The Old Git Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 The waitress in the next bar brought me down to earth. The look she gave me when I asked if she wanted ID 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Mexico Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 It's the sort of nonsense that happens all the time. Here's Amazon refusing to deliver alcohol to someone who didn't have the required photo ID to prove their age. He was 88. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Jailbait' and spyware is used by law enforcement on the internet all the time. I wonder how many unwary browsers accidentally click on something or find themselves tracked. That your defence? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 Funny, but I'm making a serious point. The online world is no longer at the same remove from everyday life as it was twenty years ago. Now it is the everyday world, 24 hours a day, where we work, relax, communicate and get our information, and where we are all just one click away from potential dangers. The internet and social media has become the Wild West, and adequate protections for innocent users from predators, scammers, trackers, or the State are just not there.

To me the online world seems much more corporate and sanitised than it was 20 and more years ago. I like that. Where as the world 20 and more years ago seemed much more scary to me than it does today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I would struggle to think of ways in which the state poses a threat online. Assuming you mean our state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
