Happy 25th birthday, Deus Ex!
It was either yesterday or today, and I’m feeling almost nostalgic enough to boot up the original game and sneak around the Statue of Liberty while enjoying one of PC gaming’s all-time great soundtracks.

It’s 1PM. Do you know where your children are scrolling?
Maybe, argues longtime internet law scholar Danielle Citron, sometimes you shouldn’t. We’ve got a slow holiday Thursday here at The Verge, so it’s time for me to finally read this paper from early June about alternatives to the “parental control model” of children’s privacy online — a topic that’s not going away any time soon.
The parental control model is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. It is an empowering façade that leaves parents unable to protect children and undermines the intimate privacy that youth need to thrive. It is bad for parents, children, and parent-child relationships. And it is bad for the pursuit of equality.
