@redegelde Hoi hoi, dank je wel.

Ik had er afgelopen nacht en vanmiddag al naar gekeken, dat is ook de reden waarom ik je nu volg. (normaal gesproken kijk ik eerst even de kat uit de boom)

Interessant initiatief en ben ik ook zeker van plan om dit spoedig uit te gaan proberen. 👍

AT&T's flak sent me a note that I munged the link to their new terms of service. Fixed that, but then noticed the link includes a reference to Adobe Flash Player, which Adobe stopped supporting almost five years ago.

It's a real shocker that the FBI warned last year against anyone communicating anything sensitive over the US phone networks.

I learned a lot writing this, and there is a lot more here to pick at.

Ukraine has seen nearly one-fifth of its Internet space come under Russian control or sold to Internet address brokers since February 2022, a new study finds. The analysis indicates large chunks of Ukrainian Internet address space are now in the hands of shadowy proxy and anonymity services that are nested at some of America’s largest Internet service providers (ISPs).

"...A cursory review of all Internet address blocks currently routed through AT&T — as seen in public records maintained by the Internet backbone provider Hurricane Electric — shows a preponderance of country flags other than the United States, including networks originating in Hungary, Lithuania, Moldova, Mauritius, Palestine, Seychelles, Slovenia, and Ukraine.

Asked about the apparent high incidence of proxy services routing foreign address blocks through AT&T, the telecommunications giant said it recently changed its policy about originating routes for network blocks that are not owned and managed by AT&T. That new policy, spelled out in a February 2025 update to AT&T’s terms of service, gives those customers until Sept. 1, 2025 to originate their own IP space from their own autonomous system number (ASN), a unique number assigned to each ISP (AT&T’s is AS7018).

'Regardless of whether or not Trump actively threatens Europe with disconnection, what troubles Hubert is “the mere thought that you have to be careful… that ‘I should not antagonise the US.’” The problem, he says, is that a government’s functions are not entirely under its own control. In other words, Europe is a digital colony of the US, and is now waking up to the consequences of that fact.'

To be completely honest, I don't know to what extent adblockers prevent the transmission of identifiable data. For me, this has been happening at the network level for years.

I think that the use of adblockers will eventually no longer be effective enough.

Edit: Removed an incorrect hashtag (ProtectYourInfo)

@kim_harding Imagine the day when advertisers use AI for tailor-made commercials to each individual internet user. I don’t think that future is that far away.
