I read Feddit.nu rules and couldn’t understand a word but we have credible intel that it’s just a cover for developing weapons of mass surströmming.

Nayara Energy Limited is an entity established in India and operating an important refinery in Vadinar. That refinery is 49% owned by the Russian State oil company Rosneft, and is a major refiner of Russian crude oil. The energy sector, in particular the oil sector, is a sector providing substantial revenue to the Russian Government.

Therefore, Nayara Energy is involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.

Microsoft doing the right thing here. If you don’t want to worry about consequences of sanctions don’t use services from companies subject to jurisdiction of countries that sanction you.

On behalf of Sopuli.xyz I hereby declare war on Feddit.nu.

Sopuli.xyz, DEFCON 1 is now in effect.

Now, en garde, Feddit.nu.

This seems be to be an ad for a book?

Saudi Arabia has plenty of soft and hard power too. Possibly more so than UK. I think we’re getting overly dramatic. UK doesn’t have enough pull to start extraditing thousands of people for not complying with their weirdo laws.

No idea but in Europe copyright law doesn’t seem to be enforced as much against little guys but taxman will come for everyone. That YouTuber seems to be a grifter, collecting money for his defense while also making money off a Telegram shop. He knew he could make things up and people (and „journalists”!) would fall for it because Nintendo bad.

How would that even work in another country? Wouldn’t Saudi Arabia pressure hosts for breaking blasphemy laws?

I’m confused, why are non-UK instances banning UK users? Are their admins located in the UK? Is anyone afraid of being extradited to UK because of their local laws? Do you block Saudi Arabia too because you can’t guarantee blasphemy laws are going to be upholded?

He was selling them outright via Facebook / Telegram. I’ll speculate a little bit - it’s likely it wasn’t taxed which is why he was singled out.
