Prices are so bad that De Beers is for sale?!

BHP's bid for Anglo American, which owns De Beers, is playing a role too.

Indeed; the title confused me too. I guess they assumed the connection with Europe to be implicit, given they are the European Center for Digital Rights and use a .eu domain.

Elon, is that your younger self on the right?

No, it's not, but at first I thought it was.

The erosion of international laws and norms –insofar as these were ever a thing and not merely a hopeful illusion– did not begin with Israel's Gaza campaign; by the time Israel started bombing Gaza, international laws and norms had already been put into question by the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine, the 2008 Russian invasion of Georgia, the 2003 invasion of Iraq led by the United States and the 1999 NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, among others. The list is not exhaustive and any bias unintended.

As if labour abuses were limited to the meat industry or more common there than in "vegan industries" like agriculture.

This is rather "yet another reason" for proper labour laws and strong unions across the board.
