The reddit-tier answers here are downright scary. Have you considered not using a service if you dislike it so much? You don't have to drag the rest of us with you.
I don't use it. But that doesn't mean that I'm not affected by the harm it causes, and the hatred and misinformation that it spreads among people.
I believe that the overall impact that Twitter has is a negative one, so if they withdraw from Europe then (to me), that would be a positive thing and something to celebrate.
You could say that of every social network that allows people to post whatever they desire. Of course I know there are many people who would rather see us go back to when only an approved set of people were given a microphone. There will always be authoritarians.
I'm not calling for Twitter should be banned, I'm saying that if it chooses to block access to European user then I think that's a good thing, especially if the reason that they're doing that is their refusal to follow EU law. In exactly the same way that I wouldn't shed any tears if Stormfront decided to block access to Europe.
I came from the other thread to see if there were any quality comments here and there's two users who even went to the "lengths" of crossposting their low effort comments from the other thread to this one. Very much feels like Reddit.
> 2) In advertisements, Google shouldn't allow the advertiser to modify the domain that is displayed. Really, why do they even do this?
Because advertisers usually want to send links to a tracker site of their own first so that they can verify if their numbers match up with what Google reports.
No one trusts anyone in the advertising space, and for good reasons. Advertising has always been a space filled to the brim with crooks and fraudsters.

If I ever work at a cubicle, I will hang this sentence on a large frame over my desk, then stay silent and stare every time someone comes and complains about my ad blockers.
For one thing, Google search ads should not show users a domain different from the domain Google redirects directly to. If a website wants to track clicks, the URL they ask Google to send users to should not live on a different domain than the domain the user sees before clicking. Anything else invites impersonation like this, and makes Google complicit in undetectable phishing.
Yeah, it's really bad that Google don't actually show the proper characters in the URL. It's hard to spot - but at least if they displayed the actual URL then you'd have a chance.
It's almost comedic: domestic spy wearing Five-Eyes badge warns us we're being spied on!
>"Authoritarian states are laser-focused on the opportunities that these technologies represent."
They're trying to say this a reason China is bad, that sentence definitely applies to the UK at the moment.
The NPSA.gov.uk "Secure Innovation" advice amounts to very little; "make sure your systems are secure". That's about all you get.
From the detail it sounds like the Chinese "attack" could be 2 companies emailing 20,000 people asking if they want to work in AI with them ... it might be much worse, but based on the details given there's little substantiated.
Presumably the next step will be 'we need access to all businesses computer systems to check they're secure from spying'?
I mean, if we're going there, there is this comical yet informative and strangely relevant Brooklyn Nine-Nine (thanks djbusby, for the correction) scene:
Jake (Andy Samberg) and Charles (Joe Lo Truglio) form an unlikely alliance with Jack Danger (Ed Helms), a nerdy lead investigator at the United States Postal Inspection Service, as they embark on a mission to crack the case to bring down a drug dealer.
I think it doesn't appear at all if you have enhanced tracking protection turned on.
And the normal game shows up in the iframe if you have looked at the real game before, and have data in your localStorage. I assume to not arouse suspicion from people ripping off the game.
I disabled tracking protection, and deleted localstorage on the real site. Then it showed up.
That's not entirely correct, because there are people who download the DRM'd files from internet platforms and distribute the "clean" files through p2p networks. You can then keep the file forever.
