There should be a single checkbox (when setting up the phone), and "configure" button hidden deep in the settings for the minority. Most people do not like complicated UIs and unnecessary work.

No, you are handling the boring work to someone else. Most non-geek people, I assume, are not interesting in manually configuring the website white lists, so there should be a single "child mode" checkbox for 99% of population and

The header must confirm that site is age-appropriate. No header should be interpreted as "adults only". This is the safest option, and it doesn't require 99% of webmasters to do anything which is in my opinion better than any

In my opinion, Google makes the UI too complicated and geeky which means parents are less likely to use it. Furthermore, they apply partial solution instead of complete architecture. In the article, the app must actively ask for age which m

In the article you refer to, I see no mention of asking user's permission. However, I remember, when using an old version of Android, there indeed was a popup nagging me to allow sharing location data with Google every time I enabled G

In some areas GPS is spoofed and the displayed location is wrong. If, for example, a "smart" car gets a task from its manufacturer to film some secret object, it would fail if it relied only on GPS and did not use cell towers and

Should Google ask permission from the device owner, and from the local government before collecting the data? I heard a certain foreign mobile app was banned in US for doing less than that.

I do not see problems with fake ad clicks and have no sympathy for ad companies. Also pre-installed adware is not a surprise, I found adware in the official firmware image of a certain Chinese tablet. What worries me much more is backdoors

With in-person voting you can see the voters and see that they are real people. With electronic voting, all you see is records in a blockchain, how can you be sure that they are cast by humans and not an AI-powered script? Or how can you be

Jinja probably was not initially made with sandboxing in mind, and stuffing it after is complicated, so I would not rely on it.

I also wanted to limit access to files/directories inside /proc/PID, or provide fake data. The /proc/PID also contains too many data. Also, I might want to provide some fake data, for example, if app relies on readi

The /proc contains too many unnecessary information, which can be used for fingerprinting or helping an attack. Run `ls /proc` and find yourself surprised. For example, why do applications need to know the kernel command line? Wha

How do you write SELinux policies to allow reading only certain files in /proc, where process IDs are not known ahead? I ended up writing my own FUSE-based /proc emulation. The facilities are there, but it feels like writing your
