Anything relating to Brussels, Belgium.

And by extension, Belgium, because anything that applies to Belgium as a whole also applies to Brussels. Unlike r/Brussels, m/Brussels is open to criticism and will not censor posts for exposing negative aspects of Brussels.

Somewhat relevant but not recommended: europe on feddit.org. They are quick to censor posts even when rules are not broken, and if you post from mbin (not Lemmy) your content is lost and irrecoverable.

Rules

Be civil.

Belgium blocks Tor users from accessing legal statutes on privacy protection law (web.archive.org)

The linked page is accessible to everyone because a US-based NGO has mirrored Belgian law and made it accessible to all people. But attempts to directly visit www.ejustice.just.fgov.be is blocked if you are on the Tor network. The packets are silently dropped making it look as if the website is offline; so the Tor community is not informed that there’s actually a block in place preventing them from reading the law.

Ironically, the Belgian DPA also pubishes the privacy law but DPA’s website also block Tor in the same undignified way.
