ANY minor, upon coming of age, should be able to demand the removal of ALL social media posts made about them by ANYONE. That includes posts which they themselves made.
I don't know in which country you live, but here I live, there is the freedom of speech as recorded in an apparently little-known law called
As long as you're not libelous/slanderous/violating secret clearances or gag orders, you can post anything the F you want.
This is illegal in Germany.
The article as about the United States Postal Service.
The last time they delivered anything to Germany was in 1945.
Meanwhile Canada has stopped purchasing US military equipment
I'm sure that they'll enjoy their Russian made gear.
EU is now moving a way from purchasing US military equipment.
They never bought anything to start with. The U.S. is stil the largest, financial contributor to NATO.
In 2024, the U.S. spent $2,239 per capita. Spain $366. Portugal $360. Source.
So who do we sell to now?
Don't worry, they'll come back after finding out that they are not able to build their own.
country who cries "freedom"
At least I won't have to worry about getting arrested for an offensive tweet.
Much ignorance? Typical American attitude. Remember that every CPU in every product in Apple's current range, iPads, iPhones, Apple TV, Macbooks are all now using CPUs that use ARM architecture that was developed in the UK. The target acquisition system in the F35 Stealth Fighter is European. EutelSat has OpenWeb, a Starlink equivalent. I can go on and on and on.
Oh come one.
Apple can change that on a whim. But, let's say for argument's sake that all of a sudden, Apple would be somehow prohibited from using ARM. Do you have any idea what it will mean to the European economy if U.S. tech exports to the EU are stopped?
Intel, AMD, Microsoft. Facebook, Instagram, Google, Youtube. All those companies that they EU likes to tax (oh, I'm sorry, "fine" for some sort of made up violation) but are highly dependent on.
And let's not even try to get started on "but but but but the EU has smart people to". Yes, you do. And the smartest ones are all moving to the U.S. because they're taxed to death in Europe. I know hundreds, if not thousands.
Signed,
A tech-tax refugee from Europe now living in the Bay Area. (and I would never even consider going back to that socialist hellhole)
Downvote all you want.
and in particular which Republicans are frequency the gay bars
I don't know about you, but I don't give a shit about who visits gay bars and who doesn't.
It's 2025. Being gay is okay.
A $1,000 ticket better come with a guaranteed blowjob from the artist.
Ozzy Osbourne will rise from the grave for you.
That would require people taking personal responsibility, and Americans are deathly allergic to that.
The fact that an utter moron like you gets upvoted as Insightful says everything I need to know about the broken moderation system here on
Fuck. You.
The EU does not mess around when it comes to financial penalties for privacy and tech monopoly type things.
Which is exactly the reason why they passed these laws. They have no meaningful AI innovation: all substantial innovation is happening in the U.S.
In other words: once again, the EUSSR is trying to leach money out of US companies using their "these laws are to protect the children" adagium.
This is getting really old really quick.
Any prosecution that relied on banned facial recognition should be thrown out and sentences vacated. Fruit of the poison tree.
And any prosecutor worth their salt will explain to you that a city council enacting a policy banning a specific investigative method does not mean that it is unlawful for the police to actually use it as evidence during a criminal trial.
Also, I guess you are not familiar with the many exceptions to the poisonous tree doctrine.
Your statement ascribes to them "wants", which is an intention, which you cannot observe as fact except if they have said so (which they have not done).
People way smarter than you or me have solved that problem a long time ago. Courts determine intent (even past intent) based on observable actions. This is especially true in murder cases: someone pointing a gun at another's head and firing the trigger is a pretty good indication that the murderer intended to kill, even though they say it's just an accident.
Here, we observe that the EUSSR, like they did in the past, open an investigation into a wealthy foreign entity, and we know from the past that their true intention is to enrich their own coffers.
Cobol programmers are down in the dumps.
