News and information from Europe 馃嚜馃嚭

(Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

Rules (2024-08-30)

  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism.
  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in [email protected]. (They're cool, you should subscribe there too!)
  8. Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)

(This list may get expanded when necessary.)

We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the mods: @[email protected], @[email protected], or @[email protected].

Podr谩n usar tres veces la misma credencial dentro de la misma plataforma. | They may use the same credentials 3 times within the same platform

Uh, is that supposed to be 3 times per month? Like, you can only visit sadpanda 3 times a month or something?

Tambi茅n se contempla una modificaci贸n de la Ley General de Telecomunicaciones para que la Comisi贸n Nacional del Mercado de la Competencia (CNMC) pueda bloquear de aquellas plataformas o p谩ginas con contenidos pornogr谩ficos si no incorporan mecanismos de verificaci贸n de la edad efectivos. Para tal fin, el Gobierno est谩 en conversaciones con proveedores de internet como Movistar o Vodafone con el fin de que permitan bloquear estas p谩ginas. | It's also being contemplated a modification to the General Telecommunications Law so that the National Market Competency Comission may block those platforms or pages with pornographic contents if they don't incorporate effective age verification mechanisms. For this, the Government is in talks with internet providers such as Movistar and Vodafone, so they may block these pages

Good luck blocking whatever "kids" with intent end up finding on a DDG with Safesearch: Off.

For now, it only applies for sites hosted in Spain, but they want to have it apply to anything based off Ireland (IT tax haven)

La herramienta se ha incorporado dentro de "la cartera digital espa帽ola" (...) incluye una credencial que "es an贸nima" y "respeta el principio de protecci贸n de datos de minimizaci贸n de la informaci贸n intercambiada". | The tool has been incorporated inside the "digital spanish identity card" (...) it includes a credential that "is anonymous" and "respects the principles of data protection of minimization of interchanged information"

Oh nice, just what people need/want, the fucking government spying on your porn searches.

Regarding the 30 accesses/tokens pack, it's supposed to be something you can just input on a porn site and access it without being asked for an age verification. And yeah, you only get to use/access one site 3 times per pack, no reason was given.

It's good that the article also has a talk with a cybersecurity guy, who plainly points out that the govt isn't trustworthy for keeping the data secret/anonymous, and that the whole idea "is horrible [and what you expect] from the worst dictatorships"

Para entender el enorme riesgo tan solo basta con imaginar por un momento una filtraci贸n de datos de los solicitantes del carnet, o una futura instrumentalizaci贸n pol铆tica del sistema con el fin de restringir el acceso a la informaci贸n del color que no guste al gobierno de turno | To understand the huge risk, just imagine for a moment a filtering of the data of the people who ask for the card, or a future political handling of the system with the intent of restricting access to the information that the government at the time dislikes

I don't use this term often, but which smoothbrain thought of this? 30 tokens per month (so, 30 individual visits per month, never mind if you can't find what you're looking for on that particular site or just plain want to see it more often), and then only 3 visits per site. I'm sorry, what? Did someone in that panel own a bunch of unknown porn sites or something?

They don't want to block site from Spain+ireland. They want to block sites from Spain. Later on they also want social media to also enforce this ban.

Ireland is only mentioned because it's the preferred tax haven for tech companies in Europe. They're not targeting Ireland in particular.
