Man that cookie banner is unhinged. WTF, Neowin?
How is that legal?
Kinda feels like it’s fishing for data about what particular types of data people are ok sharing and don’t want to share.
Kill all the kids.
namely, ISPs being required by law to ship routers to customers with a family DNS pre-configured. Candidate family DNS services that I am thinking of include Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.3 […]
There’s StevenBlack hosts, no need to centralize DNS to a provider with a shocking privacy policy.
They’re not doing it to protect kids.
They are not doing it to protect kids, don’t perpetuate the bullshit claim used to surveil the globe.
*Government: [insert blatant authoritarian/fascist requirement]… for the benefit of the kids. *
Its probably smarter to assume that every decision a gov makes is an attempt at backdoor-ing more surveillance.
Children, terrorism, criminals or drugs. If one argument stops working they’ll move to the next one.
Meh private sector fucking up Internet went into overdrive about 15 years ago.
I would argue that started happening the moment they got online. The dot com crash didn’t happened for nothing.
The dot com crash was idiot VC money trying to open, mymonkeyshit.com.
The internet was a blast in the 90s until about 2015.
Some of it was VC money, but quite a bit of it was the exact same thing that happened when the App Store became popular. People were going out of their way to try to create things that would be bought out by larger companies.
I was around in the 2000s when YouTube got bought by Google. I don’t disagree that the Internet used to be a blast, but I do disagree that corporate interests weren’t already fucking it up and going into overdrive by the end of the 90s.
That’s why we pay politicians to regulate them in a sensible non-for-their-profit manner.
Will that translate into less school shootings and teachers raping children?
Of course not! They’re doing that to protect children as well.
Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way…
To fuck up the internet? I think they are trying on all fronts to be honest…
