Anyone interested in doing this should check out mitmproxy which is very handy for proxying/altering HTTPS streams

cm0002@lemmy.world 1 year agoHeh, I’ll do ya one better, I already replied with this to someone else in the thread, but I’m currently thinking about rerouting their Internet through my network via VPN and pinning my own HTTPS cert to their devices so I can alter Faux News “articles” on the fly with a ChatGPT integration maybe. Wouldn’t be able to alter videos, but might be able to slow them down to dialup speeds so they just get frustrated with it and just lean more on the written stuff

True, because they can still access it, but it’s garbled and/or confusing. Interesting idea.

You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make them drink it. In my experience, most average people just don’t like reading.

True, but I know them very well so my approach is tailored to them, they generally do read “articles” but will get distracted by those stupid auto-play videos and will start watching a couple of those. If they couldn’t for whatever reason I know they’ll just go back to whatever article they were reading

If you figure out how to do this, I would love a how-to.
