‼️ Google is about to disable all adblocker extensions in Chrome. Instead of letting the adblocker inspect traffic itself, extensions now have to hand Google's browser a limited list of filtering rules and hope for the best. This leads to weaker blocking and more ads getting through.

Google makes the vast majority of its money selling ads. The company that profits from every ad you see also controls the browser most people use, with Chrome 149 being the last version supporting adblockers.

For example, under the new rules, uBlock Origin cannot exist. For millions of people, that extension is the only thing standing between them and a wall of ads, trackers, and autoplay garbage. One user put it bluntly: "The web is literally unusable without uBlock Origin."

Shut up. You just want to control everyone but you don’t care about criminals rapes for children in real life. Social media and fictional has nothing to do.

[Cairo @CairoPega]

How about no. This isn't all about protecting children, it's about the anonymity.

[European Parliamentary Research Service @EP_EPRS]

Virtual private networks #VPN are increasingly used to bypass online age verification.

Protecting children online is a priority, with new rules being implemented requiring a minimum age for access to some services

NETFLIX Overtakes CRUNCHYROLL as Top Anime Streaming Platform in Major Countries!

[Pirat_Nation 🔴 @Pirat_Nation]

Proton CEO Andy Yen warns that mandatory online age verification could mean the death of anonymity online.

He criticizes systems that force users to upload government IDs, passports, facial scans, or biometrics.

These rules, Yen argues, would turn the internet into an ID checkpoint, they create massive databases vulnerable to breaches and enable government surveillance, censorship, and the erosion of free speech.

Instead, he calls for privacy-first solutions: on-device age checks that verify without storing data, plus stronger parental controls at the device level.

@IntCyberDigest Hit me up. I'm open into analyzing the information for my podcast, Asphere's Cafe.

[International Cyber Digest @IntCyberDigest]

🚨‼️ BREAKING: Crunchyroll breached through outsourcing partner in India.

A threat actor exfiltrated data from Crunchyroll's ticketing system and also managed to pull 100 GB of personally identifiable customer analytics data.

We've analyzed sample data and it includes IP addresses, email addresses, credit card details, and more.

An employee of their outsourcing partner Telus had executed malware on his system, which gave a threat actor access to Crunchyroll's environment.

@Purring_Lynx How disappointing that Proton can't be trusted nowadays.

[Chibi Reviews @ChibiReviews]

This is extremely scary news

Reminder that Cloudflare is a massive company that allows the internet to function. If they start bowing to censorship... its over

Himouto! Umaru-chan’s author revealed today that the character Umaru-chan was inspired by his real sister.

Unfortunately, she passed away around 2017 due to a rare disease.

CRUNCHYROLL is Officially ending their Free Ad-Supported Streaming Service on December 31st, 2025

This service allowed people without a subscription to watch certain Anime for free on Crunchyroll with ADs

[Cairo @CairoPega]

@ChibiReviews I wonder why

[nixCraft 🐧 @nixcraft]

OpenAI has been hacked. If you have used their API services, hackers may now possess your name, location, user ID, and other information.

[Chibi Reviews @ChibiReviews]

So a woman having breasts is apparently a problem and considered bad character design

Oh, fuck off

[Cairo @CairoPega]

Justice for Enderman. No one deserves getting falsely terminated by AI moderation from YouTube.

[Enderman @endermanch]

There it is!

[Cairo @CairoPega]

@ChibiReviews Hell.
