How do you figure that we disagree? Seems to me that we agree quite a bit.

We have laws on those areas. They are both stricter and more harshly enforced. Unfortunately it’s lucrative enough for companies to exploit loop holes by utilising subcontractors, paying the fines and so on. The real issue is the proof, but

Not exactly. Most of our apps are some form of client/server architecture which means most of them are moving to JavaScript clients, but typically it’s react, angular or vue.

It’s not Java in the browser, it’s the Java virtual environment required to run Java apps. If that’s not the JVM then my mistake.

Those billionaires still have the means to impact the world in ways that you or I do not, should they chose to do so.

Are they really impactful though? Maybe in terms of selling things, but have the Kardashians (or whoever is the biggest influencer) impacted the world the same way that someone like Rudolph Murdoch has?

The thing I think is false is your portrayal of EU legislation targeting the little person while leaving the big corps alone. Because reality is quite the opposite. We are struggling to handle “influencers” because they are a “new” concept

This is frankly not true in a lot of European countries. Google, Facebook and every other company cannot advertise things like toys, tobacco or alcohol to children here in Denmark, and they have to clearly tell you which parts are advertisi

Which countries are these? I live in Denmark. We’re on 600-800 new cases a day and were around 72% vaccinated. It’s fairly easy to explain why we have 600-800 a day even though it’s not “record outbreaks”. Part of it is the 72% and who the
