Things Bill C2 does (from the site)

  • Forced Corporate Spying: Companies must keep records of your personal data under secret government orders, with blanket immunity for privacy violations for handing over more than they should.
  • Privacy Protections Removed: The bill allows unrestricted information sharing about migrants across all government levels. Undocumented workers asserting labour rights could face deportation when employers report them to border enforcement.

What are you assuming about my identity, and declaring about your own identity, that makes you uniquely able to speak about affairs in China, while telling others to shut up about it?

(context: From what I see, you joined this thread to praise China's healthcare.)

Why are you bringing up race when somebody is talking about national policy

Are you looking for client-side encrypted storage? If you are willing and able to perform the encryption step on your own, a lot of options are available to you.

If you're just looking for something that's better than Google or MS, it'll probably be even easier to find.

If you don't believe in lesser evil like you just said, and you think China is fascist like you just implied, why say "at least ~~the trains run on time~~ they have healthcare"?

It sounds like the kind of virtue signaling you disapprove of.

I'm glad you thoroughly understand the concept of "the lesser evil"

At the time (up until 18 hours ago), no.

All things considered, though, the tabloid actually did a decent job of reporting on the story and not sensationalizing it.

If the markers on my search engine are telling me the truth, after I posted this Raw Story picked it up 16 hours ago.

TIME picked it up 3 hours ago.

Sorry for the mediocre source, but it looks like it got its facts and translation right.

Any idea if these threats are actionable? He's not a US citizen to just fine or imprison.

 

A Texas federal judge late Wednesday overturned a Biden administration rule designed to keep prosecutors from getting the medical records of patients seeking legal abortions or gender-affirming care by boosting privacy protections for women’s reproductive health information.

Custom Search Engines: Firefox now supports adding even more search engines. To add a custom engine, right-click a search field of a supported website and select “Add Search Engine”, or go to Settings > Search > Add (below the search shortcuts table) to manually enter a search URL.

"Settings > Search > Add" was already available in Firefox for Desktop, but you manually had to travel to about.config to add the missing browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh boolean and set it to true. You've been able to do this for at least 4 years, and it's worked on Android for a while too.

Maybe they finally finished polishing it up.
