Mostly incorrect. The First Amendment limits the US government, not Ofcom or UK courts. UK law can regulate services with “links to the UK” even if the provider is abroad, and Ofcom’s enforcement does not itself abridge anyone’s US constitutional rights.

The EU has some of the strongest data protection laws in the world, most notably the GDPR which enforces strict rules on how personal data is collected, stored, and used, with significant penalties for violatiions. Independent watchdogs in each country enforce these rules.

Freedom of expression is protected under Article 11 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. While the EU allows limited restrictions (like hate speech, incitement to violence, etc), so do most democratic jurisdictions, including the US and UK.

> BBC Weather’s homepage is a content-rich page. Users have a reason to be looking at it and to be looking for an extended period of time.

Most of that rich content is obstructed by them bloody cookie warnings, on first visit. That’s not a very convincing simulation of “I’ve been looking at this page for the last 5 mins!”

They keep announcing "design improvements" but whenever I check all I see is an ugly, dated UI I just can't consider serious. Can't be.

Upgrading the UI from year 2000 and improving the UX would incite me to consider Zulip as a potential alternative.

Bashing a competitor in a blog post does not.

Your post reads to me as if you thought all users shared the same exact needs as you do

That’d be quite an ignorant POV to take on IMO

Because it’s incomplete and unstable

OK, but am I the only one finding Kagi "super" slow comparing to other search engines? It takes like a good full second to load the results…

It really doesn't.

In my experience Swiftfin on ATV is at least ten years behind Plex in terms of functionality, reliability, codec support, UI polish and overall UX.

Sorry, I'm being serious, what's the "polished" part referring to?

I've checked Zulip out a few weeks back and it's just the same outdated, quirky look and feel.
