    …and this is why we need end-to-end encryption and other privacy tools, so that our children can be private, can explore, and can navigate an unimaginably wonderful Internet which we haven't yet built.

    Coming soon. Legislation to ban "that foreign muck" and reintroduce the thrippeny bit.

    Boris Johnson is to announce the return of imperial weights and measures, making it legal for market stalls, shops and supermarkets to sell their goods using only Britain’s traditional weighing system post-Brexit

    If you're an ExpressVPN customer, you shouldn't be.

    The at least until recently CIO of big VPN ExpressVPN is one of the three former U.S. intelligence operatives who agreed today not to fight charges they illegally helped UAE hack people. Kind of makes you think.

    There's much I can criticise about , but in its defence I'm content that the "creator economy" of 2025-40 will be healthy, given a generation of consumers raised on Sesame-Street-like "how it's made" short videos with this song explaining pricing:

    For those seeing this as proxy class warfare: I had / family could afford no home computer, so I have no stake in this game. I learned on school TRS-80s & Apple //e's, and then parked computing until I got onto a PDP-11 at University. To me, Sinclair felt a "closed ecosystem".

    I never owned a Sinclair, but I used enough of them. Alas & RIP. But I am not convinced that Sinclair, nor Amstrad, were as impactful in the long run as they were made out to be. Too much corner-cutting, too-much-"lock in". BBC Micro & Acorn, less so.

    People should not incite hatred on social media. People should not speed in built-up areas near (e.g.) schools. That's pretty straightforward.

    Also it is very telling that two (or perhaps 1.5) of the "regulations" which cites - speed limits and child seats - are obligations upon the driver/user. (I'm content to dock 0.5 on the basis of child seat quality control and ISOFIX)

    More evidence of the same: the delightful flexibility of regulations surrounding motor tricycles.

    Actually that metaphor doesn't entirely stack up; e.g. if you do not have a windscreen, windscreen regulations don't apply. These are not heavy regulations, especially in comparison to other industries like pharmaceuticals.

    Also, just to be utterly clear: deployment of end to end encryption at scale, vaccinates data (such as photographs) against risk of this kind of intrusion, leak, or theft.

    We ask both parents and children. (Not that exact question!) but 8 times as many children (16%) raised unprompted concerns about their data being stolen (i.e. protected by e2ee) than (2%) around paedophiles or porn. Slide 18.

    How many children have they asked regarding whether they want to grow up in a society where they have no unsurveilled space in which to explore or express themselves?

    As a parent, I find this prospect absolutely horrifying and also directly where things are headed.

    Indeed. I remain concerned about Apples on device CSAM scanning proposal. Given this latest salvo, I guess it’s time for me to directly ask the regulator responsible for data protection and privacy in the European state that Apple is established in.
