So who's behind these porn laws that are popping all over the place?

They used census data to estimate the number of users under 18.

This is just BS PR from probably the least reliable kind of researcher, the social science crowd.

It's high time someone with any authority sounded off publicly about this.

Investors get rewarded for their early bets, and Adobe gets to bet on future profits and growth by acquiring some valuable assets and hiring some talented people this is exactly how it should work.

And? Companies aren't allowed to make money anymore?

That's not how free trade works or not how it's supposed to anyway.

You can't just go after a sector of your trade partner's economy just to compensate for your home sector's deficiencies.

Absolutely disgusting.

These people are trying to pass off censorship and government overreach as though it's some benevolent thing.

The epitome of a nanny state right there.

The US should start doing something about these foreign governments meddling in US business before it's too late.

EU and UK and seemingly everyone else is passing laws and setting up bureaucracies specifically to implement unfair trade restrictions and barriers against US companies and they're basically doing it unopposed, you'd think these actions would at least trigger some tariff threats and WTO complains sadly the government is in a self destruct spiral at the moment.

For now.

Malicious extensions are less likely to make it passed the review process.

That in turn should deter bad actors from monkeying with their extensions but more importantly it makes it less likely that malicious extensions make their way to users browsers.

It might not stop the offers coming but it might stop you from taking up one or more of them.

> Manifest V3 will stop this by limiting what Google describes "remotely hosted code." All updates, even to benign things like a filtering list, will need to happen through full extension updates through the Chrome Web Store. They will all be subject to Chrome Web Store reviews process, and that comes with a significant time delay.

So the author can't think of any other reason for this change other than to "slow down ad blocker updates"

Well how about stuff like this: https://github.com/extesy/hoverzoom/discussions/670

Where an extension dev details offers to "monetize" his extension and basically perform a bait and switch and make it malicious.

Pretending that V3 is all about ad blockers is more than a little disingenuous.

I can't decide if these people are so conceited they actually believe the AGI nonsense or it's just a cynical marketing ploy to string these reporters along.

Doesn't mean it is happening either especially since the code in question is still present.

At any rare you should probably confirm/disconfirm these kinds of allegations before you decide to publish it verbatim.

> For me, YouTube works equally well across Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Other team members also could not replicate this delayed behavior across browsers.

"Reportedly" also known as: "unable to confirm but we saw it on reddit so it must be true"

Yet another Reddit link. Yeah I'm not sure about this trend

The theory is Altman gave his eye scanning crypto company early access to openAI tech without telling anyone and what ensued is just FAFO in action.

You think too highly of the government

I mean AGI

No one actually believes in that baloney, not enough to fire the CEO over anyway.

Could be he misused openAI infrastructure/GPUs to prop his crypto company

If I had to guess I think it might have something to do with Altman's other company, perhaps misappropriation of resources to prop them up, like using openai services or infrastructure or even GPUs.

We tend to presume innocence until proven otherwise.

The abdication of parenteral responsibility is another element here.

AGs are elected politicians they campaign on this kind of stuff, so them being behind this particular suit doesn't legitimize it but probably the opposite.

It's worth noting that these lawsuits are based on junk and non existent science, so just because they're being sued it doesn't mean there's any merit to it. It only means that law firms, ambulance chasers, and grandstanding politicians are using some misplaced anger against Facebook et al to make a buck or raise their political profiles.

Well this is not a Google support forum so I don't see the point of this exercise.

They give you the option to pay for the service and not see ads, maybe you should look into that before fantasizing out loud about them taking your account away from you.

Firefox?

Android WebView got patched so there's that.

Is this supposed to be a counter example? These actions are localized to twitter and afaik no one has gone to prison for it.

Like it or not (and I don't) Twitter is Musk's property, it's his 44B toy and he can break it if he wants.
