@phenomlab Ya’ meant FF?
fwiw, I can post above on community. But not on the other site I referenced, wh/coincidentally enough is also UK based. Although their server is, I think, New Jersey.

@phenomlab Oh, rly!
No cdn.jsdeliiver.net CNAME abuse rerouting to cdn.jsdeliver.net.cdn.cloudflare.net, eh? Hmm…
A couple quick links:
I’d thought I’d bookmarked the CVE but, alas, this too, shall pass…
Edit: Just to be clear: Yes, I realize that jsdeliver’s cloudflare games are totally out of your control.

Sorry to go off topic with this but having read a few sites previously when looking at different browsers the Brave browser cropped up as the one that offers the most privacy, no tracking etc.
Is there such a thing as a privacy free browser that doesn’t track you? or is that another reason to have a VPN

.@jac Cannot beat 'em? Join 'em and drown them in BIG DATA!!!
Literally https://adnauseam.io/
Here’s a link to the research paper http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1873/IWPE17_paper_23.pdf
Interesting and sweet “fsck you” side benefit is that not only does adnauseam drown the the big data ad servers in data it also costs the advertisers who subscribe to such services, as they must then pay the sites you visit “click thru” rates rather than mere “impression rates”, the latter of which are essentially zero modern days? Hence, not only is one confounding the data of the provider but also hitting their subscribers in both the pocket and marketing efficacy books.
A complex topic for sure. You thoughts?

@jac I’ve used this myself in the past, but admittedly not do much these days. I much prefer being behind a VPN.

@jac No, I do not. Although I kind of like the ideas behind it. Winning the ad/big data arms race is not going to happen even with use of VPN. All we can do is raise the bar.
The adnauseam approach may offer a bit of a warm fuzzy feeling in that “the victims” finally have some chance to play offense. I is a plugin so I suppose one could enable/disable as the mood strikes.
Just tossed that up here fwiw. Had my head into some other things as of late. Be interesting to see how much a drag on performance behind the scene advert clicks incur - both network and local resources side.

@phenomlab Meh, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet… Today’s testimony, which I watched live, is tame as a newborn puppy. Comparatively. Check this out. If you’ve the stomach. Be forewarned, some some sick 'chit crosses the “content analysts” desks
Facebook Whistleblower Reveals Censorship Guidelines for Moderators - WARNING
I don’t know what is going on w/my browser, but the link above fails to display. @phenomlab, feel free to edit this post as necessary to make it so. Gotta run.
Watched the first few mins and then bizarrely had a chat request on Facebook (believe me I don’t use it, I probably go on it once a fortnight if that to see how the family are etc) anyway the person requesting a chat seemed to send me a link to a dodgy X rated website that I of course didn’t click, but funnily enough as I was watching that first little bit I did think to myself what on earth am I doing with a Facebook account

Lest “we the sheeple” are delusional enough to believe/hope all this “subcommittee hearing theater” will result in consequences with any real teeth:
Proof positive: Talk is cheap. Actions are loud. And speak volumes.
Not to single Amy out because I’ll be I can do same for pretty much every politard talking head on the subcommittee. I picked Amy because she was one making some of the more pointed comments and also a former presidential candidate.
Hmm… Walk of shame anyone? How many of your elected officials are voting with their feet? I’ll be not a single one.
From website of committee chair, Richard Blumenthal:
Ranking member Marsha Blackburn, who is extra hip and also sporting Instagram button:
Senator Edward Markey, who d**n near busted an elbow patting himself on the back for his previous child protection litigation;
Senator Brian Schatz, HI
Senator Tammy Baldwin
You get the picture: Hypocrites to the last member. I’ll finish this up with just one more from “the other side of the isle”, lest anybody get the false impression I am favoring one side:
Well, the above is two thirds of the committee, I’ll leave those even remotely interested to do their own clickery:

Oh right, I’ve not seen it but I didn’t expect it to be as bad as it’s being made out? I guess I’ll have to watch it of course to know what you guys are thinking etc

However , you have to have pity on those who wouldn’t be able to post what they were having for lunch, or that pointless post around a venue they’ve checked into that nobody really cares about…
