Firefox will most likely support this, if it doesn’t want to get cut off from most of the web.

well, if more people used Firefox websites couldn't just throw them under the bus, which is why I said it's so important.
We'll have to see, but I'd hope Firefox puts up at least some resistance.

depends how the loans worked.
I was assuming his majority shares of X (ex Twitter) collateral.
And that that he could just go "yeah, go on, collect on your collateral, I don't mind", because it's not worth anything anymore.

But admittedly I have no Idea how the contracts were drawn up, if this is possible and if his other money would be available to collect on.

Several players have said they’ll exit the UK rather than exit encryption.

rightly so.

I'd assume any worldwide player couldn't be caught in compliance with this, as long as alternatives exist that don't.
This might have been enough to push EU people away from WhatsApp for example.

I mean, imagine if non-british companies just went "well, no encryption for you, then."

And disabled TLS too.

Online Banking would probably just have to... stop.
And a lot of other pages wouldn't load on most browsers requiring https

They are not donating, if I remember correctly fairly recently Microsoft outbid them and bing was default for a bit.

But maybe I'm not remembering correctly tbh.

Depends.

If he thinks Twitter is irreperably dying, this may be a way, in which he can get out of repaying the loans he used to (partially) fund the buyout of twitter.

yeah, well, even the @twitter account now has the X logo.

Nitter Link of twitter account, showing X Logo

x.com redirects to twitter.com as well.

Wonder if Businesses will replace the twitter logo in their windows as well.

With Ukraine being a breadbasked, I wonder how many fields are unusable.
probably lots. That sucks for a lot of people.

That would seem like something where the TOS can fuck you over, depending on where you live and the strength of consumer protections there.

I would not at all be surprised if Ubisoft would be allowed to completely delete accounts in several "first world" countries.

And of course, even if you're technically legally protected, getting that right in a court against ubisoft

This is why we need Firefox.

And Firefox needs to be a market that can't be ignored.

exciting!

not useful yet, but give it a few years, and it may just be grand.

my understanding was that you could only use the xInput configuration with the dongle, and the wii-configuration with bluetooth
