I think that the fact that no one is fully sure is part of the problem.

The act is intentionally very vague and broad.

Generally, the gist is that it's up to the platforms themselves to assess and identify risks of "harm", implement safety measures, keep records and run audits. The guidance on what that means is very loose, but some examples might mean stringent age verifications, proactive and effective moderation and thorough assessment of all algorithms.

If you were to ever be investigated, it will be up to someone to decide if your measures were good or you have been found lacking.

This means you might need to spend significant time making sure that your platform can't allow "harm" to happen, and maybe you'll need to spend money on lawyers to review your "audits".

The repercussions of being found wanting can be harsh, and so, one has to ask if it's still worth it to risk it all to run that online community?

The US is definitely still playing world police.

I don't have a full answer but what I observed is that there is always someone that is nearby and "in control".

The base I think works like this:

- you scan the passport

- you look at the camera

- your passport details & photo are sent to the control room with your live feed

- a guy looks at everything those details plus your immigration history and other info

- same guy decides to let you in or send you to a desk

This was particularly obvious in the old Gibraltar border where you could easily be the only person going through and so the agent had to do the routine just to let you pass.

Great!! Now stop FATCA and show you actually care about the privacy of people that live in the EU.

really? this is what makes you sympathetic? Not all excessive violence and completely unchecked abuse of power?

Indeed, which is why I think they ended backing out. But even if it could, there are definitely better ways of handling it. The deal we ended up getting is one that benefits all sides and I wish more companies would adopt.

Forced means, they didn't announce it as you could not do it. It's was a "be on-call" or you are out.

In a call I was explicitly told "every company does it like this, if that's not ok you might not be a right fit for this company".

I am in the same position where I emigrated and would not fight for my home country. That said, there are many reasons why someone would.

First of all, not everyone emigrates because of hate for their homeland, many do it for necessity and keep close ties.

Some emigrate to search fortune to one day return.

Some emigrate for love, of people or things.

And even those that in the end emigrate because they didn't like their country might still want to fight, not for the country, but for the people that they love that still live in it.

Quite OT: how do people get adsense (or other advertisers) on apps/games like these? I have a few apps that I would love to try an monetize but whenever I apply for adsense I get rejected for "lack of content".

Guess I'm out of luck :/ thank you anyway!

That's a real shame... I will consider raising the prices but I am really worried about it because it's really just an impulse purchase for a very small thing and I feel like almost no one will be interested if the price is too high.
