Why backup when you can sell and then "explore replacing"?

Russian Roscomnadzor agency for the first time enabled country-wide bandwidth restriction to Twitter traffic in Russia to blackmail it into submission on censoring content considered illegal in Russia.
This resulted in a exquisite clusterfuck as mobile subscribers in Russia couldn't access Russian gov websites due to crappy DPI $95m technology, while some politicians blamed... the West in cyberattack on Kremlin 🤷🏼♂️
Роскомнадзор замедляет "Твиттер". Как это работает?

Complaining about the ecological impact of the blockchain is wrong because it implies the idea that it is useful enough in the first place to talk about the downsides.

Myanmar: Data on internet blocks and internet outages following military coup
https://ooni.org/post/2021-myanmar-internet-blocks-and-outages/
Our report w/ IODA & MIDO shares data on:
• Blocking of social media, Wikipedia, circumvention tool sites
• Ongoing internet outages
"The cracking of the expensive messaging app, called “Sky ECC,” was what allowed over 1,500 police officers across Belgium to be simultaneously deployed in at least 200 raids, many of which were centred around Antwerp and involved special forces."

@kravietz I remember someone launched a scare campaign on FB about "what do you think about the government teaching our kids Arabic numbers in school", and it totally worked as intended. Which scared *me* a lot.
Just to be sure - there are different media in the UK. BBC holds pretty good impartiality standards but Society of Editors includes people from UK tabloids which are the worst scum, comparable probably only with Russia Today. Except what RT is being (deservedly) criticised for, is forgiven to the tabloids "because they just do it for profit".

I wonder who was that first brain-dead manager who decided to put a second email field on web forms for "confirmation" and to enforce it being typed from the keyboard… Now instead of having the field automatically filled by the browser/from a clipboard with 100% accuracy, I have not one but two opportunitites to make a typo.
And I don't even wonder who are all those managers who decided then to copy this obviously broken shit in every CSM on Earth, because of course they did…
