A decent filter on a network (think pi-hole and next dns and the like) helps block adverts, trackers, scam sites, shady pop ups as well as bog standard porn sites etc

Internet is full of things that it’s easy to accidentally stumble on that you wouldn’t want a young kid to see and I think it’s a reasonable step to have some basic levels of controls on your own network

The onus is on the parents to manage internet access in a way the feel best and shouldn’t be forced or assumed. definitely not to porn sites (or any other site!) to collect entirely unnecessary personal data which would inevitably get leaked.

Not surprising. I used to update every 2 years but my last couple have had a 3 or 4 year gap.

As it should be really. These can be very expensive devices that only make sense if you get a decent life out of them.

Pretty cool, thanks for posting. This will be really useful

Absolutely not

I get that. First ep laid it on pretty thick. Hopefully it picks up as the season goes on. Still very watchable though even if doesn’t reach the heights that Futurama is known for

The bit about moving email services can help privacy indirectly at least.. If a provider no longer meets your privacy needs you can move to another that does.

That’s much harder when you don’t have your own personal domain

It may not be “sworn on a bible true true true” but it could be used to help build up evidence along with other sources or identify people to target for further investigation.

Absolutely shouldn’t be enough on it’s own to be able to get warrants or forces companies like Reddit to give out private information… but there’s be a line somewhere between “someone said they downloaded a movie” and “someone has admitted to committing or planning a horrible violent crime” where law enforcement would be justified in getting warrants. It should follow strict oversight and justification like warrants for “real life” things (I say “should” as in the moral should… no idea how good US laws are around this stuff or how well they are followed”)

Edit: they would also need to justify that the comments seem to be actually true or are likely to be true.. chasing down every idiot who says something stupid on the internet would bankrupt any police force and not help anyone.

Also… use a VPN! governments & police are overreaching and individual privacy is important to protect.

Organic maps is really useful. As well as degoogling and general privacy you can download entire country maps for offline navigation & support CarPlay - (having an offline map absolutely saved my bacon recently when I had zero phone signal)

1Password has a blog post that talks about it here. https://blog.1password.com/1password-2fa-passwords-codes-together/

Ultimately it depends on your threat model and security vs convenience.
