Now I understand why I didn’t care closing my Facebook account years ago: it was for cross posting this sort of information.

Even if my Facebook feed is a sad desert, I hope I can be censored by the guy who rejects fact checkers

The eu doesn’t it to block the search engine from the internet. It only needs to block the google cash-flow from inside EU to Ireland and then it’s shareholders.

There is a french tech sector: Doctolib, BlaBlaCar, and a few other original ideas have opened new types of services and taken their hold over Europe. Yet, those services cannot be adapted to individualistic north America.

I don’t have a mobile phone. How is that supposed to work? Will owning a specific object and attached subscription to a private entity be mandated by law?

Which group in France is against? I consider making this issue a top priority for choosing who I vote for.

Usually, an impact study is made before such type of laws are made:

• if this law is enacted, how much will it cost to the manufacturers to update their factory settings?
• how will this be impacted on the device cost in the UK compared to other markets?
• how many users will get stuck when losing the unique ID of the device, what are the recovery procedures, how costly is it to end users?
• how many users will be protected by the measure and what cost for society does it represent?
• how many users will set a dumb password anyhow and what is the cost for society?

I’d be curious to see the impact study, as many of those are actually botched.

This was a few years before the explosion of the internet…
