There is a huge amount of UK infra now that is dependant on US companies either directly or indirectly (AWS, Microsoft/Azure). Code, data and infra is locked into US platforms. Whe…

I don't think that would happen. Most of the large tech platforms will essentially just comply or come to a deal e.g. The IPA Demand for the UK gov to have a global backdoor iCloud…

They do not. The alt-right hate Jews or people who support Israel. Ben Shapiro is a Jew, Jordan Peterson supports Israel and used to work for Daily Wire that had a Jewish host. No …

That happens on car repair vids as well. I like this channel for example: https://www.youtube.com/c/WatchWesWork He fixes up a lot of different type of vehicles and actually explai…

The alt-right does not like them. You don't know what you are talking about.

You know what is the funniest thing. I used to drink all these different Ales and artisan beers. After I quit drinking alcohol. I used to have a 4 pack of these 0% Ales/Larger that…

They actually do show a several notices that says "Fancy something different, click here". They already have a mechanism in place that does something similar to what you describe. …

Yes it is an over the top comparison. I am a recovered / former addict (alcohol). I would never compare the two. I was spending too much time on Twitter a few years ago. I deleted …
