What law? In what country?

There is no fentanyl dispute. Just an unfounded accusation from one side. Just like there was no shouting match in the whitehouse, only one sided shouting. Sick of “journalism”

There should be some serious insider trading investigations with these daily u-turns on tariffs. Won’t happen, but it should.

Orban/Putin/Lavrov/Trump/Musk says…nothing I want to read

The correct response to that is: fuck off

I’m guessing Japan would also want to avoid that.

Not really. There is no age requirement for having an apple phone in the UK, and having ios verify my age does not help with identity stealing websites. So Apple aren’t doing this to comply with current law. And at least one government department advised their staff to ignore it.

Back in my days they had no ad tier, and their prices were reasonable.

Good. Wish UK would do the same

Yeah, good luck to them, but are we doing press releases as technology news now?

Which is what these EU laws usually do. This one is up to 6% of world wide revenue. Actually collecting those fines is another story though.

Maybe it’s also the type of people that buy shit off Temu. Strict safety laws don’t protect stupid people from doing stupid things.

I struggle with the logic here. NATO or Europe won’t be involved or distracted if China invades Taiwan. And I doubt Putin is daft enough to start an all out war with Europe. It might be a distraction for the US, but we don’t need the US to wipe the floor with Russia

I have blocked hundreds of communities to sanitise my ‘all’ feed, and a few foreign language instances. But only a handful of obnoxious users. The users I’m inclined to block often end up banned anyway
