You’re being pedantic. The point was the progressive tax based on income, not which country does it. Funny enough, I found some online examples of Norway using that for the worst traffic offences, and though I remembered that from when I visited. But if you live there I assume you are more correct than the few online sources. The “either way” was meant to say that the example country does not matter when providing an example of a good idea.

Either way

The GDPR laid out ways of fining that can impact large companies. It uses a percentage of revenue. Similar to how Norway uses % of a person’s income for traffic violations. It is possible to use methods like these to level the playing field. That is, if there’s an appetite for fairness.

The only security and privacy settings for apps are what the operating system offers. Because you are voluntarily installing the app there’s a certain amount of assumed trust. Many apps abuse that trust and do things the user never really agreed to. Especially around tracking. Browsers also have to comply with the opening system security, but because the websites you visited are rarely fully trusted they tend to guard privacy and security better. And many people use browser extensions to enhance their security.

“What about YouTube? Just use the web version?” Web versions are almost always more secure than the mobile app version of any app. The browser provides more security enforcement than app security.

One of the other networks should sue.

No, the more bad ass Ben Franklin.

They’re called Trump Administration staffers.

Rewriting history is definitely a sign of fascism.

If only there was something the president could do to fix this. /s

Except that the power grid doesn’t work that way.

Xi is probably donating a few million to Rump in exchange for favorable China policies. Rump is easily bought at the expense of the US.

This will absolutely fuck a bunch of people that Beijing doesn’t care about.

And here we are talking about the letter. In this instance, no news is bad news.
