The Police specifically have the powers and equipment to bring down drones, they they are causing a safety issue (usually around airports)

They like to claim their air defence worked perfectly, but the shoddy Ukrainian (or NATO) drones, fell apart and rained debris down on the target ....it's better PR than admitting the Air defence systems didn't work, were elsewhere, or they were incompetent

It means you will will employ vibe coders to prompt and process AI generated filler .... then employ programmers to get it to actually work

Usually this involves throwing away most of the AI generated code, so you employ more people to do the same work, and pay for AI

The real issues are with Kik and the other social media platforms they run, Imgur is incidental, as the ICO's issues are with accounts, and most people use it without an account

the have several Social Media sites that have little or no checks, and allow chatting and sharing of media .. that's the real focus of the ICO

Guess what the EU are introducing in 2026

The ICO is investigating the parent company, MediaLab mostly for their other enterprises - and for lack of age checks for people who have an account on Imgur

MediaLab have shut down access to Imgur in the UK - which the ICO have noted is irrelevant

You do realise some US states are well ahead on the UK on this

..and is unlikely to be, it's raised as the only way over and over, but then you find out they exclude gaming, drawing, video editing, and most other tasks that don't involve text input - in fact it's only for text input
and then people try it, and it's terrible at it, slow, inaccurate, and you spend huge amounts of time correcting it's mistakes

Or debug it, or get it to do more - he would have to start from scratch each and every time

Documentation - would be non-existent

It is likely as part of the negotiations that Trump will cave in and they will introduce a similar tax - but this will spun as a triumph for Trump ...

As always any government that thinks this is in any way enforceable is deluded ...and it will likely exclude people from social media

..and will be for years

In the rest of the world what is replacing manual cars are EV's not Automatics

The cost to individuals in Tax and direct payments of healthcare in the USA is more than twice as much as in most European countries
For this extra you get worse outcomes, or little to no actual healthcare at all
the average US citizen pays more for Medicare and Medicaid that a European citizen does for universal healthcare, and cannot use either
  then pays nearly the same again for Health Insurance, co-payments, etc to get actual healthcare

In Quebec 95%+ speak French because if you don't you are excluded from society, business, everything
Because everything is conducted only in French

In Wales you are taught Welsh at School, everything defaults to Welsh, some Schools teach only in Welsh etc. but you can easily get by without speaking Welsh .... and only 17.5 % of the population speak Welsh at all

Did they pay for the actors, and voiceover artist ?
