I did that five times before remembering I had an old account on this instance that I could switch to to post the question and see what communities I used to be subscribed to.

Thanks! I’ll bookmark that.

The link I provided explains it. They can decrypt traffic through their own devices.

From the article:

A court in Madrid heard it was assumed the message triggered alarm bells after being picked up via Gatwick’s Wi-Fi network.

Public wifi without a VPN is like sex without a condom. The connection may not be encrypted (very risky) and even if it is, you are still susceptible to man-in-the-middle attacks: https://www.garlandtechnology.com/blog/how-to-monitor-encrypted-traffic-and-keep-your-network-secure

I guarantee there will be a flood of articles about this over the next few days because of what I quoted above.

It’s also possible that one of his “friends” reported him or something like that.

In general I agree, but there’s no privacy on airport Wi-Fi. And very little at an airport in general.

That’s true. But I guess I’m not the only one haha!

Why did they use such an obscene word for this?

Are you searching on the website or in Jerboa?

The search is a bit funny. If you’re on the website and search and if the community hasn’t been indexed by your instance, you won’t get it in the results. But, if you search with the url https://feddit.uk/c/britishproblems even though it doesn’t give results it will go and index the community. A few minutes later it will show up.

I don’t know if that works in Jerboa (android app)

The problem is that these aren’t always trivial pieces of info to figure out
