      Yeah, they found out they could win, when they stuck it to X and straight up banned them until they complied.

      Just like the big tech companies have different ToS for EU consumers.

      Mad respect to them, but it should be normal. But it’s not.

        Also like California passing public health laws and companies deciding it is easier to comply to the entire U.S. instead of duplicating product lines.

          Same State for car emission standards as well. Too bad our cities are shit holes because of all the car infrastructure though.

      All the BRICS have. Brazil just stands out, because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.

        It also helps that unlike the R and the C in BRICS, they aren’t imperialists threatening and/or invading their neighbours. Brazil is a good world citizen.

        Not all, India is in BRICS and they are part of the problem in the tech world.

        because its not a country we’ve flagged as “Evil Enemy Run By Inhuman Savages”.

        Unless the subject is Amazon deforestation, in which case we have to stop these inhuman savages from destroying this global patrimony (mine). Please don’t ask who’s buying the cattle and soy being grown there or running the mining companies or where I got all this fertile land.

          Reminds me of people who said Amazon deforestation warranted a “military intervention.” Hey, be funny is trumpet added another country to his want-to-invade list, wouldn’t it? Yet folks still feel bothered when I say people in rich countries don’t really care all that much about poorer ones.

      It’s not on my 2025 bingo card I’ll admit, but I’m here for it.
