Rich-asshole/CEO-says-a-thing journalism. They say something completely absurd, and it actually makes its way around the news and memes. I swear, if we stop reporting these imbeciles and sharing this nonsense, half of the internet would have no idea what to do. The internet thrives and dies on these stupid souless pointless reactionary news articles, Tiktok dancing and tide-pod eating/trendy bullshit, and LLM stupidity.
For people who want an opinionated browser… Yes. They have sponsored shortcuts which cannot be disabled and they ghost out the option to in the settings. If you want to dig around the about:config and tweak things, fine, but I’d rather use a browser I can make my own. Librewolf is excellently bare bones.
Both. There’s a difference between showing some clerk your ID compared to uploading it to the internet. It’s not a question of if it being hacked. It will be. Denial of this is dangerous. If you don’t see this as important, you’re desensitized by the sheer number of yearly cyber attacks.
And that’s only the start. Children will only be marginalized. Protected groups will be increasingly threatened. Take your pick on whatever organization you want to look at, and they’ll say this doesn’t help anyone, except maybe foreign adversaries and hacking groups. What happens when the next government comes along and decides to make a more US kind of implementation? The point is, that we should not make this the precedent. Ever. Kick it while it’s down.
Explain basically every privacy, cyber security and child safety organization saying this is a bad idea, then.
What the fuck does “Opinion Journalism” even do? Go write a book or something. That’s not news, “it’s just like, your opinion, man.” Said with the authority of news.
