-
Barry Graubart (@graubart) reported from Manhattan, New York@dancow In the 90s I had an AOL account so I could test our software on their proprietary browser. Couldn’t cancel online. Had to call in (but long wait on hold). Instead, I switched to cheapest (4.95) plan until credit card finally expired.

HelenHighly (@Helen_Highly) reported from Manhattan, New York@doctorwhoviana @crosa1988 But they loved the infomercial I had written (which never aired). They thought I “understood them.” So they hired me to do all sorts of other stuff. They essentially paid for my 1st condo. Those were the days. But then AOL made a tragically wrong turn. Interesting how that goes.

I’m the Big Man, I think (@vodkasnowflake) reported from Manhattan, New YorkI owe it to AOL and SNL for educating me when I was still single digits of age. But TWA’s crash shook the **** out of me because I was visiting Florida like once a year, so I was anxious every time I got back on a plane.

Imagine your block without cars (@Newyorkist) reported from Manhattan, New York@CNN if he doesn't come back what do you think will happen to Amazon? Maybe it will **** the bed like Yahoo or Aol? What do you think?

HelenHighly “somewhat in the business of truth”🐀 (@Helen_Highly) reported from Manhattan, New York@MsHannahMurphy 👆 Whut?! Is this what you were referring to, @dcboyisangry? Or did you just instinctively know not to trust Mvsk with your debit card? Holy moley, I'd rather send my PIN to an exiled prince who asked me for help via AOL.

dominic (@Globalmess65) reported from Manhattan, New York@ReformedBroker sorry sweetie but $ORCL is not the last of the bunch... $CSCSO and $INTC have never made new highs. Neither has $AOL lol
-
David Berkowitz (@dberkowitz) reported from Manhattan, New York@michaelmiraflor @Aerocles @MattJMcD Why is it a problem that they’re asking what web3 is? To me, that’s a great sign that they care. This is so new in any practical sense. The web itself didn’t matter to most without the browser & AOL. Web 2 didn’t matter for most until Facebook. Most people need real applications.

spooky gootz (@raygootz) reported from Manhattan, New York@skinnymysterio WCW cut everyones salaries in half in 92 cause they could. Also AOL wanted wrestling ******** off tnt didnt matter if nitro started destroying raw in ratings. All these corporate pricks are the same.

Tanooki Joe™️ (@TanookiKuribo) reported from Manhattan, New York@NerdOutWithMe @53rdCard I still sign in to check my mail. I could just go to AOL dot com but I like signing in like I’m visiting a place from my childhood. No one is there anymore, I’m the only one.

TheFeralOne (she/her) (@tracey_f) reported from Manhattan, New York@nashmallow People laugh that I still have my OG AOL address but I use it for most things if it's not a Google related, but I NEVER see spam in my inbox, and there are only occasional false catches. And lemme tell ya, that spam folder is full to bursting every day.

Paul Walsh (@Paul__Walsh) reportedPeople keep asking why Apple allowed OpenAI to build a ChatGPT integration for Messages. Do get to the point, I don’t think Apple anticipated a company using the permissions required by ChatGPT specifically to read, analyse and store people’s Messages when the Messages app includes iMessage and not just SMS. The entire point of iMessage is that it’s rich media *and* end to end encrypted. The permissions OpenAI needs exist for legitimate software, and Apple warns people before granting them. Backup software needs Full Disk Access to back up protected files. Security software needs it to inspect files for malicious activity. Disk utilities need it to search, recover and manage protected files. It’s similar to WebView. It gave developers a way to display parts of an app that could change without requiring a new app release and App Store review, such as terms of service, privacy policies and other remotely hosted content. In 2014, I predicted developers would eventually use WebView across every major app, with some apps built almost entirely inside it. I also warned this would create a security problem because WebView had no protection against dangerous links or malicious code typically found on webpages. Developers could make a WebView look identical to the native app, so people wouldn’t know whether they were using the app itself or interacting with a website. Today, in-app security is a multibillion dollar industry because it’s obvious that opening links inside an app might not be as safe as it should be. Most predictions, especially in the context of digital risk, are not believed by a lot of people. But they become obvious eventually. Today, I’m saying OpenAI’s ChatGPT integration with Apple Messages is more dangerous for some people than almost anything else on the market. Of course someone can take screenshots and send them to the FBI, repeat something they were told, or deliberately share a private conversation. That completely misses the point. None of those things is equivalent to giving an AI service automated access to read, analyse and store entire message histories involving everyone someone communicates with. Comparing deliberate human disclosure with automated access at scale ignores the capability that makes this fundamentally different. And why it removes the main benefit of end to end encryption. I can’t comprehend how security professionals can defend anything that undermines the purpose of end to end encryption by saying "but encryption isn’t broken". Protecting messages while they’re being transmitted means very little if an agent can systematically read, analyse and store them before they’re sent or after they’re received. Apple permissions have legitimate purposes. This particular use of them is the problem. During the early 2000s, I advocated for browser extensions. During the mid to late 2000s, before the first iPhone when mobile web didn't exist, I advocated for mobile web instead of WAP. In 2015, I advocated for chatbot integrations across messaging platforms and business tools. I’m a developer advocate, an open standards advocate, child safety advocate, and privacy advocate. I co-founded 2 W3C initiatives, including the Mobile Web Initiative, where I was tasked with rewriting Tim Berners-Lee’s vision of "One Web". And was a significant contributor to 8 technical specifications, including the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0. I care about humanity. I don’t advocate for one thing in isolation from everything else. I’m a technical expert in specific areas with OSINT skills and 30 years across web, telecom, and mobile. 💡 I consider every stakeholder affected by open standards, technology, and legislation. Sometimes convenience justifies a privacy tradeoff. Sometimes privacy should take priority over security, and sometimes security should take priority over privacy. None of these should be treated as an absolute regardless of the consequences. In 2017, the PKI Consortium asked me to advise them privately and write about the impact DV SSL certificates and HTTPS Everywhere were having on anti phishing security. I faced fierce criticism from privacy advocates who argued that the connection should be encrypted even if the person on the other end was an impersonator. Those were their words. If you care, search for "Insecure Elephant in the Room". The fundamental reasons phishing works were the same when I was impersonated in 1996 when phishing was first discovered on the AOL network, the same when I wrote about it in 2017, and the same today. Now I have to argue with some security professionals defending something that undermines the purpose of end to end encryption. They need to look beyond the mechanics of software and encryption. Technology is an enabler. We need to consider human behaviour, how people will actually use a capability, and what happens when that behaviour occurs at scale. Also, the potential intent that goes beyond a website or privacy statement. I’ve faced this repeatedly over the years. Today, when I argue that government policies and age verification introduced in the name of online child safety and preventing child exploitation are actually surveillance measures, child safety advocates accuse me of not caring about children. This isn’t rocket science. Add AI to everything, even if you’re willing to accept the risks to yourself. But please don’t add AI in ways that undermine another person’s right to privacy or, depending on the context, their personal safety. Some people's lives depend on their ability to rely on end to end encryption. We're not talking about SMS. 💡Criticising the technology used to pursue an objective doesn’t mean opposing the objective.

Anil Gupta (@anilk04) reported@barandbench @_arnaC_ Complete waste of time of NGT and SC in such issues. Their shouldn't have been any case in the first place. Yamuna gets polluted, encroached by illegal dumping and construction, but NGT does not do anything. But they become very active on AOL 2 day event on damaging environment!!
