  • which shall "in no case exceed* 6% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the provider.

    Maybe I read it wrong, and I don't care.

    You asked why they turned it off in some states in the US and not the EU, I have my opinion, you seem to disagree, and that's ok.

  • What are those consequences? 1 fine?

    The US states are using CIVIL law, meaning every single parent in the state could take them to court. This could bankrupt these companies in no time. This decision was probably made by an accountant.

  • Most of the age-gated states have introduced legislation that permits parents to sue the porn sites, usually the tune of 10,000 per instance.

  • Where are all the fiscal conservatives losing their minds over this?

    Where are all the guys that point at the stock market and blame the president?

    I can't help but feel that all the television networks and Washington posts of the world would be losing their collective minds if anybody but a republican was in power.

  • Portugal decriminalized all drugs in 2001.

    This new approach focused on public health as opposed to public-order priorities by decriminalizing public and private use and possession of all drugs

    The number of drug related deaths has reduced from 131 in 2001 to 20 in 2008.[33] As of 2012, Portugal's drug death toll sat at 3 per million, in comparison to the EU average of 17.3 per million, as one of the lowest drug-related death rates in the EU.[33] This reduction has decreased in later years. The number of drug related deaths is now almost on the same level as before the drug strategy was implemented.[20][28] However, this may be accounted for by improvement in measurement practices, which includes a doubling of toxicological autopsies now being performed, meaning that more drugs related deaths are likely to be recorded.[34]

  • The error here seems to be around the lack of concern for security

    I feel like this is extremely generous, but I'm a bit of a cynic.

  • So see now we have a problem, not that this guy was much trustworthy before. But now we will know he'll lie about Epstein stuff.

    So when he says he never went to the island does that mean it happened two times?

  • If they were going to reform it in any way would be more like this.

    "You know having this assistance for only poor people is actually discrimination, we must offer this money to all people who have to pay for child care regardless of income"

    If you want proof of this, take a look at North Carolina School voucher system, Republicans remove the income cap so now no matter how much you make if your kid is in private school you can get a voucher.

  • Waymo Just Reprogrammed Its Robotaxis to Drive Less Safely

  • Oh, they do not have to pay 'fines'

    However, if the car is driverless, there is likely no punishment.

    According to the Atlanta Police Standard Operating Procedure, they are told not to issue citations to driverless vehicles.

    The standards read in part:

    “The court system is currently unable to process traffic citations for AVs with no human operator. If the vehicle violates a traffic law, where a citation would be warranted, the officer must write a report providing the details surrounding the incident and the law that was violated.”

    After this incident a Waymo self-drove around a stopped school bus, there were no charges, but this article says that will change in 2026
