In the end you need a DNS that blocks all tracking…
And every government in the world that isn’t insane would in theory ban web drm
Only gets the job done when you are at home or have a constant VPN to your home.
If you’re tech savvy enough to set up PiHole you can also set up a Wireguard VPN.
Guess I’ll just have to touch grass.
Google, try pulling data from me being at the park when my phone gets left at home!
I don’t know how the government will be able to effectively ban E2EE and honestly I want to see them try
Tories are just trying to kick up as much shit as possible before they’re kicked out so they can blame the next party for the fallout.
100%? Impossible. But they can effectively ban it.
Pass a law that makes any US company, or company doing business in the US, not allowed to host E2EE-enabled apps. This now bans them from the App Store and Play Store. 99% of users won’t find or choose to side-load for android users. Then they can make E2EE actually illegal to distribute in the US. They’ll almost never bother going after individuals, but this effectively makes hosting a US-based website unable to distribute E2EE programs. So people will need to use foreign sites. Which the US can force ISPs to block via a whack-a-mole on individual sites.
This isn’t very likely, but hell Congress was decently close to banning TikTok for no real reason so who knows?

Montana’s GOP didn’t get the memo that it’s a stupid idea.
It seems like the great firewall in china, really scary times for the freedom of the web
What’s cloudflare done?
No high-profile cases yet, but some people are already concerned: https://crimeflare.eu.org/
Only works on http, and just redirects to https://0xacab.org/dCF/deCloudflare/-/blob/master/README.md
They’re all uppity that to use cloudflare proxy they have to terminate the ssl connection there. So technically cloudflare can sniff all the traffic. But that’s kind of the point of WAFs and Reverse Proxies.
I would argue that the sheer amount of data throughput that Cloudflare has, you’d have to really be on a list to be monitored… and they certainly cannot just log all data willy nilly.
I suppose this one is quite simple. How can they cache, if they don’t MitM the connection? I don’t think it would be technically possible. If you want the cache/CDN you just need to use a company you trust. If you don’t trust them then you don’t get the cache/CDN.
Correct. But people are viewing the DDOS protection, Cache, WAF, etc… functions as evidence that Cloudflare is obviously malicious and storing 100% of all data traversing them.
I’ve seen no evidence of that yet, and will certainly discontinue use of them if they show such tendencies. Until then, I will absolutely leverage their platform for my use as a paying customer.
I do understand the fear with their free platform though… They’ve gotta make money somehow, and I feel there’s probably a fear that is data collection.
