Each CA is like a padlock locked in series with other padlocks. The weakest padlock is the only one that matters.

Is there a solution where we can compel parental control to be enabled by default on kids phones?

That would seem to be least intrusive option.

Using the internet in the UK/EU is such a horrible experience, every cookie pop-up is a reminder how badly thought out these rules are.

In the UK, wind is primarily in Scotland away from most of the population - people don’t build where it’s windy.

So transmission of solar should be less, as the sun shines everywhere, and people like to build houses where it shines the most.

It’s important to make it clear to Americans that this problem is mostly solved in other countries. It should be possible to end this tomorrow in the US.

That’s what it’s like in the UK now. Legal streaming is much more complicated than satellite back in the day.

As a consequence people have gone back to illegal streams where you can find all the sports on one menu.

This article is reaching.

I’ve logged onto secondary email accounts from PC’s that weren’t mine and could well have been infected. That’s what 2FA is for.

I wouldn’t use a PC which isn’t mine to login to anything sensitive. A password in a leak isn’t evidence of anything.
