Frankly this is why I prefer a "maximalist" browser like Vivaldi (and old-school Opera) that focuses on building features into the core browser rather than supporting extensions. There are benefits to having a feature be provided

The thing you're looking for is the legal doctrine of "Disparate Impact." Discrimination against a protected class (like race) is illegal. Geography is not a protected class, and discrimination based on geography is not inher

The most innocuous explanation is that the URL was automatically generated from the headline, and then the headline was later changed but the URL was not. I've seen that situation happen on multiple news websites. Most commonly as new

Oddly enough, the disclaimer might actually increase the chance that you're subject to GDPR. The relevant part of GDPR is Article 3, and Recital 23 (full law text in the links below--read them, they're short!). GDPR applies to a

The GP mentioned UTMs specifically, which are coarse-grained. Generally all links in a campaign will share the same UTM parameters. Sometimes different sizes or A/B variants will have distinguishing values. But as a matter of course, t

The way GDPR works, I think the companies using TrustArc are more likely to be held liable than TrustArc itself. Unless TrustArc makes the unforced error of getting itself classified as a Data Controller.

Think about the type of workplace that Google offers, and why they offer that. Professional kitchens, on-site laundry, the bikes, getting speakers to come in and give talks, all that stuff. Google wants to be more than just a job to its

Conspiracy to X is a criminal charge, not the basis for a lawsuit. You can only sue someone over actual damages (or statutory damages), not hypothetical damages. If some DA wants to pursue criminal charges against UMN, that's separate

Actual Damages would be the time & effort to review previous patches for vulnerabilities, which is also the motivation for their demands from UMN. That's complicated by the fact that it's unpaid volunteer work, but a bill for

Perhaps "Vicious Cycle" and "Virtuous Cycle" is better terminology in this case. Both of them describe self-reinforcing (i.e. positive) feedback loops, while also making clear judgement on the desirability of the consequ
