As a German I fear the only way I can see one of our government agencies to react upon an external pentesting report is if you threatened to release data from it, anyway (this is not a recommendation, please don't raid my home). I just do not see them fixing even a dangerous bug if a stranger came along and told them to.

What is a BRG?

There are browser extensions, like uBlacklist, that can permanently remove sites from results.

I think you can import filter lists similar to how it works with uBlock Origin and import some AI websites list.

There are some fish decorated with swastikas floating around

IMO it would be much better to redact names instead of deleting the entire stories. Newspapers in other countries like Germany never write the full names, anyway.

The same sources Wikipedia gets its information from. You can not even contribute to Wikipedia without providing outside sources, I think, which are usually websites or books

That Dailydot article is from November 14 2024 and says those were fake accounts.

But apparently she really did create an account, yesterday, and says to have been immediately banned, without posting anything: https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1873542021715243076

As long as no police has confiscated (in most countries this involves the police man touching it, I bet) the equipment you can break it or make it inaccessibility however you like. It's your stuff, after all.

Just had a look: 25 of EU countries use ".", and 2 (Malta and Ireland) use ","

You do not need to, you can also click 'do not consent'

gives me infinite captcha

> To actually get the full view of these topics that should be in the article, you instead have to refer to the dozens-of-pages-long Talk pages to see all the non-corporate-media viewpoints being squashed and silenced.

This is exactly what I do. When I visit articles about politically discussed topics I often read the Talk pages. I usually find important and (regularly) well-sourced information on there that, for some reason, do not make it into the article.

I can not wait to read Google's reasoning why they suddenly have to remove the Do Not Track feature from Google Chrome.

> Repeated requests for prepayment; anger or aggression when the request is denied.

Why would they ask for prepayment?

Likes are illegal, too. Last year, police searched the homes of people because they clicked the like button on a social media post that insulted a killed police woman. [1] The court deemed the likes as endorsements of a crime, which is illegal. [2]

> The problem with terrorism is that it’s very easy for everyone to be categorized as a terrorist(notice how much more terrorists there is than terror attacks), and this needs very very wide access and total control over the public.

I just read of a case where, in Germany, a student was convicted of 'defaming the state' for calling Germany a "Drecksstaat" (dirty state) on his tiny Twitter account. Police classified that as terrorism (because it is a political offense/crime against the state).

If the bar for getting convicted is set that low it is probably already true that the vast majority of us Germans are terrorists for something they said in the past 5 years.

Of course not, but that's not what this is about. It's an answer to your comment, because you wrote "It's because the Russian people support what Putin is doing.". But if that was true, wouldn't the US would have been boycotted, as well? But it didn't happen

In polls, most American people supported the Iraq war

That's not always the case. Sometimes it asked me for a phone number, but most of the time not when not using a VPN or something similar. But last year I managed to create two Twitter accounts with the Tor browser and some sketchy email address and never got asked for a number, just had to do some captcha after a few minutes.

In Germany, the term "Engineer" is protected by law. You need an Informatics (or some other engineery field) university degree to call yourself one. There are many IT professionals that do not have one, but have one of the state-approved 3-year apprenticeships instead, and can not call themselves engineers.
