Fix your #Firefox with "Disable #IndexedDB"

source: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-indexeddb/

This plugin disables IndexedDB, with the goal of enhancing #privacy by making your #browser a little harder to uniquely fingerprint. Please be warned, websites that depend on IndexedDB might not work when this plugin is enabled. You can always click the icon to disable/enable the plugin. Green means IndexedDB is disabled, and red means it's available for websites to use. By default, this plugin will enable itself every time Firefox boots up. If you'd like the disabled status to persist across reboots, there's an option allowing that in the plugin preferences screen. That about covers it all. Hope you enjoy the plugin.

#Twitter takes down 300,000 #terror accounts as #AI tools improve

The company further emphasizes it killed a majority of the pro-terrorism accounts set up on its platform before they could post anything: “Notably, 75% of these accounts were suspended before posting their first Tweet,” it writes.

How can they kill an account before the first tweet?

First I thought they identify the terrorists, on whom they follow. But if they know, that this account is following terrorist, why didn't they kill these accounts first? I think it is impossible to kill an account before the first post. This is pure censorship from a global company, which wants too show, how cool they can handle assumed terrorism. You know nothing Twitter :( #Criticism is not terrorism.

I wish we could address this #problem with #education. If people could identify #fake, #hate and terror, Twitter wouldn't have to take it down.

The @gnome Foundation today has officially provided their endorsement and support of Purism’s efforts to build the privacy-focused and first truly GNU+Linux Librem 5 smartphone. Just week after KDE's own announcement.

The campaign is still on having passed the milestone of over $500k, but far from the goal of $1.5m, and lets remember that this is an all-or-nothing deal.

Here's the link to the campaing: https://puri.sm/shop/librem-5/
