Old Vidme embeds turn into porn after domain purchase
We can't and shouldn't expect people to keep their old domains forever. We need a way for pages to be signed and hyperlinks to enforce authorship. When we link to stuff, we should have a way to say whose stuff we're linking to. It's no different from installing signed software and using trusted repositories.This is one of the reasons I created a proof-of-concept web extension that verifies links and pages using PGP. On a mismatch, it flags the page and offers a web archive link instead.https://webverify.jahed.dev/It was pretty fun to make, but currently due to performance, Web Extensions API doesn't provide the features to do this perfectly. Firefox provides just about enough additional APIs to hack it together.
