I digitally sterilised by great aunt's tablet. Removed YouTube. Removed Google's slop news feed. Switched her browser to brave (no ads) and search engine to duckduckgo. Put on more sensible news outlets like the BBC and ITV.

Now she's complaining that it's "just not as good as it used to be".

My great aunt is going into slop withdrawal.
