The most notorious deepfake sexual abuse website is hosting altered videos originally published as part of the GirlsDoPorn operation. Experts say this new low is only the beginning.
I have been on the internet before the world wide web was invented, and I still do not use an ad blocker. Not because I don’t understand why people use them, but because I refuse to subscribe to the world that needs them. Kinda why I am on Lemmy, and why I donate a lot of money to keep it going.
I dunno man, being born before automobiles wouldn’t exempt you from looking both ways before you cross the street when you live in a world where cars are commonplace 🤷♀️
I will reply to this again, out of sheer obstinance. I’m not made of raw stupid. I have had defense in depth employed for 20 years, if someone had managed to penetrate past the outermost moat, then I would be concerned. That hasn’t happened yet. Until then, keep your opinions to yourself. you yahoo
Except that ad blockers also provide protection against malware, phishing and tracking. Having no ad blocker on is like having a one night stand over and over again without ever using a condom. Might work out for years on end, until you finally get infected
Block cookies or use an ad-on that does. Wired has a weak paywall

That’s some folksy wisdom I haven’t heard since the last time a horse neighed at me.
Love your attitude
I love you, Random Internet Stranger!
I don’t wear a seatbelt because I don’t want to live in a world where people need them
imagine being crazy enough to think seatbelt and ad blockers would be a good comparison
yep, let people do what they want with their own safety, progressives are basically creating fascists.
Can’t see that biting you in the ass, down the way.
Me either. Hasn’t yet.

Obviously not, if you’re not using an ad blocker…
Yep, that tracks.

I am raw dogging the internet. Kablooooooooiue
Not sure about all the downvotes. I am finding your curmudgeonly antics pretty entertaining. You keep doing you old friend!
Awwww I don’t mind the downvotes at all my friend. I’m hungry, and I eat them for breakfast. ;)
Your analogies are insane 🤣
I just can’t imagine being riled up and afraid enough any ads that you actually put them in the same category of STD.
Gen z and millennial panic like folks being afraid of D&D.
