YouTubexit?

[Ametsala]

Funny how people complain about lobbyists while lobbying FaceGoogle's agenda...

[scriver]

It’s rather ironic that I’m defending the thing, given that YouTube vacating Europe would be a great thing in my eyes.

EU =/ Europe, mate

[smjjames]

They’d have to actually let something grow big enough under the EU system to compete with YouTube or something.

I just want less global tech conglomerates.

And I want less copyright.

Funny how we always get more copyright. Every. Damn. Time.

Isn’t YouTube in and of itself a nonprofit platform? Yes, people can make money using it, but the platform itself is free.

Kind of sounds like YouTube’s problem solved itself, it’s nonprofit and therefore not liable. I’ve heard that the provisions are vague (legally) as all hell, so....

[da_nang]

It's not more copyright- it's the same copyright. Just, y'know, actually trying to enforce it for once.

Which in effect, is more copyright.

I think you're mixing up a nonprofit entity with an entity that makes no profit.
There have been a lot of articles to suggest that YouTube is the latter

You're probably right, yeah

Theresa May says that she'll step down before the next phase of the Brexit proccess. During the summer, possibly earlier.

The Guardian liveblog link.

Reactions to that are past the linked posts on both liveblogs.

I suppose it'll be for the best that she is stepping down voluntarily rather than forced out in some intra-party civil war.

Every. Single. Indicator. Vote. Got. Voted. Down.. O.o How.... just how does this happen? I'm a mix of O.o and WTF here, lol.

Since they don't want any of them, that kind of leaves the only option to either pull the plug (revoke article 50) or commit economic seppuku (Brexit crash through). Or maybe let the Queen decide if they're so helpless? I mean, Queen Elizabeth has gotta be seriously facepalming here.

Speaking of Liz, things are gonna get real dicey if she decides to abandon her mortal shell at any point from now to resolving the Brexit crisis, which according to my data should happen around...June 12th, 2130.

[smjjames]

Dicey how? Not like there'd be a succession crisis (which looks secure for the foreseeable future). There would of course be the deep mourning after losing someone of her (political and cultural) stature and moving on since she's been Queen for so long, but I don't see that as being dicey.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Loss of confidence and probably real questions from the left about maintaining the monarchy. Liz is above reproach, even when she sits in a golden room and reads out a speech telling British people to tighten their belts. Her descendants....not quite so revered.

It's be a significant stressor on the already stressful Brexit ceaseless nightmare universe.

[smjjames]

True, but that's a separate bridge that is going to be crossed regardless when the time comes.

Don't know about Charles, but William (and Harry I think) seems to be aiming to remake the British Monarchy/Royalty into a new image for the 21st century. If anybody is going to be remaking the monarchy into a new era, it's going to be William as it's making a huge generational jump.
