I’m going to show off two versions of my lightsabers, which are shells used for defacements actually and which are forked from two well-known shells.
May the force be with you, always.
Cyber Anakin’s Lightsabers
Proposed United States Digital Legacy and Account Preservation Act (DAPA)
Proposed United States Digital Legacy and Account Preservation Act (DAPA) A Bill to Protect Digital Legacies, Prevent Arbitrary Deletion of User Accounts and Content, Establish User Control Over Post-Mortem Data, and Promote the Preservation of Personal and Cultural Digital Archives
(Note: It was written with the help of LLM tools. Further finessing are expected at this time)
Section 1. Short Title and Findings
(a) Short Title. — This Act may be cited as the “Digital Legacy and Account Preservation Act” or “DAPA.”
(b) Congressional Findings. —Social media platforms, major email services, and related digital accounts have become integral archives of personal memories, family histories, cultural moments, creative works, and historical records.
— Arbitrary or automatic deletion of inactive or deceased users’ accounts risks irreparable loss to families, historians, researchers, and future generations, including potential facilitation of “historic context attacks” through fabrication of records in the absence of authentic primary sources.
— Users expect permanence and control over their digital lives, not invisible timers or corporate defaults that erase data without explicit consent.
— Platforms should prioritize user autonomy, strong security, tiered storage, and memorialization options over blanket deletion policies.
— Major platforms function as de facto public utilities for digital expression and memory and warrant targeted regulatory oversight to ensure continuity of access.
Section 2. Definitions
Covered Platform: An online service, regardless of user count, that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), in consultation with the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice, designates as having strategic status based on one or more of the following factors:
Provides essential communication, authentication, or identity services relied upon by other critical infrastructure (e.g., email services used for two-factor authentication, banking, government services, or cryptocurrency wallets);
Hosts significant volumes of irreplaceable personal, family, cultural, historical, or scientific archives;
Holds substantial market power in a particular digital ecosystem or serves as a primary repository for user-generated content with long-term societal value; Presents elevated national security, public safety, or systemic risk concerns if user data were subject to mass deletion or loss.
Digital Legacy: All data, accounts, posts, media, messages, and associated metadata belonging to a user, whether active, inactive, or post-mortem.
Thanatosensitive Settings: User-configurable preferences for what happens to an account and its data upon prolonged inactivity or death (e.g., memorialization/preservation, transfer, or deletion).
Memorialized Account: An account placed in a read-only or limited-access state for remembrance, with content preserved but new activity restricted.
Designated Beneficiary: A person or entity designated by the user (via will, platform settings, or court order) to inherit or manage the account.
Section 3. Prohibition on Automatic Deletion Policies
(a) General Rule.—No covered platform may implement or enforce a policy that automatically deletes, purges, or renders permanently inaccessible a user account and/or its content solely based on inactivity periods of fewer than five (5) years, absent explicit user consent or a clear and documented security threat (e.g., confirmed compromise with no recovery possible).
(b) Non-covered platforms. — Inactivity-based deletions in non-covered platforms may occur only after: Robust, multi-channel notification attempts (email, SMS, app notifications, and secondary contacts) over at least 30 days. Opportunity for the user or authorized representative to respond, export data, or update activity.
(c) Tiered Storage Mandate.— Covered platforms must move long-inactive data to secure, encrypted cold storage with reduced visibility while maintaining accessibility upon valid request.
Section 4. User Control and Thanatosensitive Features
(a) Mandatory Settings.—Covered platforms shall provide prominent, easy-to-use Thanatosensitive Settings allowing users to designate:
Memorialization of the account upon verified death or prolonged inactivity of five years.
Transfer to a designated beneficiary (subject to platform terms and applicable law).
Deletion of the account.
(b) Implementation.—These settings must be configurable at account creation and easily accessible thereafter, with one-click data export tools in standard formats. Platforms shall honor valid wills, court orders, or successor-in-interest requests for access or transfer.
(c) Post-Mortem Access.—Upon verified death (via death certificate or court order), platforms shall:
Notify designated beneficiaries or next-of-kin.
Provide options for memorialization, data export, or managed transfer.
Preserve public or shared historical content of cultural value unless deletion is explicitly requested.
Section 5. Security, Privacy, and Utility Obligations
(a) Security Enhancements.—Platforms must apply automatic security upgrades (e.g., modern password hashing, anomaly monitoring) to dormant accounts and allow users to “freeze” accounts.
(b) Utility Designation.—Major covered platforms (as determined by the FTC, considering market dominance and societal role) shall be treated analogously to essential utilities. The federal government may provide targeted grants, tax incentives, or shared infrastructure support to offset reasonable costs of long-term data preservation, ensuring that maintenance of user digital legacies is not treated solely as a corporate liability.
(c) Transparency.—Annual public reports on retention practices, deletion requests, breach statistics (differentiated by account activity), and data use for AI training are required. Clear opt-out mechanisms for non-consensual uses (e.g., AI training) must be provided.
(d) Username and Address Management.—Platforms are encouraged to implement technical solutions such as third-level domains or sub-accounts to address namespace exhaustion without forced deletions.
Section 6. Enforcement and Private Right of Action
The FTC and state attorneys general shall enforce this Act. Violations may result in civil penalties up to $50,000 per affected user (adjusted for inflation), injunctive relief, and attorney fees. Private Right of Action: Affected users, estates, or beneficiaries may sue for damages, including emotional distress and loss of irreplaceable data, in federal or state court. Safe Harbor: Platforms acting in good faith to honor user settings, provide notifications, and implement security measures receive a defense against certain liability.
Section 7. Relation to Other Laws
This Act supplements (and does not preempt) state digital asset inheritance laws (e.g., Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act) and federal privacy laws. Nothing in this Act limits valid law enforcement requests, national security needs, or a user’s “right to be forgotten” upon explicit request. Preemption of conflicting state laws that mandate aggressive deletion timelines.
Section 8. Effective Date and Rulemaking
This Act takes effect 18 months after enactment. The FTC shall issue implementing regulations within 12 months, including guidelines for verification of death/inactivity.
Anonymous hacks a Korolev city’s library website
I, on behalf of the Anonymous collective, hacks a Korolev city’s library website as retaliations against recent Ruzzian provocations such as missile strikes on Kyiv and the spamming of graphic dead Ukrainian heroes pictures against members of a Star Wars themed server!

