The EU decided that it rather doesn't have any platforms than some which allow hate/propaganda/childabuse. The intent is to fight the mentioned things and ideally remove them from society. By and large, this decision is a democratic one and fine.

Platforms may continue operation, if they promise to remove all stuff. Here there are two options, one stipulating that all content needs to be checked before its published. Thats the draconian approach. Currently its fine to only go after user reported stuff.

Now to your first question: They fon't gaf about musk and don't care if he removes the stuff. But if he choses not to, they will shutdown twitter for europeans. Thats why they adress him, because he as a major shareholder and CEO (is he?) calls the shots there.

It's my go-to player for various podcasts. I don't end up watching, just listening. But it's YouTube nonetheless.

While I don't normally use it for music, the magic of it's recommendation engine has led me into several amazing music niches, wich I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Afaik NZ has already implemented such a rule.

Huh. I gave it a try, and while drunk, i just went on and on, but overall it just smelled so bad that it never became a habit. I guess i'm lucky

At least in Germany there are Limits to t&c's. To put it simply, there musn't be any ugly surprises.

The merchant retroactively cancelling your purchases would be an ugly surprise of that nature.

Ianal, but I assume they might get into trouble for the use of words like buy and own, if this is how they treat the purchases.

whats wrong with personalized ads? is it much different from booking different TV channels for different audiences?

Not even the commies put corpes in their parliament

But... you have choice. Nobody needs to go to taylor Swifts concerts. Nobody needs to see the next Marvel movie. It's a business.

As long as people only spend money on things that are worth more to them than said money, everyone is fine. If people can't control their purchases, it isn't the industry's fault.

I'm fortunate to not enjoy popular culture in the first place.

And a lifestyle that doesn't require cars seems incomprehensible to them.

That's business. Bmw isn't a cost effective brand in the first place, so anyone on a budget shouldn't complain in the first place

I also know for a fact that elon won't hesitate to do something for Reason A and communicate Reason B as his motivation.

His ethics might follow some business rules: cut your losses, and the winner gets it all.

He calls himself a free speech absolutist and uses saudi funds to buy twitter at the same time. Then the Saudis use twitter data to give the death penalty to people who don't like them publicly on twitter and elon does - nothing.

People with less might just not complain loudly

We need to view this seperate issues:

One is putting all options into a car and only making them available to customers who pay. This somewhat makes sense, and while it is annoying, it might benefit customers and automakers alike.

The other is making a hardware option a subscription. I personally hate that, but it just might make sense. People also rent houses and lease cars, why not add some customisation?

There might be a third question: Why do people even buy Beamers?

The only thing that matters is voting with your wallet

It seems that when a dictator's interests differ from his countries interests, the entire country becomes foreign to him

Isn't cheap land good for anything that involves land use?

We have the north sea, quite windy and shallow enough to build tall wind Mills.

Currently the power rating is up to 10 MW and the blades are over 100m (300ft) long.
