the utility of the nation/state has been broken by 21st century meta-national billionaires

unions are useful but they no longer cover the distance between labor and capital

we need a new group of collective shit to aspire to because humans gonna human

The Un doesn't do it for you/us?

Of course it has. It says everything you need to know

Maybe they should be investigated for all the child porn they used to host and the TD contributions to the riots

To this day, I still can't believe how long Reddit defended underage porn subreddits. Literally do nothing and say "free speech" . Then suddenly a news article happens and then they finally take action.

It’s almost like spez cares more about money than any kind of moral grandstanding, which of course is super weird for a capitalist

A censorship promoting platform flees censorship?

The moved their jurisdiction to the Netherlands? In the EU? Wow. Now the GDPR can be used to really kick their butts.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

GDPR applies regardless of where headquarters are located

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

There is always the issue of "x applies" and "x is enforcable". Think of Signal or Telegram here.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, but it's easier to enforce EU regulations when the headquarters happens to be within the EU.

A move from Ireland to the Netherlands doesn't really change much in that regard.

They would be forced to delete all messages of all deleted users

It moved from Ireland to the Netherlands, both are in the EU. This will not change anything regarding GDPR.

Aren't there tax benefits to incorporating in Ireland? Conventional thought would suggest that the tax/regulatory environment in the Netherlands would be less attractive? Maybe that's wrong... I wonder what their reasons for moving were. Is that where Steve Huffman wants to build his new doomsday bunker? Gotta spread out just in case. Maybe connect it to the one in CA with a massive underwater tunnel lol clown

Oh we got a bunch of leeches in Europe, Ireland is not the only one

They usually operate in tandem, a double dutch irish tax sandwich or whatever it is called.
