Bad links and T-Mobile’s 5G internet | Q&A with Patrick Marshall

Q: During some text message exchanges on a subject of mutual interest,
my son forwarded to me a video clip with the URL address Youtu.be.
As a regular reader of your column in The Seattle Times, this slightly
different address construction raised a red flag. I did not open it
fearing it could contain malware or spyware. I raised that issue with
him and he said he took it straight off the YouTube website using the
YouTube App on his iPad.

Subject: Google will pay $9.5 million to settle Washington DC AG’s
location-tracking lawsuit
The company has agreed to make it easier for users to opt out of
location tracking as part of the settlement.
Google has agreed to pay $9.5 million to settle a lawsuit brought by
Washington DC Attorney General Karl Racine, who accused the company
earlier this year of “deceiving users and invading their privacy.”
Google has also agreed to change some of its practices, primarily
concerning how it informs users about collecting, storing and using
their location data.
“Google leads consumers to believe that consumers are in control of
whether Google collects and retains information about their location
and how that information is used,” the complaint, which Racine filed
in January, read. “In reality, consumers who use Google products
cannot prevent Google from collecting, storing and profiting from
their location.”

Which provider does use IPv6 ULA addresses? That isn’t a good idea.
I know that Deutsche Telekom uses an SPI firewall (to get more money
for business plans without), but gives customers routable IPv6
addresses. IPv4 is from 10.0.0.0/8.

I am not in the US, so I can’t test it. I just heard some rumors and
I asked here.
