No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online Young people should be able to access information, speak to each other and to the world, play games, and express themselves online without the government making decisions about what speech is permissi...

The UK’s Online Safety Act doesn’t make kids safer online—it just censors the internet and invades everyone’s privacy.

“this £85 billion represents a direct transfer of value from the public to private owners — a sum extracted while storm overflows proliferated, leakage targets were missed, and river health declined”

The online safety act will do nothing to protect anyone , least of all children and is just surveillance dressed as “don’t you care about kids?”

Private data including criminal records stolen in Legal Aid hack MoJ says data includes addresses, national ID numbers, criminal histories and financial details dating to 2010.

At first glance this looks like a significantly deeper (as well as bigger) dataset than that at issue with M&S and the Coop, and so it is of concern in terms of personal data exposure

usually you use a face mask (like the paper crappy ones) and put some inside.

bonus points for colouring in the mask and wearing a dust suit like you just ram raided a hardware store! :D

April 2025 Meetup - Social I'm reluctant to say this months meetup will "just" be a social, as these have historically been some of our best events (and also Glenn might punch me!) All welcome to head down, have a drink and ch...

AppSec Ezine - 577th edition #AppSec #Security

thought of 2nd question :)

Is the AI a local model of some sort? Wondering if our data is beng sent to a 3rd party at any point?

Do we need the early adopter release to use it @garethheyes.co.uk?

I'm proud to be among 107+ security experts and organizations calling on the UK Home Office to abandon its push for backdoors into encrypted services. Weakening encryption puts everyone at risk. Read the letter and join the fight for digital security.

Sure, I drop MDMA with you and go nuts with you to *checks notes* squirrel wawa techno sounds.

both wrong, he means squirrel

I'm assuming you buy Yorkshire tea in the 1,000 bag quantity like me and therefore it won't fit on your shelf which is why it's missing in the photos, right?

Did you find an alternative? I resorted back to a list inside a markdown file that I just edit every day and never render into mardown 🙃

I have and will continue to. But you know why I say it here ? Because @bsky.app is 30m strong and growing quickly. The collective wisdom and influence of users here is far greater than any individual democrat.

I can't say it enough. Bluesky can be the influence that can counter RW media.

More than 50 Reddit communities ban X links to protest Musk The cascade of link bans came after Musk made a hand gesture at a Monday rally that many compared to a Nazi salute, which many cited in their protests, among other things.

Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead.

The best option is for you to stop using these platforms. They don't care about truth or damage inflicted by lies. They care about revenue. Notes still allow BS to spread and often, at best, simply encourage more rage bait and participation. Give them the finger and leave.

We're still working on improvements for the OWASP thick client ASVS. Our latest release will be in the new year, until then the latest version is here: github.com/OWASP/www-pr...
