    This is probably at least partially true. And they know that if they get together with South America, they can easily replace FIFA with another governing structure.

    You know how it is: 10k here, 30k there... and there is a few M in a swiss bank account (or whatever the modern hiding place is).

    You misunderstood, it's 31.6% actually.

    Well no. We were just reminded (pretty directly and rudely, I might add) that USA is not always on our side. Nothing wrong with being independent and able to stand on our own feet.…

    One step at a time. Until then, you can use Murena or GrapheneOS.

    Yes. And there were many other cases in between, I just lack incentive to dig them up. Feel free to do it yourself. The thing is - their behavior didn't change for better.

    As someone who is regularly blocked by CF and G - no, they are not. Even worse, they should not be, because that would mean the complete end of privacy online (not that we are far …

    For me, Fable is useless. It goes its own way and doesn't communicate much even if explicitly asked to. Sure it builds a lot of stuff, but it is more often than not useless because…

    Wow, just wow. How about charging the website builders for negligence, for failing to protect sensitive data? Simply incredible.

    No difference - very similar actually.

    It can be done so that it looks like a series of "oopsie" bugs. China (the same as US) has used spycraft extensively in the past.

    Absolutely not. Go read e.g. GPL license before spreading such falsehoods.

    Nah, I think this is Google's way of pushing against those who value privacy. Firefox? With uBO? No cookies? Not fetching Google fonts? Must be a bot for sure. /s
