The risk is not so much Threads having access to our data, but thst Threads, with millions of users and teams of full time devs, becomes the standard, allowing Meta to control the development of the open source protocol, and browbeating everyone into using their instance/version/servers.

What a pointless question though. Obviously in the context 'Nazi' means what it means NOW.

'Peadophiles should be locked up' 'ah but what if the definition of Peadophile changes to incorporate anyone who has sex??'

In addition to the reply from the other chap, I'd point out that UEFA bought charges against city with absolutely no credible evidence and tried to ban them from competition. So I don't see how one could reach the conclusion that city bribed them?

What evidence do have for these well documented FFP failings?

You are correct, and the outcome of the hearing won't be known for a couple of years. However indications are that the PL is basing their charges on the Der Speigle documents (out of context, doctored emails stolen from MCFC and released by a convicteded fraudster and blackmailer). UEFA based their case on the same emails, and the CAS (European sporting appeal court) found that there was no veracity to them and no evidence of any wrong doing on MCFCs part, apart from non cooperation with UEFAs 'investigation'.

No they're not! They have the highest revenue in world football, and have one of the lowest 'net spends' (as useless as that metric is) of all the 'major teams' over the last 5 yrs. They are nowhere near failing FFP!

Gdpr relates to data that can be used to identify you. Your username and content associated with it is not identifiable,so they are free to share it. Plus you agree to the sharing of that data when you sign up. Anything thst explicity ties your username to identifiable information such as email, ip, other usernames etc is controlled by Gdpr.

The goal short term isn't to be profitable though. The goal is to pull enough users so they can effectively stunt the growth of 'competition'.

Ah but you see, the market will determine the real punishment, as informed consumers will now punish thames water by withdrawing their business (and forgoing drinking water, showers and laundry etc). This makes it all more efficient you see.
