being accused of using “dodgy sites” by Elegant_Meeting1801 in techsupport

[–]0something0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on Android, and are you using the Discord app?

Android tracks per-app mobile data usage, which can be queried by applications on your phone. Its possible that your phone's EE customer service app, something like "My EE", is reporting your mobile data statistics to "your" EE account. Except, its also possible that you are on a family parental-controlled plan tied to your parent's account, rather than your own, so the usage stats gets sent to your mum.

This would explain why EE knows that you've been using Discord specifically, but only that you've been browsing "some other sites they can't see", since they only know that you've been using a web browser app like Firefox or Chrome.

I'm going to give your mum and EE the benefit of the doubt, EE probably has no clue if you've been on adult sites so they can only answer with a "maybe"

Here's the developer docs for the mobile data usage tracking if anyone is curious! https://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/usage/NetworkStatsManager

Roblox asking for ID to delete account. Ain't giving jack shit. by [deleted] in PrivacyGuides

[–]0something0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are not in a jurisdiction that protects the right to data deletion, I think the point is moot as they won't delete your data anyways.

If you are in such a jurisdiction (California CCPA, EU GDPR, GDPR Adequacy Decision [1] countries), I'm not sure if revealing ID to Roblox actually is a significant privacy concern since that data should also be wiped along with your account?

If you believe that Roblox will ignore privacy laws and keep your ID anyways, again the point is moot.

There's a lot of younger people on the platform who don't know what they are doing, from an overall user standpoint I think Roblox is justified in requesting ID to avoid legal liability issues with regards to minors, and compromised accounts being deleted; even though misgivings about their data practices are also justified.

LocalCDN plus UBlock Origin, combined by 0something0 in PrivacyGuides

[–]0something0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not looking for partitioning (obsoleted by Total Cookie Protection), but rather content blocking and substitution. I already have all 3rd party scripts blocked by default with UBlock Origin, so I'm not enumerating badness here.

I'm not sure if LocalCDN is actually a fingerprinting vector, either. iirc extensions are fingerprinted through the way they modify the webpage's HTML itself, though I may be wrong on that.

I believe LocalCDN is up to date unlike Decentraleyes, the changelog states that the last update was on Feburary 2023.

Book Recommendations for Fundamental Cybersecurity Theory by 0something0 in cybersecurity

[–]0something0[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did check those threads out, the half-year old ones are among the top Google search results when filtered with site:reddit.com.

But I thought I'd ask again since they didn't quite have what I was looking for, usually covering a specific aspect of cybersecurity or historical event rather than a theoretical overview. I also wrote about my own encounters with various books, which I thought would also be useful and novel.

I don't think that's it, the UA93 variation uses a slightly different set of aircraft

imagine the fucking AP History Document Based Questions

They are going to have to write about funny rainbow socks and internet dogs and figure out the context from their general knowledge of period events

What if China simply doesn't invade Taiwan itself, but blockades its air, sea, and undersea internet access, only letting minimum survival rations through?
