0x426577617265··on Google Safe Browsing can kill a startup
Right, I’m not saying they aren’t a risk. I’m suggesting that if a real business is whitelisted that a automated process shouldn’t be allowed to blacklist it without some type of human interaction.

I think the author highlights the main issue at the end of the article. This is where pressure needs to be applied. I get it, Google’s process probably protects a lot of end users from malicious sites. Getting a real business added to this blocklist by a bot though is not cool. Perhaps a process to whitelist your own domains if this power can’t be wrangled from Google.

> Google literally controls who can access your website, no matter where and how you operate it. With Chrome having around 70% market share, and both Firefox and Safari using the GSB database to some extent, Google can with a flick of a bit singlehandedly make any site virtually inaccessible on the Internet.

> This is an extraordinary amount of power, and one that is not suitable for Google's "an AI will review your problem when and if it finds it convenient to do so" approach.

Thanks. I've always just assumed if the masses of a society think something is unacceptable, then going against that norm would be considered unethical.

Amazon included some screenshots of content from Parler that they said violated their ToS. I'd say look at the screenshots they provided then try to justify hosting that content:

Aren't basic ethical views and societal norms the same thing?

Might be worth a search of court cases to see if there are any cases out there where Facebook provided WhatsApp messages to law enforcement.

> It seemed the vulnerability had been introduced in the latest firmware version. Even though older versions do not have this vulnerability, they do have others (such as this buffer overflow) so you should still update.

0x426577617265··on Facebook to move UK users to California terms, avoiding EU privacy rules
Well said, really sums up the problem. People I know and even work with have fallen in this trap and I have no idea how to get them back out. It’s like they are a completely different person. It’s not just politics either - it’s this overwhelming amount of information that they are being fed about everything.

> ... vs preferred method of displaying things due to the technical limitations of how they store information.

I don’t believe that is what the platform is doing. It is displaying content the user will most likely interact with, resulting in the user staying on the platform longer. It seems quite dangerous to me, as it could cause users to assign some sort of weight to the content, particularly if the content is well liked by others it could lead to the belief that ‘this is the correct information’.

Blocking traffic for known DoH services would be trivial. How about blocking unknown, how would you block that?

The issue is if it is loaded it would still show in network logs on enterprise networks. Regardless if the content was viewed or not.

I need to look into it a bit more, when I used Apollo images were loading so fast I assume they are preloaded before I even clicked on them. If that is the case, that’s not ideal for me - I’ve seen NSFW content make the front page, but I don’t click on it. Just not sure if it is actually loading the content regardless.
0x426577617265··on Front: The $1.3B Startup Slackifying Email
I provide oversight and technical reviews for a 10 person team. I also have a boss above me who needs information from me. E-mail was getting incredibly inefficient for me when everyone starting working from home earlier this year. I lost oversight and missed tasks. I was getting 25-50 emails a day that required some type of response or action from me.

I switched my team over Teams and asked them to create a card in the planner tasks if they needed something from me - instead of emailing me. That was much easier for me to keep track of everything. E-mail is good for communicating a thought, I don't find it good for tracking tasks - particularly tasks that have a deadline.
