@aral If you need some support/reports by us don't hesitate ... at least comments under the video ?

In June, #enshittification to come for #Chrome (and its derivatives) : #Google's #ManifestV3 will take effect.

- #AdBlockers will be limited to 30,000 rules … no more

- They will no longer be able to update themselves daily, but only when new versions of extensions are published (which Google sometimes takes up to 3 weeks to validate)

To sum up, #AdBlocking extensions will always be late on websites, and in any case will not have enough rules to cover all sites.

« #AaronSwartz planned to publish millions of scientific articles, financed by public money and on which the authors received nothing. Prosecuted before he had published anything, he risked 35 years in prison. Facing this prospect, he committed suicide on 11 January 2013. 11 years ago.

In 2024, #OpenAI will apply its algorithms to any document, online or offline, without the consent of the authors. No one is likely to be prosecuted.
