Well, now he did.

Ooooh, that brings back memories! Don't forget the iPad can be used for scales exploit. That was also hilarious.

Wait, the Dear Leader's member is RJ45-sized? Wow, that's even more pathetic than I had anticipated.

Yes. Because this is not about verifying your age; that's just the pretext. This is about identifying you and remotely being able to lock you out of the devices you longer own and control.

But then again, if you use YouTube and Steam, you're not in control or own anything, so...

Wem das (spätestens) seit Snowden nicht klar war, der hat einfach gepennt oder sich selbst belogen. Deshalb hätten wir ja spätestens 2014 mit dem beginnen sollen, was jetzt (ebenfalls viel zu behäbig) beginnt: Die Abnabelung von jeglicher amerikanischer Technik. Die Argumente (Missbrauchspotenzial, Souveränität, Förderung heimischer Unternehmen) haben sich bis heute geändert. Aber nein, war ja immer zu teuer im Aufbau, und die Amis waren ja die_Guten(TM). Die würden sowas nie machen.

Jetzt sind die Abhängigkeiten noch tiefer, die Kosten daher dreimal so hoch, und die Amis befinden sich im Speedrun in die faschistische Diktatur. Tja.

As should have become abundantly clear by now: no laws apply, at least not when they're in the way of the fascists or their billionaire enablers.

Nee nee! Sobald "Sich-schnellstmöglich-unbeliebt-Machen" olympisch wird, ist das einer unserer größten Hoffnungsträger!

Tbh, I very much doubt that the bottom lines of, say, Dassault, BMW, Metro, or UBS would even budge if Twitter were to self-ignite over night, and their Twitter accounts with it. They're (still) on this dumpster fire of a platform because "everybody is" and some bellend in marketing thinks it impossible not to do what all the others are doing. I'd argue no consumer cares what the Twitter account of Tesco's has or hasn't been posting this week, and it has zero effect on their purchasing decisions there.

"Self-employed creators", aka influencers, aka people shilling products while pretending to be your friend, might be affected more because they lack any non-virtual connection to their "customers" But then again, we could ask ourselves if these provide any real-world value and should exist in the first place.

If Europe banned X tomorrow, a lot of people and companies would take a non-negligible hit to their revenue.

Care to back up that claim? What exactly is Twitter's contribution to their bottom line that they cannot live without?

About a rival they might describe him as the most famous pederast of the land.

We've advanced so much since then! We've put a pedophile in power, yet allow him to bury the evidence so nobody calls him that.

Tsk tsk. Stick to the official name, please. It's "Operation Epstein Fury".

I can throw $100 billion at a problem and still have a half-assed strategy, causing the money to burn up in the process. (I'd really love try this out, btw. I'm just $100 billion short.)
