Economic policies will start shifting to inflation reducing by raising interest rates. This is purely inflationary in all economies and it’s hilariously going to tank stock trading.


Precedent is already set by countries blocking them, it’s been done.


Find a culture you like and language you think is interesting and learn. No need to make it a chore, turn it into something positive and maybe go visit. You can find someone to talk to in their native language and even better someone who wants to learn yours!


They need regulation into the ground. Their reporting feature doesn’t cover fraud and doesn’t function. Constant scams, honey pots you name it. Rampant


Shhh you’re giving away trade secrets.


Death toll is now up to 15


Right is doing the lords work


Or just switched


Meh its a seriously dated OS thats had layers of lipstick added onto the turd all the while gaslighting its customers while stealing from them.
Its beyond insecure, hasn’t innovated in a long time and their answer to this? Online accounts and slop to steal more customer data…
Stockholm syndrome in PCs is very real.


Time to regulate the shit out of them. They don’t know what consent is, they flaunt the abuse of privacy laws.
don’t stoop to ad-hominem
At this point Ad-hominem is practically the nice name for the business model “enshitification”.


Reasonable.


Welcome to Britain


End users… … aren’t paying shit
Users dont pay for the services. Okaay.
Well done you know how sales tax works. Customers pay the business. Business pays the Government. My point.
Swing and a miss on all points.
FYI I used the common terms for your benefit, you sounded American.

Is history at this point


Call things what they are, not a tax.
You should practice it.
Levy is a Tax.
opposition requires
Absolute bollocks. Doesn’t require anything. It only requires personal opinion. Parliament runs on it.
Of course the privacy impact is huge. privacy just does not matter to the average working voting person trying to put groceries on the table.
MPs wont change the stance here because people want to be protected by anonymity. Frankly they won’t change stance at all. Its a certainty at this point.
But it will increase the cost of business which will be passed on and definitely exploited.
“Wont somebody think of the children”
Plenty of children starving in the UK because Government services cant raise revenue to maintain existing levels of public services.
I look to the UK and see the future of western economies. Boned badly, society highly controlled with a large overall tax burden, years of immigration to keep the budget balaced on paper increasing the impact all to delay the fallout. And yes while this will most likely not register a blip to the CPI, its still yet another cut in the wrong direction.


Levy, lol.
Call it what it is: a tax.
A burden on the population. No amount of dirty politics changes the fact. Taxes do not all get directly paid to gavernment. Like sales taxes, service tips ect.
