    EU member *countries" certainly do, but that's true of all countries that have the ability. If anything the EU puts limits on what EU member countries and companies can do. By host…

    It shows that you don't need to know how to code to succeed in this type of project. As someone who does know how to code, I find the approach to be great, as it can motivate other…

    The developer is "Ascensio System SIA", and they are located in Riga, Latvia. Why the mention of Russian developers?

    You mean the "US-Israel war of aggression against Iran"? Let's not avoid assigning responsibility when it is so clear.
