having thought about this for three days, my current status is:
what the FUCK are we doing trying to ban social media for kids and not banning AI use? we are literally telling them not to use the computer to talk to their real friends but instead to the imaginary technology monetisable 'friends'.

this makes me suspect that one of the routes that AI companies are aiming at is targeting young people. anything that existed when you were a kid feels normal and indispensable. especially if you always used AI to write all your essays for you. and to comfort you when your parents were arguing.

Of course that’s your contention. You’re a first year Fediverse power-user. You just got finished reading about how Bluesky isn’t decentralized — Christine’s blog post probably — and you’re convinced that AT Protocol is a flash in the pan while ActivityPub is the real hope for the web’s future.

Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking Exploitation in 2025 - Include Security Research Blog
Include Security's latest blog post covers Cross-Site WebSocket Hijacking and how modern browser security features do (or don't) protect users. We discuss Total Cookie Protection in Firefox, Private Network Access in Chrome, and review the SameSite attribute's role in CSWH attacks. The post includes a few brief case studies based on situations encountered during real world testing, in addition to a simple test site that can be hosted by readers to explore each of the vulnerability conditions.
