To this day, ad blocking filter lists are mostly manually curated by dedicated ad blocking community members. Filter lists authors do an applaudable job at generating filter lists but this process is laborious and does not scale well to a large number of sites or over time.
To address problem, @levanhieu recently proposed AutoFR, a reinforcement learning framework that fully automates the process of filter rule creation!
This week we sit with Hieu to discuss his latest research. Tune in to know more! nothingtohide.online

Recent data protection regulations (GDPR/CCPA) grant users various rights, including the right to access, modify or delete any information collected about them. To exercise these rights, one must submit a verifiable request proving that the collected data indeed pertains to them
This is straightforward for users with active accounts, since they can use standard (e.g., password-based) means of authentication to validate their requests. However, a major conundrum arises from the need to support users without accounts!
@__nyoshi__ addressed this problem in their recent work, called Viceroy (published @NDSSSymposium )! Tune in to know more! nothingtohide.online
