I keep getting this email occadionally:

Your iCloud storage is almost full

Now for various reasons, I don’t want my children to be using iCloud to store data, files, photos or any of the sort. They’re free to use iMessages, and other Apple services like the App Store, etc, but not storage.

So I’ve set about blocking iCloud Storage API(s) via AdGuard Home tonight as well as ensuring that my local network (client users) cannot bypass DNS policies and get out other sneaky ways, because some applications will just use other DNS servers, or DOH or DOT.

“Later in the evening, posting on X, #Macron said: “I’m banning #socialmedia for #children under 15. Platforms have the ability to verify age. Let’s do it.”

French authorities are already progressing with efforts to force certain social media sites — including X, Reddit, Bluesky and #Mastodon — to introduce age verification, by classifying them as pornographic websites.

French measures forcing porn sites to verify their users’ ages came into effect on June 7, prompting the world’s largest porn website, Pornhub, to stop operating in France. Demand for virtual private network services, which allow users to trick websites into thinking they are in a different location, immediately surged.”
