    Eh, I can see how that might work under EU law. So I suppose there’s a potential for it to be illegal in the EU then.

    Though I do question the extent that could reach, since “left leaning lesbians looking for work only browser” could be the user agent if someone was so inclined. Admittedly though, that’s outside the scope of this argument.
