No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads?
69·1 day agoSame reason Microsoft or Adobe do not stop piracy. They want to create friction that pushes people to pay, but if they fully blocked adblockers then it could create an impetus for a competitor to become popular.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: There are hundreds of monuments around the world to people who abetted or took part in the murder of Jews and others during the Holocaust

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Etsy Witches Say Spell Casting Is No Longer Welcome on the PlatformEnglish
41·3 days agoPerhaps, but I was talking in a more general sense, I assume most of the “targets” of these “services” were not Nazis. Also the law usually has little to do with morality and justice.
(It also raises the question, is it moral to sell fake nazi murders?)

United Kingdom@feddit.uk•Dual nationals to be denied entry to UK from 25 February unless they have British passportEnglish
11·4 days agoBut Spain requires non-nationals naturalising to renounce their previous nationality and presenting her British passport at the airport will legally risk her Spanish nationality.
Surely if she’s renounced her nationality she isn’t a British national?
