You will probably ban a lot of VPN users as collateral damage. VPN providers often use these small and relatively cheap providers for their endpoints. You may be fine with banning those VPN users, or even want that - lots of bots will try t

It's not as easy as saying "there is an exemption", because courts ruled in many such cases and usually denied that argument, at least here in Germany and other EU jurisdictions I am aware of. E.g. you cannot just keep medica

I am pretty sure a lot do. First, a lot of immigrants came to pursue the "American Dream", trying to break free from poverty, or oppression, or both. Then you have specific instances of Asian people (systematically) being mistreat

Comparing google to big tobacco is very flawed. Big tobacco has essentially one product, and that product is always harmful. Google on the other hand has a variety of products. Even when it comes to their biggest product i.e. ads, they&#x27

Does the MUJI Tiny Outhouse (sold separately) come with canalization and flushing water, or just a hole and "tank"? Yeah, that thing is clearly not meant for people to live in, unlike the article suggests.

The "if they can nail him" seems like a big if to me. If it is a scheme and he had no intention of ever actually buying twitter, the government would still have to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he did it for this fraudulent

I don't disagree with your remarks about startups and big "software" companies, or rather the lack thereof in the EU. However, that's not even what Schwarz is targeting here. They are targeting the IT departments of exis
