Idea: Governments maintain a list of entities that are evading the law like that, and then doesn't prosecute people who are accused of crimes against such entities. The idea being that if you place yourself outside of the law's reach, you also place yourself outside of the law's protection.
That’s a bingo!
the utility of the nation/state has been broken by 21st century meta-national billionaires
unions are useful but they no longer cover the distance between labor and capital
we need a new group of collective shit to aspire to because humans gonna human
Of course it has. It says everything you need to know
Maybe they should be investigated for all the child porn they used to host and the TD contributions to the riots
To this day, I still can't believe how long Reddit defended underage porn subreddits. Literally do nothing and say "free speech" . Then suddenly a news article happens and then they finally take action.
It’s almost like spez cares more about money than any kind of moral grandstanding, which of course is super weird for a capitalist

If anything, the Dutch will enforce more laws on them
Fuck these tax heavens.
Sarcasm surely
The moved their jurisdiction to the Netherlands? In the EU? Wow. Now the GDPR can be used to really kick their butts.
GDPR applies regardless of where headquarters are located
Yes, but it's easier to enforce EU regulations when the headquarters happens to be within the EU.
A move from Ireland to the Netherlands doesn't really change much in that regard.
There is always the issue of "x applies" and "x is enforcable". Think of Signal or Telegram here.
They would be forced to delete all messages of all deleted users
It moved from Ireland to the Netherlands, both are in the EU. This will not change anything regarding GDPR.
Aren't there tax benefits to incorporating in Ireland? Conventional thought would suggest that the tax/regulatory environment in the Netherlands would be less attractive? Maybe that's wrong... I wonder what their reasons for moving were. Is that where Steve Huffman wants to build his new doomsday bunker? Gotta spread out just in case. Maybe connect it to the one in CA with a massive underwater tunnel lol clown
Oh we got a bunch of leeches in Europe, Ireland is not the only one
They usually operate in tandem, a double dutch irish tax sandwich or whatever it is called.
A censorship promoting platform flees censorship?
Welkom in Nederland, moederneuker!
Vierenveertig vliegjen en een goudvis in de pinderkaas op de lul in een konijntjenaaimachine!
