    Pornhub prepared to block Florida if child safety law takes effect

    If your mortgage providers website can be hacked, and all personal information (like the Mr. Cooper hack [LINK]) can be exfiltrated from their servers, there's a non-zero percent chance that will also happen to the porn hosting sites that are requiring all of the governmental IDs, and really...

    Meta must pay $175M for patent-infringing livestreaming tech, judge says

    Sounds like they actually had real life software and weren't acting like a patent troll. Also, the fact that facebook brought them in and kicked the tires, then booted them and made something very similar raises some red flags of bad acting.
