Mozilla adds free VPN to Firefox 149, but I am not sold on the idea

HTTP 트래픽의 상당 부분이 연령 확인으로 차단되는 날이 올 수 있다고 경고하면서, 암호화 통신과 규제 회피 측면에서 SSH 기반 개발을 권장함. 규제가 강화될 경우 안전하고 규제하기 어려운 통신 수단으로의 이전을 촉구하는 기술적 제언.

MPs give ministers powers to restrict entire Internet | Open Rights Group

MPs have rejected a Lords amendment to the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill that would allow a social media ban for under 16s. Instead, they have voted to give ministers much broader powers which could be used to restrict Internet access to under 18s... 😳

Warum ich 1000 E-Mail-Adressen nutze - und warum Du das auch tun solltest

Die meisten Menschen nutzen eine einzige E-Mail-Adresse für alles: Online-Shops, Foren, Newsletter, Apps und soziale Netzwerke. Klingt praktisch – ist aber ein Sicherheitsproblem. Denn sobald diese Adresse in einem Datenleck landet, verbreitet sie sich unkontrolliert im Netz. Spam, Phishing und dubiose Werbung sind dann nur eine Frage der Zeit.

Ich gehe einen anderen Weg: Für jeden Dienst verwende ich eine eigene E-Mail-Adresse. Möglich macht das eine simple Technik namens Catch-All. Das Ergebnis ist überraschend effektiv: Ich erkenne sofort, woher Spam kommt, kann einzelne Adressen gezielt abschalten und behalte die Kontrolle über meinen Posteingang.

After signing out of Netflix on the hotel TV before going to sleep, I browsed around all the various internet-connected apps and streaming services…

…and logged out of probably 6 or 7 other accounts (no name duplicates) in various apps.

Wild that people just leave these connections “lying around” all over the place.

Probably worthless me signing those other people’s accounts out, but still…
