It was done in the past for larger US based businesses. I don't see why it couldn't be done with DDG.
Also, if your businesses is under a gag order the most logical thing to do is to act like nothing is happening. Because for DDG privacy IS the product. They don't have better results than Google they are trying to differentiate through privacy (or the appearance of privacy).
Also DDG is US based and has to submit to all the privacy invading American agencies. And they could be under a gag order nobody would ever know.
If privacy was a genuine concern for DDG they would have never based their business in the US.
You can create an account on DDG.
Even if you don't they can probably link your IP to search requests.
And even if they refuse, some agency could probably install their own software to track users.
I understand this looks like paranoia but again considering the invasion of privacy the NSA did in the past, it's not really far fetched.
My only concern with DDG is that they are US based and as far as I know they can be submitted to a gag order and forced to silently give private data to some agencies.
After the Snowden leaks this doesn't inspire much confidence in their ability to protect the privacy of their users.
I think they simply can't guarantee any privacy even if they have good intentions.
Weren't they talking about adding ADs right in VR ?
Seriously, what a nightmare. You try to escape reality playing a video game in immersion through VR and you get served ads ?
That added to privacy issues at Facebook, I would never touch that product.
What about a new article in the constitution?
I guess most will find this completely overkill but access to free information should be a right everybody has and no party should be able to remove that.
I understand amending the constitution of any country should be done very carefully but keeping century old constitutions is completely dumb imo. Some articles are still relevant today others are not or would seriously benefit in being updated.
I see simple scenarios:
Seems like a fairly reasonable thing to happen when it comes to console use.
Think about a controller that remained ON and has stick drift.
You are playing solo but that unused controller keeps parasiting the inputs.
Good luck troubleshooting this.
And thanks to Sony for making sure stick drifts is still a thing. The solution exists and doesn't seem very expensive...
They could have changed things through updates which exacerbated the issue and made the modem emit more.
I have no clue if that is why but that would be my bet.
I'm kind of surprised they would have been able to release the device and ship it to customers with that issue in the first place.
If this always fails why do they keep trying ?
They will try again until people stop fighting it.
People shouldn't let their guard down...
Oh I'm sure the incredibly powerful lobby you are speaking about will be totally fine with a law dictating the way they style and display their packaging.
Also the pure nightmare of implementing in law what you say for a wide range of products. Let's say I want to sell an individual vegan "steak" but I can't put a large packaging just for the label ?
Also, the purposefully misleading labels in the food industry is already pretty common so I think I'm not exaggerating when I say than any gap in the law will be abused.
And it's again extremely difficult to protect one single word without it's context.
For instance, in steaks we usually try to have the amount of fat in it because it gives you an indication of the amount of actual meat in your steak. Because I could wildly vary the amount and sell you 0.1% meat steaks that is actually vegetables which is much cheaper. It is not the first time that the food industry has tried to sell litteral fake meat. It's an expensive product and if you can make it for cheap and keep at the same price it's obviously worth it.
What I genuinely don't understand is why vegan products are trying so hard to look like non vegan products?
Is it important for a bunch of vegetables composition to be called a steak ? If anything I would think a vegan product would want to stand out from standard meat ?
You won't convert to veganism people by selling them fake steaks. It doesn't work.
You achieve so much more teaching kids that eatings meals without meat is fine and we are starting to do it in schools.
But thinking someone that ate meat all his life will become vegan because he found this wonderful vegan steak is imo quite delusional and missing the point.
Food industry wants to sell you a product not matter how. Less restrictions for them is not a good news.
The simple fact that iMessage has 0 interoperability makes it much worse than everything else.
So I doubt RCS could be as bad except if they remove the ability to operate with other RCS clients. And even for Google and Samsung that would be extremely stupid.
