I would say it has more to do with their history. It's kind of a special part of their history and it doesnt mean the rest of europe should adopt the same attitude

any algorithm will be gamed so it doesnt make a lot of sense. Why do we have algorithms again? My feed is chronological, which forces me to only include the right amount of people, and the right people. When twitter randomly resets it to al

bitcoin is not about creating artificial rarity, it's a different kind of system that creates real rarity, and can defend itself. Artificial rarity is when copiable or physical items are being considerer rare by fiat of a smart contrac

There was a time when everyone and their brother were self hosting: napster, kazaa, hotline etc. Why has this trend stalled for 20 years

It is not that lawmakers censor nipples. it is google that is demonetizing them, even though it has the power (by virtue of controlling both sides of the ad market) to change those attitudes. Yet they have only been becoming more restrictiv
