a very big amount of european news websites are doing this anyway and it seems it's not being enforced, so i think it's more grey area

are they that hard to find in your country? for me it's way more likely to find a VGA cable around than an HDMI when i need it

Re:Mr. Beast Deepfake Scam on Thursday October 05, 2023 @01:31AM (#37775196)

they have very high amounts of fraud going on so they made their antifraud crazy strict and it makes more false positives than actual detections

Re:Pirate Site Not Impressed by Global DNS Blocking Order on Sunday August 06, 2023 @12:14AM (#37018932)
well good luck going after a website that is probably hosted in an offshore country where piracy is legal and they won't even bother to answer to you. it's easy and enough effective to just block it dns level, most people outside here don't even know what dns is anyway so they won't bother finding a way around it

Re:Telegram raises $210M through bond sales on Wednesday July 19, 2023 @12:52AM (#36782245)
reminder that telegram recently added this to their ToS

"2) For personalized ads, Telegram will analyze IP addresses, down to the city, will analyze users' interests based on search queries, subscriptions and contacts, and data "collected from other platforms."

3) Personalized ads will also appear in private channels.

4) A "list of identification numbers based on the phone numbers of platform users" will also be used for personalized ads.

Telegram states that it will not collect the above data if the user is a Telegram Premium subscriber."

promote.telegram.org still says

"This means that no user data is mined or analyzed to display ads, and every user viewing a particular channel on Telegram sees the same sponsored messages."

i wouldn't really trust a platform that went full 360° with their promises multiple times in the past and is now doing it again

is it possible? yes

is it illegal? also
