People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. Archive.is is another way, but it's a less pleasant user experience.

Bailiffs can place an arrest their income streams and bank accounts and sell their cars and homes.

Also there's a debt registry you can be put into if you're like 3 months overdue and don't come to some kind of agreement with whoever you borrowed from. Usually the banks are pretty lenient if you go to them with a proposal to pay off the debt in small installments because it's less messy than going to court and getting a bailiff appointed

Ok, so in your country the debt registry functions as a credit score to warn lenders about deadbeat borrowers

Yes but it's pretty difficult to end up there and most people never do. Meaning all our data is safe.
