Because the modern system is that the parenting has been offloaded onto the school. The reason we have sex-ed is because we can't trust parents to do that.

The notion that the school board would simply ask a parent, then deal with the parents from kid A complaining that they read a book checked out by kid B is out there.

We run our schools to a lowest common denominator system.

Mixnet would be a solution. Like what you described, have inbound packets held for some period of time and released as a group so that you cannot as easily correlate the inbound and outbound traffic.

The downside is that it gets much slower, and feels 'bad' as an end user. Each packet takes longer.

That whole comment is "With a way harder method than going to the ATM".

I understand that it's possible to get crypto through obscure methods. However if you're selling a privacy focused solution, ideally you shouldn't have to spend 3-4 weeks to acquire the funds to purchase it.

Why do all of these new VPN solutions want some form of Crypto payment that has to go through KYC regulations to acquire... doesn't that somewhat defeat the purpose?

Mullvad with cash seems like a super ideal way to go. Why can't I just mail you $20 and call it a day?

Extreme claims require extreme evidence. The claim they have is that they were targeted directly, and signals encryption was broken (or signal elected to steal the data?)

I've never heard of these people or their "legacy chat application" that would be worthy of compromising signal. And they are trying to sell their chat application bundled on a VPN as "airgapped" from the internet.

Kinda feeling BS on this one.

ECH is not starting soon. CloudFlare haven't rolled it out to everyone and good luck finding a constant setup for it.

There are some experimental servers for it, but basically not supported anywhere.

It can be useful to solve the "blank page problem" i.e. to get an initial set of data to challenge. However it has zero customer data, or internal code to help with anything like that.

Doubt it would happen but I'd love to see CloudFlare support this for all their domains. Blocking them is blocking 1/3rd of the internet.

No it's not. No-one has claimed it is. The parent of this whole thread is "If ever I'm the subject of a lawsuit that'd require me to turn in my computer, I'd scrub it to oblivion at the slightest intimation of what's happening."

'So if I was being sued, I'd destroy evidence.' is a great way for the court to give you the hardest of times, and potentially jail time.

What's funny is when you ask that same question of a tech startup they simply say growth is what matters not revenue.

CloudFlare has been losing money for ages. I use it but seemingly everyone is sure it'll last forever.
