I suppose what I mean is that from a Government perspective, evidence points to all kinds of shit being forgivable if the platform is big enough.

Hell arguably, aside from replacing Digg, being the wild west of forums is what gave Reddit the volume of audience that would guarantee it the likes of Obama.

I know we're not on Reddit now but the final nail in the coffin that got us all here was API changes to Reddit killing third party clients, not it's history that came before that.

    This reminds me of how Obama posted his hugely popular AMA on Reddit within a year of all the news coverage of all the sick and gross subreddits (pics of dead kids, jailbait etc).

    Seems that if a site is big enough shit like this doesn't matter.

    If it's anything it'll probably be age verification at point of sale for the VPN for retail VPN providers. Pay with a credit card kinda deal. I know that's not ideal, hell none of it is, but I think it's how steam dealt with it and that worked OK.

    Personally i can't get onboard with aliens when the rest of the series is cemented in the religious supernatural. The two genres are mutually exclusive in my head.

    That said I do get that aliens are the pop culture thing in the timeframe where that film was set so the decision makes sense. Execution was just piss poor.

    I don't think the corporations see it as being brought to heel, generally speaking. It's like net neutrality; those who are already big will thrive because they can afford to implement the govs requirements while the littler guys can't afford it and will just pull out of the UK.

    At least what will be how it is while the government scrambles to unfuck themselves for the young persons vote in the next election.

    Eshop code from Amazon Japan is quite cheap compared to buying locally.

    I think the process for this would be moving my account over to Japan, which would also move his, redeeming the eshop code on his account , then switching region back to our local one.

    Have I understood that correctly?
