeding malware
Don't use inline code / code blocks formatting for text. There's no line breaks and the syntax highlighting is nonsense.
I agree that using a code block is not the right way to handle quotes, but you can control the syntax highlighting in a markdown code block by adding a language identifier.

What will happen to my @horsefucker.org email
I like your email.
It seems they are going to update the message every two days. For example, if you look at the message right now, it already has some differences.
Seems like the website is dead now, RIP
Honestly I hope it shuts down. This provider caters to racists, fascists, misogynists and the like.
Not to mention I don't know why anyone would use a provider that was happy to warn people they aren't trustworthy.
To send cocks to people. You clearly aren’t a cock enthusiast. It’s a tor friendly email address. Anonymously making anything in this day and age is as rare as nuclear elements.

That's the most honest statement, because that's email by nature. If you don't encrypt anything yourself with PGP, emails will be readable by the server and there is no way around it, some providers have automatic encryption between users of the same provider (e.g. Proton) but that's most likely less than 1% of your email traffic, unless you really use it to chat (for which there are much better suited tools already), most the others will be on their popular service that doesn't do encryption at rest, let alone in transit (and I mean one where they don't hold the keys) and, if you want to contact them, you either put up with the fact that your conversation is exposed or you convince them to set up PGP
Yep, and in the statement they're referring to, it explicitly suggests that their users should set up PGP.
I don’t like the crowd they cater to but in my heart I’m forever 9 years old and I want to keep my @loves.dicksinhisan.us email addressOk fuck them I hadn’t seen the removed domains
Just some sauce with removed domains: https://web.archive.org/web/20210201004307/https://cock.li/
Not sure if that's what the commenter meant, but anyway, the questionable domains:

Oof
Anybody was able to use it. Including people you may not like.
Not the point in the slightest.
Lot of people feel the need to explain to me why a service that used domains like rape.lol is totally fine to support.
But sure, maybe you all just growing out of your pro hitler phase and I'm being unfair for not letting you grow.
Honestly I hope it shuts down. This provider caters to racists, fascists, misogynists and the like.
Who gives a fuck? Corporate social media cater to idiots too, just more common varieties.
Why does it matter what Kanye tweets about if I enjoy his music? Why do the politics of my favorite FOSS program's maintainer matter, or what commentary they include in documentation, or the presence/lack of a flag in a social media handle? Why does it matter that a public demonstration I'm at has some fellow demonstraters whose lifestyles/politics I find abhorrent?
All you advertise to the world with this fearful mindset is that your behaviour will change on a dime given the slightest chance of bad optics. It's a rotten way to live life.
Governments and marketers absolutely love people who think like that.
You seem very proud to stand up for the other fascists in the room.
Why does it matter what Kanye tweets about if I enjoy his music?
Spouting antisemitic propaganda to millions of followers. Totally cool as long as his songs are hits. Got it. Strong moral compass you got there.
You are very much the person I figured would stand up for cock.li
