  • Oh absolutely. I just think that there's a danger that people will think if the Tories are out of power all of these kinds of proposals will just disappear.

  • Oh yeah, because authoritarianism doesn't give large chunks of the labour party massive hard ons too.

    If they'd had their way all our biometrics would be on a database and we'd have to have our id cards with us at all times.

  • Because the USA a large industrial economy.

    Though I agree it would be also nice to see a comparison with the EU.

  • Or Holgram O'Brian in the new 31st century Star Trek academy they've been talking about.

  • Everything, maybe. As we can more widely blame 13 years of Tory failure.

    EU roaming is definitely a direct result of Brexit however. EU roaming charges were only removed because of the EU, so leaving the EU they were obviously going to return.

  • It's usually younger drivers (17-20) that would have it. It used to be so you could get your insurance cheaper, but companies being companies has meant that a lot won't even insure younger drivers without it now, and charge double what they used to.

  • Does this count as spoilers: 🦴🪑😭

  • Was thinking exactly this.

  • I have no idea what you're doing wrong. All the led bulbs I've got are coming up on ten years old and working fine.

  • If the fine was 4% of global revenue every month, sure

    Lol oh yeah, good point.

  • The profit they'd need to make off EU users would need to increase by over $4.66 billion to make a 4% fine on of global revenue.

    Even if every single person in the EU (including babies and anyone who doesn't have a meta account) took up the paid tier it wouldn't offset a 4% fine on global revenue. They'd need it make $10 profit extra per person per month. Their price is €10 (just over 10 USD) a month. Subtract from that 20% tax and another let's say 5% for card handling fees and their general costs gives them €7.50. The you need to subtract from that what they were making off users before as we're looking at increase.

  • GDPR caps out at 4% of global turnover. Which is still a monumental amount of money.

  • Was not expecting a newsround link when I saw it was bbc

  • It's just about usability. Top of phones are hard to reach nowadays, so the more UI elements that are towards the bottom the better!
