Apparently fish aren't animals. :)

From a story point or view it makes sense. Why try to please those not present at Christmas table.

If the table was filled with carrots as guests, do you think the rabbits would be invited? The original wolf would.

I know, I know, it is about bettering yourself.

So anonymity should be impossible?

Anonymity should not be possible if you pay/receive money for it. Anonymity should be possible if it doesn't involve money / contracts with money. See my sibling post on my view.

I came to the comments to express the same sentiment, expecting to be an unpopular opinion. Pleasantly surprised to find your comment at the top.

Hosts should make sure they know who is posting content on their platforms, so that in the event they are sued, they can countersue the creator of the content.

The important part is that there is a difference between

content for money

and

content not for money

The first should make the hoster liable, they have a contract involving money. The second should not automatically make the host liable.

The party which decides to show the advertisment in exchange for payment, should be more responsible for what they are showing than a free user posting content.

Now things become interesting when a users pays for ranking or 'verification' checkmarks. What makes that content different than a paid advertisment?

I think you may underestimate the ability of China to abuse industrial espionage at scale.

You can do the transformation server-side, but it's not trivial to set it up. It would involve detecting the web browser using the "Accept" header (hopefully RSS readers don't accept text/html), then using XSLT to transform the XML to XHTML that is sent to the client instead, and you probably need to cache that for performance reasons. And that's assuming the feed is just a static file, and not dynamically generated.

In theory you could do the transformation client side, but then you'd still need the server to return a different document in the browser, even if it's just a stub for the client-side code, because XML files cannot execute Javascript on their own.

Another option is to install a browser extension but of course the majority of users will never do that, which minimizes the incentive for feed authors to include a stylesheet in the first place.

How about using Javascript to fetch the XML (like you would do with JSON), and then parse/transform it with a Javascript or wasm XSLT library? Just like you would do with JSON.

You need a server to serve Json as well. Basically, see XML as data format.

RSS readers are not chrome, so they have their own libraries for parsing/transforming with XSLT.

For RSS feeds, XSLT stylesheets are used to display a human-readable version in the browser.

Random example: https://lepture.com/en/feed.xml

This is useful because feed URLs look the same as web page URLs, so users are inclined to click on them and open them in a web browser instead of an RSS reader. (Many users these days don't even know what an RSS reader is). The stylesheet allows them to view the feed in the browser, instead of just being shown the XML source code.

Aren't there other ways to load and parse a technical format like RSS to a human-readable format? Like you would do with JSON.

Or can't you polyfill this / use a library to parse this?

Private site. The event site could hold events where cameras are forbidden. There are other examples like spas or swimming pools where cameras are forbidden.

I have added what I think they call login alias to my account. This blocks logins using the normal account username (which is my public email address), and only allows them via the alias (which is not public and just a random string). Not a single foreign login attempt since I enabled the alias.

You can enable it on account.microsoft.com > Account Info > Sign-in preferences > Add email > Add Alias and make it primary. Then click Change Sign-in Preferences, and only enable the alias.

I had to do this as well. My account got spammed daily in such a way I had to verify my account and change my password on every login.

With the alias I no longer have this issue.

I always thought drawing over the content area is a no-no, because then anybody can fake that dialog via html/css and make it do something completely different.
