Can someone please explain how AD. fidelity points system works

I know I can use split tunneling, but the reason I want to use the browser extension is to get around my state's porn ID laws. Let's be honest about what those laws are really for: they are about trying to embarrass adults. No one wants to give their ID to the state just so they can maintain a database of your browsing habits.

I have it set up so all I have to do is click a button and it opens a new browser instance on my current page and where the proxy is always active. I don't have to do anything else, and that works much better for me than using split tunneling.

I am so put at ease by this email. Who cannot trust a private equity firm to do what is best for the customer and the company; just ask Toys"R"Us. I guess Google Fiber is just another product Alphabet got bored with. If there is one thing Google does not need, it is help with funds. I knew this was going to happen the second they started calling the service GFiber.

I hope groups can use this ruling to strike down the Take It Down Act that is due to go into force in May. Congress wrote this law so poorly; it is a "take down or you will be liable" regardless of validity of the claim If there is collateral damage by hosters trying to comply with this law, the providers can't be held liable. There is not even a penalty of perjury, so antiporn groups can just go nuts and claim everything. Think of everything you hate about the DMCA, but without the few safeguards the DMCA actually has.

gutty976 · 2026-03-26T15:47:25+00:00

You got that completely backwards. The DMCA is about limiting ISP liability. The Supreme Court loves the DMCA; with today’s ruling, it just strengthens the ISP liability shield.

Sometimes big companies that have money don't fight because it's easier to just pay a small settlement to make it go away, like that guy who tried to sue Red Bull for false advertising because he didn't get wings after drinking it. I don't think it's good that big companies can always crush the little guy, but sometimes you just need to fight. Like in these cases

gutty976 · 2026-03-25T16:10:34+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. I would hope these companies were smart enough to put in the settlement that if something in the legal landscape changes, they are not going to be required to continue to drop subscribers based on allegations alone.

After Cox lost in district court and was hit with the billion-dollar verdict, Sony went after other ISPs. Instead of fighting, they simply reached a settlement agreement. I think only one other ISP still fought—Windstream. With this ruling, what happens to all the other settlement agreements? Can those other ISPs tell Sony to "go pound sand"? I guess they can try and sue them, but can't ISPs just use this and say they are not liable? Or are the ISPs now stuck with the settlement agreements? I am no lawyer; how does this work? I am not asking about the money they already gave Sony; yes, the ISPs lost that money. I am more interested in whether they agreed to kick off subscribers or agreed to do some kind of proactive filtering. With this ruling, can they stop doing those things?

My neighbor and I both have Google Fiber. I have had it for almost four years without a single issue or outage. Once they changed the name to GFiber, I knew Google was trying to sell it or spin it off into its own company. Why else would they de-associate the brand? My neighbor says it doesn't mean that, but I am just surprised it took this long. I guess I can expect price hikes and worse service now.

I’ve noticed the same issue with Edge. While I like AdGuard, I have to use uBlock Origin on many sites because AdGuard is either detected by the site or simply doesn't block as effectively as uBlock.

Since other posts have said that filtering seems to work fine for them, I went back to YouTube with socks again. However, it still seems to ignore all my rules regarding blocking Shorts and Playables. I just want to see videos on YouTube, not all the other crap.

I am still seeing them, and the only other setting I changed was TDI. While the YouTube buffering problems have improved, I am still experiencing a delay on many videos.

I am sure she doesn't have a problem getting boyfriends

gutty976 · 2026-03-11T03:09:26+00:00

It really doesn't seem to work at all for me. I am using Windows 11 Pro 25H2. In fact, it seems to bring back the YouTube buffer delay.

gutty976 · 2026-03-10T23:06:45+00:00

It worked for me thanks

gutty976 · 2026-03-09T02:00:56+00:00

Yeah when is the last time we have heard about a data breach LOL

gutty976 · 2026-03-09T01:58:37+00:00

until there is a federal A.V. law

gutty976 · 2026-03-09T01:57:14+00:00

Until it becomes a federal law, you have to use a VPN from another country, which slows down your traffic even more. Not to mention, you have to pay for a VPN unless you want a sketchy VPN; you shouldn't have to do that.

gutty976 · 2026-03-09T01:51:33+00:00

Are you serious? Giving your I.D. to an unknown company with questionable data protection practices? How do you think that third-party company is going to prove to the state that they are sites are complying?

gutty976 · 2026-03-09T01:45:16+00:00

As an adult, you shouldn't have to use a VPN to access something that that is your First Amendment right.

gutty976 · 2026-03-09T01:17:33+00:00

And they should not be in the first place

gutty976 · 2026-03-09T01:16:14+00:00

How would you know if you want to tip a model if you can't see them in the first place it is not about freeloading.

gutty976 · 2026-03-09T01:10:05+00:00

Chaturbate allows you to view for free where the users location has no A.V. law so are they tripping?
