What does it take for you to label a Hitler a Hitler? You watch someone kill thousands of children based on racism and decide they’re not a Hitler?

Western celebrities don’t go a single month without media appearances?
Edit: I read it wrong. It says “months” plural, and I guess the headline belongs to a different article.

No, Iran probably wouldn’t believe them, but if they get some money or something else from it that they can eat until the USA reneges then that’s good enough. And probably whatever penalty will actually be enforced, the USA likes some decorum. If it isn’t enforced then it’s a good PR for Iran and anyone who didn’t act as a guarantor for USA.

I’m arguing against the user saying Biden was left with no choice. I think Biden’s regime had a good route towards fixing the mistake, and chose not to take it. I’m trying to say ‘Trump’ isn’t to blame, but the USA, including the USA of today.

Google Play get fined and the reward goes to Google Android.

Why not? “Trump was an anomaly, if you agree to it we’ll make a new binding agreement that’s better for you than the previous one and this time by law there’s self-imposed consequences if we renege a second time.” Are you saying they wouldn’t take that?

Keep in mind this is information provided by the USA, so it’s completely untrustworthy. It’s possible this happened. It’s possible his phone automatically pulled an Instagram update and that’s close enough for their spin. And it’s possible this is completely fabricated.
You cannot trust them as a source when they need to vilify him.

You mean “on ad-tech”, it’s a setting, it’s not forced. Firefox by default has cookies and javascript on, which are also primarily ad-tech. The decision to allow ads by default was made a long time ago. It’s what most users want.

I don’t think Firefox is for you. Firefox is a sane defaults type application, not an unopinionated humble application. It has a lot of settings which everyone appreciates, but ideologically it’s targeting someone else.

Okay, but should every other feature that has downsides then also be opt-in only? Should javascript be opt-in? Should storing cookies? Should HTTPS? – After all, for the encryption to work, you need to send something to someone. Actually, should HTTP be opt-in in your web browser, since it mandates sending requests?
