I agree with the sentiment, but it took so long because it went all the way to the Court of Cassation, the French equivalent of the Supreme Court.

My understanding of GDPR is that, theoretically, any service which is used by European citizens is subject to GDPR. It's the citizenship of the user, not the location of the hosting or service.

The FT journalist Stephen Bush had a great tweet along these lines, although his point was more about how we write about other countries: 'Analysts believe that the return of 'Bambo' Johnson, the controversial strongman whose

They're not cheap, but it wasn't until I tried other options that I realised how lucky I'd been to stumble across them.

That's irrelevant to the comment you're responding to. The point is that there may be people who use it rationally, but how it works in the real world now that it's leaking out beyond its initial user base is getting really p

I've seen this bait-and-switch so much that my brain often appends "in mice" automatically. But this study looks at cancer in both humans and mice.

I don't know unfortunately - I just happen to have used an optician for years since buying my first set of glasses (Schuller Opticians in London) with just two branches, who uses Zeiss.

After going to an expensive opticians for a good few years, I thought I'd get a "fun" second pair of glasses at one of the new optician chains, Ace & Tate. When they arrived the lenses were rubbish quality - I hadn't

If that question was in good faith, I think your response might be the right one. But I very much doubt that question was in good faith - it sounds more to me like "suck it up or get out, princess".

Companies do care what their ads appear alongside, because of the outrage tweets and because, en masse, people / the media aren't mature enough to separate ad space and user-generated content.

I don't think it's that simple is it? Companies like Ford don't advertise on sites like Parler not just because there aren't many people there, but because of the content that their adverts would be presented alongside.

The way I look at it, there are many issues facing many economies at the moment. What Brexit did was remove any contingency that might have been available to ride out the storm.

In my definition, bureaucracy is unintentional, whereas grift is intentional. I subscribe to the view that in general these things are more likely to be due to cock-up than conspiracy. Not everyone is Robert Moses.

If you're looking for jokes to be factually accurate, comedy must be rather unsatisfying for you.

Well, it was a joke, but to take an earnest question seriously, there are entrance exams, but they're not especially hard, particularly if you've been coached beforehand, as many of these kids will be. Theoretically no special cas

"Clearly" is doing a lot of work in that sentence unless you've delved deeply into the approval process of this specific toilet. It's absolutely believable that this is just produced by sclerotic bureaucracy.

The way I explain it to American friends is that any member of the public, if they have £45,000+ per year to spare, can send their son to Eton. Simple.

That's a pretty patronising comment. Also, I think in practical terms that a lot of people do vote for the Prime Minister rather than their consituency MPs now, whatever the niceties of the UK poltical system are supposed to be.

I think the idea that the king would buy time for the monarchy by doing that is highly speculative. I very much doubt anyone knows what would happen given that the atmosphere is so febrile and it hasn't happened in centuries.
