This conversation seems to come up every now and again and lemmy seems to split between two camps:

• students, especially low income students who can't afford their own devices, will use devices to do things kids do (yes, this includes porn)
• schools, as part of their duty to provide a safe learning environment, have a responsibility to provide some level of filtering and content monitoring

Where that line gets drawn has to be an active conversation between schools, parents, and students. But this conversation often delves into "BuT tHiNk Of ThE cHiLdReN!"

Part of the problem is that the government is all for this, especially law enforcement.

Iirc the bar is much lower to get a subpoena for data on someone versus getting a warrant for that same person.

This is why privacy is so important. It's not just ads you need to worry about.

On the one hand, the UN making a resolution that they won't trust the results of the US elections would play right into the hands of what some MAGAs are saying.

But MAGAs then agreeing to any UN resolution, especially one that requires third party oversight...

I'd say the odds are even on this.

I thought audacity was purchased by some Venture Capital bros and was being enshittified.

Or am I remembering something else? Didn't they put some sort of tracker or something in their code, causing a fork?

This isn't random but does poison the well by clicking on every link the ad blocker sees.

I don't use it myself but I've heard great things.

He makes everything sound interesting.

Pornhub.

They have the technology and many of the features in place.

They can target the code though. They'll inspect the code, find ways to break it, and then kill it that way.

The sooner we can get creators off of YouTube the better.

I live in the US. If you live in a state or country that's totalitarian, then yes a VPN is probably a good idea, tor if you can handle the latency.

It's only a matter of time until both of those technologies are made illegal.

It depends on your threat profile. I don't go so far as to use it at home unless I'm downloading torrents or watching porn, since my legislators don't have a fucking clue how the Internet works and thinks they can PrOtEcT tHe ChIlDrEn by blocking porn.

I've started to use VPN when I'm on guest wifis, even encrypted ones. I don't want their owners to know what sites I visit.

Or it's just late stage capitalism where the product has truly gone to shit.
