Yes, it would.

They don't leave the play store because, and exclusively because, Google allows them to do anything they want. Apple does not. The literally exact day a similar law goes into effect in the US, it's an absolute guarantee Facebook leaves the App Store with every single app they have. There's not even the slight possibility they stay there.

Facebook/ten cent/etc have literally zero reason to stay off the play store. Google encourages them to be malware, and doesnt curtail their bad behavior is any way.

Apple doesn't. They might not leave while they think they can also destroy the security of iOS in the US, but it is a complete and utter certainty that the literal day any similar law takes effect in the US that Facebook and all their apps leave the App Store completely. They absolutely can trivially walk people through the steps from their website and the apps that are already installed, and they already have the monopoly to force their users to deal with it.

Apple isn't Reddit, building a market by claiming to be open then locking it down. They built their market because the walled garden is a massively better product.

The problem is that "don't let people game you" is extremely difficult.

It's many, many orders of magnitude easier to provide a useful search of sites that tell you the truth about what they are than it is when 99% of sites lie to you.

I've had decent experience with nobara with a 2080. I had a couple hiccups early, and had to reinstall basically right away, but after that it's been solid.

But still declared them liable for the actions of their users.

Bad ruling, just less bad than it could be.

I'm guessing they're the leagues they have some rights to. But even assuming they have it solved way before football season it dampens my interest a bunch.

No NFL? I don't care that it's the offseason. It dwarves every other US sport. Not having it to select day one is odd.

Edit: "yesterday" instead of "recent games" is just as weird.

If I put the over/under at 10x male pirate to female, are you taking the under?

I've definitely noticed the results suck ass, but this is a nice breakdown.

You should hate it as a manager. You're filtering out every single quality candidate because only a deranged nut job would even consider such an unhinged request. Submitting a video, in and of itself, proves they are not worth hiring.

You don't need to process every candidate. Just randomly take 5%, or 1%, or .001%, and do a real hiring process. Anything at all is better than requiring a video application.

That shouldn't work. They should still be unconditionally liable for anything the rep said in all scenarios, with the sole exception being obvious sabotage like "we'll give you a billion dollars to sign up" that the customer knows can't be real.
