This shit is a joke. If you're going to enforce an unnecessary tracker to tell companies what browser and plugins we're even using in order to be "enforced". Fuark OFF.

Britain admits defeat in its controversial fight to break encryption.

Tech companies and privacy activists are claiming victory after an eleventh-hour concession by the British government.

The UK government has admitted that the technology needed to securely scan encrypted messages sent on Signal and WhatsApp doesn’t exist, weakening its controversial Online Safety Bill.

I had to stay in a #library a few times to use the #wifi since #internet connection is still down in my home. And I came to appreciate libraries because it’s a chill environment for #studying and other relaxing activities. This makes me even more fearful of politicians’ attacks on libraries for having inclusive and informative material. #politics #chill #learning #Books

This shocking #photography was obtained from #Montana (#USA) over 17 minutes. It reveals the crazy number of #satellites orbiting the #Earth. Most of them are #StarLink (from #SpaceX / #Musk) and aim at providing internet to some remote places.

StarLink is not the only project for space-based #internet: there are also #Kuiper (#Amazon), #oneWeb, #Iris2 (@EU_Commission), etc... which will send even more satellites into #space

Older adults who regularly use the internet have half the risk of dementia compared to non-regular users

'Participants using the internet between 6 minutes and 2 hours per day had the lowest risk of dementia'

Oh! What about those of us who *don't* use it for 2 hours a day?!

The UK is poised to force a bad law on the Internet.

WhatsApp and Signal have threatened to shut down services in Britain if the Online Safety Bill includes restrictions that undermine encryption. The government is pushing it through anyway.

This is genuinely how I feel about posting on the #internet whether it be here on #Mastodon or any where else. We are all just farting into the internet our thoughts.

Also I love that we can modify the UI as a #MastoAdmin

Melissa Gira Grant thinks Democrats and progressives are being played by right-wing culture warriors, as Dems support the drive of the latter to push through a bill about kids' online safety. No one quarrels with the proposal to keep children safe online. But this proposal will go far beyond that goal, Grant thinks, and progressives supporting it seem oblivious to the full ramifications of what they're supporting.
