Copyright law is mostly bullshit, though.

So is a local newspaper supposed to be afraid of not complying aggressively enough with foreign laws from the whole world, or just the EU? The way I see it they're already doing more than is reasonably required by making a good faith effort to prevent people in the EU from accessing their site. Holding them responsible for people who deliberately bypass the blocking seems downright imperialist to me.
What exactly is the EU gonna do about a foreign site that does no business in the EU? They don't rule the world.
One example I know if is my hometown newspaper, dentonrc.com; I have a friend who moved to Europe and was annoyed that they geo-blocked him, but I can't really blame them. How many people are really gonna visit the site for a small American newspaper from the EU? From a business perspective it makes no sense for them to pay a developer to do more than the bare minimum.
I don't feel the need to get a case that would allow my phone to survive an incident that I wouldn't survive.
You people should've stayed on Reddit.
That's a bingo!
Does that mean you're Japanese, or that you're going to become Japanese?
I don't think things like names of suspects or victims should be made public.
That's still a new key for some people. My laptop doesn't have a context key, for example.
Ok, I think I see where our disagreement is. Would you agree that an encrypted broadcast is ok if you encrypt the sensitive information with a key that is only accessible to the specific individuals who need it? Not that I see any advantage to doing so—it's just a hypothetical scenario.
Killing 3rd party cookies is good, but doing it in a way that drives business to Google Ad Services seems like a textbook case of anticompetitive behavior to me. I wonder what makes them think they can get away with it. Or maybe they don't think they can but they're grasping at straws to keep their money printing machine operational.
You're describing the difference between the original Luddism that's against exploitation and the degenerate form that's just a blind hatred of new technology. Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of the latter on Lemmy.
