That assumes hotspot is included in your wireless plan,, and it isn't included in a lot of the cheapest ones.

The German government literally ruled otherwise. You are objectively, legally,, and morally incorrect.

That logic is what will make verification cans a reality.

Do you have Firefox's tracker blocking enabled? That can block some advertising related code and as such will also get detected as an adblocker. I've had that be the issue for other websites that block ad blockers in the past before I stopped being willing to ever turn Ublock Origin off.

That's only really feasible for as long as the corporation has a physical presence in the EU and/or the corporation's home government is willing to enforce the laws of a foreign government upon their own corporations/citizens.

I know Twitter used to have offices In the EU, but I don't know if that's still the case currently. If it's not then without the cooperation of the US government there's not much the EU can do if Musk decides to tell them to pound sand.

I'm not saying I think he's in the right, I just don't see how it's possible for any nation to enforce laws outside of their own borders without the co-operation of other governments, and I don't see how the US government could possibly co-operate to enforce foreign laws that would likely violate the US constitution.

Edit to add: Sure they could always try to enforce dns blocking or some shit on Twitter via mandates on local ISPs, but those are things that can be circumvented without too much difficulty.

Won't be the case for much longer if the EU gets their way, I'm glad to say.

Yeah r/privacy was toxic towards n00bs back on reddit as well. Sorry you got blasted for asking a question.

Ah yes the widespread political message that was "me and the boys out at 3am looking for beans"

How could we possibly have missed those political overtones.

Dude you must be on some extremely powerful drugs if you think all memes are political propaganda.

If you think paraphrasing what you said back to you is an ad hominem, maybe, just maybe, you should reconsider your opinion.

Tbh I'm surprised she hasn't retconned Voldemort to be transgender.

Unless you are religious and believe in eternal torment after death, death isn't cruel, it's simply an end to life, a permanent return to nonexistence no more or less cruel than having never been born.

Additionally, while they aren't exactly wrong in that going from nonexistence to existence results in an infinite increase in potential for suffering, that holds true for joy/happiness/pleasure.

Imo bringing someone into being is not cruel nor wonderful, not moral nor immoral. It simply is.

Antinatalism is a more deranged branch of eugenics. It's not simply "promoting eugenics" it's a belief that giving birth is the greatest evil one can inflict upon a child and the world at large.

That they'd clearly see us as subhuman isn't surprising given that they at best want our entire species to voluntarily go extinct. Their entire worldview is best summed up as gentle genocide is good.
