My bank used to complain that my browser was out of date. I wrote an email to customer service explaining to them that:

A) debian's "out of date" browser actually includes all up to date security patches. B) simply reading the browser agent isnt really security. I had simply been spoofing my browser agent to get around their silly browser "security" policy

They removed the browser check 2 weeks later. Not sure if it was because of me

I think the new name is awful. What is the connection to Toronto? Maybe there is one, but it's not obvious and it shouldnt require a degree in history to make the connection.

Was Mr. Dundas an awful person? Definitely... Did he have historical ties to the city? Definitely. Should we remove his name from stuff? Probably... But pick a good name that makes sense....

I'd rather have names in the city that remind us of our awful past rather than words that sound nice but have no obvious connection to the city

Unfortunately, its their platform and their rules.... And not even rules.... Their whims.

I dont know why people expect corporations to support anything other than profit. You want free speech? For-profit, non-free platforms aren't the place to do it
