A security nightmare waiting to happen.

Of course not. Implies they do their jobs properly.

Wrote a email to my MP for this exact reason.

The OSA needs repealing. All it’s doing is either teaching people to follow poor digital hygiene practices, or forcing people to follow more risky methods of bypassing the OSA controls.

Whole guise of child safety is laughable when they’ve made zero attempts to educate everyone (not just kids) on being safe online.

They can pry it from my cold dead hands.

WTF you on about? Firefox has the NoScript extension, which Mozilla recommends?

I have questions…

What was Meta’s defense for a social media site to need sensitive sexual and reproductive health data?

And if Flo was UK based, surely that data should have been covered by GDPR. How was Meta a partner with legitimate interest to PII data?

Can confirm, only video games in the UK too. Certainly not the 6th largest economy in the world worth £3.84 trillion. Nor a labour force with 74.9% in employment, that would be silly!

Was told it wouldn’t be allowed because you couldn’t restrict it using GPO… Until I told them they could absolutely apply those restrictions using GPO and even provided the ADMX templates.

They’ve been using OOXML for their file formats since 2007.

Or you know, map it to something useful?

Would argue its about control too.

When you control the flow of information, you control how people will use that information.

Zero sympathy. If they wanted to reduce the amount of illegal streamers, all they’ve got to do is make their content more accessible.

Release it on multiple streaming platforms, not just their own. Ensure its released globally at the same time. And get rid of the geo-blocking.

The lack of reasonable legal alternatives is what drives piracy.
