I’m judge JimBob and I suddenly have a great interest in whatever I was told to because I ~~deeply care about the people~~ was definitely not given millions in stock for large companies

Is this the first anti-Dark-Pattern rule in existence? If so I’m hoping more like it comes soon.

Already exists in Germany

Hopefully this sticks. IMO, movie studios need to keep attracting customers or the whole film industry will stay dead.

I think EU law already prevents this, at least this has never been an issue in the multiple member states I lived in.

Living in the EU and Latin America, I can safely say this has never been an issue before with the exception of Proton Mail which took me 8 confirmations and 5 retries

While great news… Watch all of this get undone.

We get these headlines kinda regularly. Feds will do a thing that will save you!

It never gets implemented or is Swiss cheese lol
