Did at anypoint the article mention that the snippets of conversation this whistle blower heard came from opted out or opted in to sending data?

reporting is pointless

I have reported these ads before as misleading or scams, the ones with Martin Lewis especially, have been reported maybe 10 or more times.

Facebooks reply "Thank you for reporting this advert, but we have chacked and it does not violate our community standards. If you like you can hide ads of this type."

yeh great cheers just means that the next one is exactly the same advert but for a different website.

So whats new?

that you can give a detailed report when you report it as misleading or a scam, but if they still dont do anything whats the point?

Wierd you say you have issues, I am on the inw 10 insider program andMy MSI Laptop has never had any issues with ASIO4ALL when used in Traktor 2 and 3, Soundforge, Cubase, Ableton and others. Its way mre stable than it ever was running Win 7, even on the current skip ahead 20H1 bulds.

Or the Sports Direct method, apart from Nike, Adidas Mr Ashleys busineesses oqn or havs controliong stake in nearly all the brands they sell, so when they have a pair of Hiking Boots from one of their "Brands" (usually a big name well know, but now owned by SD) they can show them as MSRP £99, Our price £20.

Now you think your getting a bargain £99 pound pair of boots for £20 but what your getting is a something that the brand in its heyday (at current prices) wouldnt sully itself with selling, or would charge maybe a tennr for.

But as it is not a Sale, its not covered by thouse rules.

See Karrimor, Everlast, Slazenger, Dunlop, Airwalk and others.

Banned not so much

According to this http://kotaku.com/5275409/rape-games-officially-banned-in-japan

The pertinent line is

What kind of changes can we expect? Ero game maker Syrup Soft is delaying its upcoming game Gang raped by the entire village ~girls covered in milky liquid~ to re-moniker it The trap set by the entire village ~bodies covered in milky liquid~. So, yeah, expect more creative ways of masking rape and rape iconography as well as possibly more "amateur" or unlicensed games. Then there's always the rape pornography and rape comic books that will most likely continue, business as usual.

With all the same content just no wRape mentioned in the title.

So no change there then
