[HN] Will Browsers Be Required by Law to Stop You from Visiting Infringing Sites?

Jump

  • No, I thought "Cheese Pizza" ist just an acronym for inappropriate pictures and videos of children. Tell me if I'm mistaken (English is not my first language).

    • Require a password when viewing browser's saved passwords

  • You can configure sudo so that it doesn't require you to enter a password. However I would strongly discourage this, since it also allows any script or program to execute root commands without your approval.

  • The most stupid part of this idea is that is requires a list of banned sites to be served to every user.

    Even if they would use hashing to obfuscate the banned domains, you can download a list of all registered domains and just test every one of them.

    So the average internet user will lose freedom while a cheese pizza enjoyer with some computer knowledge will gain a list of every banned CP site.
