Yeah, but farming in general is different in Austria, just look at the rates of e.g. cage eggs in the US, where 95% are caged. Plus even in Austria you have to watch out, a lot of the cheaper meat is from large German farms with similar con

I thought Telegram was sending messages encrypted (though not E2E) per default?

This is not about personal "pleasure in the physical appearance", but about the culture where using Playboy photos in a professional cobtext doesn't raise any eyebrows.

How is it reasonable that "this line that you will not cross" is pornography and not "an app that tracks and controls Saudi Arabian women"?

Where are warm lunches for schools typical/expected? Have never seen them "properly".

Learning about the gods of old greece and their stories is still part of the curriculum in a lot of European countries. I doubt most would think of the Moon Landing first.

The bus stops are for the surroundings of Krumbach, which probably means about one per village. I doubt it will be hard to discover them, especially because there are still signs for the buses there.

Are there no other options? I get that it's difficult if you want international payments, but surely for inter-American payments enough other options are available? (Genuinely curious)

>Should Facebook provide this without redaction of the recipients' identities? I'd say no, providing this data without that redaction is a violation of the recipients' privacy. How is it a violation of privacy to tell a us

It's a rather small company, but it's in the top 20 Websites worldwide, top 10 in the US.

Deutsche Bank and especially VW are already targeted by the US. Just compare the fines for VW in Europe and the US.

Most of the Japan railway system was built by the state and privatized later.

Yeah, but if without the enabler the world would be better off on net, there still is a case against WhatsApp.
