"Meanwhile, the AI strategy itself threatens to create more barriers to AI adoption. The strategy is expected to include mandated age verification for using both social media and AI chatbots, with a plan to establish new restrictions on the use of these services for those under the age of 16. But limiting AI access to adults will require everyone to certify their age, typically through foreign third-party services that introduce new privacy risks to sensitive personal information.

You can’t proclaim AI leadership while eschewing rules that address safety issues for all users by instead relying on age-gating services with requirements that will affect tens of millions of Canadians. Yet that is what the federal government is proposing to do with promises of “AI for all” that may actually become “ID for all”.

None of this is hypothetical, either, because Ottawa has been here before. When it passed the Online News Act, it brushed aside warnings that Meta would block news rather than pay for news links. And when Meta followed through on its threats – a blockade that is in place to this day – Canadians simply lost access to the links (and credible information) that the law was trying to protect. The lesson the government keeps ignoring is that when the rules become impossible or unpalatable to follow, companies are prepared to leave."

🚨 Upgrade or be hacked. 🚨

There is a "hacker" group (script kiddies) targeting Mastodon sites that are not yet running Mastodon 4.5.10.

Version 4.5.10 fixes several security vulnerabilities that are relatively easy to exploit and were discovered in earlier versions of Mastodon.

If you're not running 4.5.10 (or newer), you are at risk. ⚠️

If you're using a nightly build of Mastodon, make sure you're running one that was released after the release date of 4.5.10. And yes, I said release date, not version number — earlier 4.6 nightly builds do not include the security patch. ⚠️

If you're delaying the update because you're running a modified version of Mastodon, consider whether maintaining those modifications is worth the security risk. ⚠️

Critical Samba Printing Vulnerability Enables Remote Code Execution

Samba patched a critical remote code execution vulnerability (CVE-2026-4480) in its printing subsystem caused by improper sanitization of the %J substitution parameter. The flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to run arbitrary shell commands by submitting crafted print job descriptions.

**If you run Samba file/print servers, immediately upgrade to versions 4.22.10, 4.23.8, or 4.24.3 to patch CVE-2026-4480, or as a quick fix remove the %J parameter from the "print command" line in your smb.conf file. Also disable guest access to printing and make sure your Samba servers are only reachable from trusted internal networks, never directly from the internet.**