Statement regarding Graham Platner and congressional races across America
It has come to my great attention that Graham Platner has won the Democratic primary race for the Maine seat in U.S. Senate. However there are many credible allegations against Graham Platner that would suggest his serious incapability to handle important congressional tasks, ranging from support for Ukraine to investigating corporate corruptions.
Therefore, I’d be declining to endorse Graham Platner’s campaign at all. Meanwhile, I wish to offer my endorsements to the campaigns of Ashley Bell, Elijah Manley, Hunter Gorden, Jason Poulos, Julie Fortier, Lukas Ventouras and Mary Peltola to flip Republican seats.

Anonymous hacks IEC 104 devices in Moscow

Anonymous hacks IEC 104 devices in SPB
I, on behalf of the Anonymous collective, hacks IEC 104 devices in SPB with the backing from HUR to troll the SPIEF forum! Those devices may be related to the power generation sector, which is why there were forewarnings like this in order to avoid collateral damages to hospital operations!
Personally speaking, one of the reasons I committed these hacks is to retaliate against possible Russian involvements in the global push of privacy-intrusive age verification laws worldwide. It’s a well-known fact that Heritage Foundation, which has expressed feverish support for those laws, is reportedly linked to Russia through Viktor Orbán, among many entities.

Statement on the war in Iran
I’m closely following the developments regarding the war in Iran and I wish that the Basiji regime will get eventually toppled. Having said that, I don’t think that America should occupy Iran and get into endless wars with people who would stand against any foreign occupations despite being supportive of any efforts to topple the Basiji regime. Instead, the Iranian people have the sole right to decide on their own when it comes to replacing the Basiji regime with a better, humane government. Besides, despite my stance regarding the Basiji regime, the sinking of IRIS Dena constitutes a potential war crime.
Hopefully the war can conclude and the Basiji regime getting toppled by this July. In the meantime I declare my readiness in assisting the Iranian people in freeing themselves from the Basiji regime.

Statement regarding the Epstein Files
I’m deeply shocked by the contents of the newly released documents from the Epstein Files while being mindful that those documents do not reveal the full extent of Epstein’s scandals. Having said that, if anyone, be it Democrats or Republicans, are proven to be complicit in Epstein’s crimes, then they must be held accountable in the courts of law. Legislative institutions around the world must be encouraged to start investigative hearings to find out the root causes of these heinous scandals and find solutions to prevent them from happening in the future.
Besides that, I’m greatly concerned by the recent news reports from the Baltic States and so on that Wikipedia has been captured by pro-Russian propagandists, as the latter had reportedly been successful at inserting pro-Soviet narratives across many articles related to people from the Baltic States. Honestly I’m also shocked by the credible allegations of Wikipedia having its own Epstein-level scandals and is currently closely following the developments.
The greatest lesson from all these may be very well that we have to always keep powers in check.
May the force be with you, always.
