In France voting day is always a Sunday to prevent issues like this. It seems very anti-democratic to not make sure that almost all the voting population can find the time for it.

The only people terrorised by property damage are rich assholes... So makes sense that the definition widened.

Isn't Black Mirror a manual at this point?

Not voting when the stakes are this high is as shitty as voting for Trump. Plus approval statistics don't care if you voted or not.

If anything, more than half of Americans suck at this point.

Yes, but the company could still keep the data somewhere.

That's rough. I honestly couldn't do that.

2.5 hours is wild. You spent 5 hours a day commuting?

So you're forgetting all the instances where american companies have been forced to paid fines again and again for breaching EU law, and base your opinion on one recent event?

Hmm. Naive isn't the word, no.

I don't think so. The EU is pretty good at maintaining fair competition, especially against American companies.

Yeah, but I'd rather have the option of a government one than yet another rando company with my sensitive data :)

Well then the site uses a different system that complies with regulations. I don't see this as a problem, it doesn't have to be the only service that can verify your age.

Honestly, I'd rather see official governmental third parties that handle ID verification and guarantee to discord and any service needing age verification that the user is over the required age. Not comfortable with sharing any sort of verifying data with private companies, even less american companies. I have to for some stuff, but... Not liking it one bit.

There is already a few countries here in Europe with an official governmental identity verification system, and I'm pretty sure age verification can be done through them. I think the EU is also working on a system covering the entirety of Europe, but not certain.
