The "buying from advertisers" strategy was a workaround, and has yet to be properly tested in court. Hopefully we'll get that loophole closed soon. They also use it heavily for recruitment to pinpoint the most desperate youth

It now directly affects the troops and military, who they ostensibly do care about. Maybe the citizens can have a little privacy reform, as a trickle-down treat.

It sounds like they disabled the "advertising ID" OS feature, but there are many other ways to fingerprint a device for advertising. Maybe this will lead to real privacy reform, now that the true risks are apparent. Not to mention

That would be the opinionated part of the opinionated software.

Just like Google is "committed to user privacy".

Maybe it's a coordinated strategy. All major providers are down for x time, and see which accounts stop posting in the same timeframe. Ban wave right after.

The fundamental function of the site can now be vibecoded in a day, so now has no value. The daily visitors are the only unused item of value remaining.

This was after a phone call from Trump, unlike Google which complied in advance - I wonder if it was to Cook or Ternus?

They are at best deeply, deeply misinformed.

There are many other vibecoded apps that do the same thing out there. The App store suggestions on this one: Shop Canadian, Maple Scan, Buy Beaver, Is This Canadian? Scan & Check, Check the Label. How is this one unique in this crowded

Good. Too many people don't trust the media, so new reliable sources of truth need to arise. Even then, "Grok is this true?".

The UK governments view of "appropriate content" is... not great. Why would any creator take the risk of being arrested instead of merely having their video taken down?

People don't want them stopped entirely, they just want some kind of reasonable tradeoff or restrictions. The current government just doesn't care or listen at all. Just say "we hear you, here's what we are doing about y

If you donate to them from the US, you probably get put on a no-fly list at a minimum. Maybe even a friendly visit from the feds at your home!

If we have fair and just laws, there will always be some who try to abuse them. Authoritarians are the only ones who believe they can create a 100% perfect system, and the path that leads to is very dark. Communist Russia and China are some

They must be using AI for policy with the amount of obscure, ineffective laws they pull out of nowhere. At least someone is going through the dusty ones and allowing them to be legally tested and then removed properly.

Section 338 allows it. Anything Canada does that gives themselves any trade advantage allows retaliation. Essentially inevitable. whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2026/07/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-imposes-additional-

Why is it even a question that this should be the default? Each company has extensive records of which customers paid which portion of tariffs and exactly how much they were.
