@Em0nM4stodon ... you to turn off your VPN and try again.
Sweden is one of the countries that has a semi-government digital id (known as BankID). Initially it was just used for government and bank interactions but it has slowly seeped into basically everything. The other day I just wanted to check what homework was due for my kid (which shouldn't even require a log in since it isn't sensitive). When identifying, with said e-id, I was told to turn off my VPN and try again...
It geo-tracks too.
@Em0nM4stodon It's so depressing. Since when does mass surveillance make citizens safe? Whatever this initial bill contains, I am confident that it will get ramped up once it is in place. I also don't trust any of the companies that are guaranteed to win the contracts. How will we protect our children's future as democratic citizens?
@cyberlyra Checked out 'Multi-Account Containers' extension for Firefox. Technically off topic so obviously no gold star... but maybe a lower value sticker? Joke aside, it is good stuff. But haven't really figured out my strategy. Initially I just wanted to contain what little remains of google... but now I'm thinking that maybe I should have interest related containers instead say, a "Travel container" with the e-mail I use for that and airlines etc. Guess I can use both strategies.
