I don't think it's the same source code (uBOL vs uBO). And it's definitely not the same logic, that's the whole point, blocking with MV3 must be done in a declarative way.

They do kill uBlock Origin. The Lite version is a different extension.

Yes but that's not the same. Because of Chrome limitation it can't update it's blocklist directly. You have to update the whole extension to update the blocklist and that goes through Google validation in the Chrome store. It adds delay and Google could even refuse some updates. The blocklist is also shorter because not all filter rules are supported.

How does it compare to tridactyl?

You are right that there are underlying causes that needs to be addressed. That's why it spread so much and so fast. But that doesn't make racially motivated fake news OK.

But this seems easy to automatically block, no? If a client is querying an unknown domain check for some Matrix related data in /.well-known/ and add it to the block list if there is. And since the servers are publicly advertising the port used you just need to periodically check the list of known matrix domains you are creating in the first step.

Russia is already doing DPI and blocking ESNI so that seems easy. A more widespread usage of ECH would help everyone, as is Signal advocating, but that's not the case yet.

But no one is saying that a single tweet started all this.

But what's the link with the arrested woman?

I did not know about Rotherham, what's the link between the two?

She has not been jailed and we don't know what she posted.

Obviously there is no ground to ban every news but I agree something should be done about politicians and media spurring hate.

A fake news meant to stir up racial hatred.

That's not fair, I want to downvote you now.

Why should testing be done over some allegation by an organization that's not recognized by the IOC?

So she has been arrested, not jailed. We don't know much about this specific case yet but this has nothing to do with a rant, like you said.

Can you give an exemple of such case in the recent events in the UK?

Yes, to create an account, but not to contact someone. You have an habit of being off the mark.

Also there is a difference between giving your phone number to some service and giving it to some random on the internet.

You don't need the phone number to contact someone with Signal.

Metadata is data. While we can be pretty sure that message contents are secure we have to rely on trust for the metadata.

I use Signal and trust it way more than most other apps but still, one have to be careful, a state actor could still find ways.

Are people really jailed for rants in the UK? I've only seen stories of actual call to violence.

The Russian government has also allegedly begun preparations to block the WhatsApp messaging app.
