I think great number of people who use those services can't afford 5 grand jacket. I am talking about people making 100-200k a year. They are really anally violated by taxes.

If taxes were not set too high and states didnt abuse their power, people wouldn't have to resort to such tools.

They do worse - instead of just blocking the internet, they'll first inspect what is being uploaded to it.

AdSense has been a success. There is a saying - if you start don't copy what company is doing now, but what they were doing when they started.

This can be easily checked.

All radio and TV and in some countries the press as well.

Problem is that you cannot pretend you can't remember the password. So unless what you hide can give you more time than for not disclosing the password, then yes having things encrypted could help...

That would make it much easier.

That benefit could also be a card to anonymous account in tax haven.

In some countries you can do time for not disclosing passwords. In the UK it is 5 years.

Surely they don't hand over cash, I didn't mean that, but they give benefits by different means.

Enlighten me please, as I don't believe the reasons for passing it are genuine.

It is very easy to block VPN, Tor and other technologies. These can be in fact criminalised the same way drugs are. Possession of a VPN on your device could give you a criminal record.

That means if you have a website a third party would have control over everything that is being uploaded to it.

In Spain they _had to_ link to publishers, so Google has shut down their service.

Another thing is that the media are licensed, so they cannot go against the government out of fear of losing such license. Now, one could assume that this copyright thing is a smokescreen to introduce EU wide censorship as everything users

If this law has already been paid for, what you would get from your MEP is a template response in the spirit of "I share your concerns blah blah, but copyrights are important blah blah". I don't think you can do much about it

I disagree. You can easily overdose alcohol with spirits and "pushing the tempo". Many teenagers died during stupid drinking games. If you drink "normally" it would be difficult, but that is the same with other drugs. If

Government will be able to control content shared on the internet and block whatever they see fit.

Every user generated content will have to go through censor machines meaning 3rd parties will be collecting private information and control it on massive scale. This will allow governments to block protests or any movements against their ag

This is such a downer on holidays, when you want to rest at luxury place, but some young people ruin it for you with their obnoxious behavior. I hope there will be hotels that ban such Instagram addicts from premises.

It is not going to be long before people will have to wear armbands stating their citizenship...

I have sent a couple of requests and waiting for a month deadline to escalate. None of the companies replied.

When I watched documentary "The House I Live In" I was really shocked by the scale of the abuse towards citizens. It was in 2012, about six years later nothing has changed or it is going even worse. Now, when I share a link to thi

Another success of "war on drugs". How Americans got so apathetic and let different organisations essentially bully them however they want? The reports about what's happening in America paint a picture as if it was a police s

It is not about being inept but rather being willing to pass whatever someone pays you to pass. They simply don't care about the consequences because these will have nothing to do with them. If sh*t hits the fan, they'll retire on

This proposal shows how a body that has a power of creating regulation can get corrupted and there is nobody dare to investigate. I won't mention how much tax payer money could have been already wasted on this. People should be in jail

Ok, but how is that a problem? If employer doesn't want you, you look for another job.
