I was surprised it was legal in the EU when Instagram started doing it. I promptly deleted it right after.

It's not, corporations' bad faith interpretation of the law doesn't make it legal.

Brexit is when England thinks colonies are better off because they're independent, when the truth is that they're England - free.

The equivalent is England leaving great Britain, with the consequence that Ireland unifies and Scotland does what it wants 🤣🤣🤣🤣
