NO. You changed the text to tell the user what you were doing; then you did it without any consent.

As the UK updates its .eu Brexit advice yet again, an alternative hovers into view

About to join the queue

My grandparents were Irish and after seeing the new passport this morning plus the fact that crashing out is pretty certain now (Jacob Rees-Mogg and crew are trying to make certain of that); I truly feel it's time to move on. It's such a shame to the UK that we've reached this point. I just hope the true motivations of the money men who have pushed us to this point become public one day.

Re: It's amazing how it sticks

I had no time for the papers or the buses. My opinions were based on history and the troubled world we're plummeting towards. Did you read Trumps son's piece today? If you don't have a hot water bottle I recommend it to keep you warm tonight.

Re: It's amazing how it sticks

Not at all. Unlike many I haven't fallen out with them over their decision, it was their decision. I'm just glad they and you were not responsible for negotiating international trade deals. But there's the rub, and the irony.

Re: It's amazing how it sticks

In my case a symptom of being dislesek, have an upvote and a bear. ;)

It's amazing how it sticks

My family voted to leave, knowing their backgrounds (pretty damn well) it made no sense to me but the shit these people threw around stuck. Even now when I talk to them, despite what has become apparent, they still want out. No mater what aspect we talk about, pretty much all their arguments came off the side of a bus; despite the reality being laid bear with only a few days to go they cling on to the great trade deals that will come and being a great power again. and maddest of all the fallacy that the problems will vanish with the immigrants. Right from the start it was easy to identify which side was project FEAR

In a humiliating climbdown, Facebook agrees to follow US laws

not quite the point

Traditional advertising was also targeted, but in the same way you can aim a shot gun over a sniper rifle. Mercedes would advertise in the Times, not the Holbeck Advertiser. What you have here is the extreme missus of personal data to actively break discrimination laws.

Re: Why would they do anything?

Most of them actually see it as there god given right and it seems that it's getting worse. I recently had two shops try to get personal details from me, for a cheap pair of shoes and an over the counter medicine (anti stink foot powder). Both times they were shocked at my refusal, both times I explained they had no legal right to take my details and were in fact breaking the law by doing so. While I got my cheapo shoes at the pharmacy the manager was called and after i explain the situation to her she threatened to call security to arest me. So this is what they want and most of the time get away with. Also the reason I have none of these points cards for the big chains
