It's quite easy to get rid of all that crap: just come living in the EU
It may not be a scam per se, but it certainly is a misnomer at this point... it's one of those words (like "enterprise" or "pro") that have been appropriated by marketing and devoided of any meaning. AI as a word will gradually die while people gradually realize it doesn't mean anything. Marketing consumes words (and people too).
To be fair: previous generations of police officers, back when most people used phones, have made extensive use of wiretapping (and current policemen still do, of course).
Makes perfect sense to me (not a lawyer, not a US person)... what doesn't make sense is how many people still think biometric is high security (maybe because of how cool they make it look in the movies?)
linux rules because it's the only os built for its users rather than some company stocks
Move to the EU :)
I use firefox on arch, btw
Absolutely! /s
TBH, the mods should change the sidebar from "News from around the world!" to something like "News that have international relevance".... otherwise we can't really scold people who post curiosity stories.
your pro-consumer laws
Don't those actually come from the EU?
Don't you mean a markdown editor?
Chances are, your favorite text editor can handle markdown well enough... unless you want WYSIWYG, in which case your text editor would still be good enough for the job and you would be wrong :-)
The US have not signed the 2008 Convention on Cluster Munitions, while Canada and most (all?) other western states have (Russia has not, BTW).
The peculiar stance of the US on this matter should not surprise since there are lots of international treaties that the US have not signed or ratified, including some that one might expect any "decent" nation to uphold [my opinion, of course], such as bans on anti-personnel mines and torture, the Kyoto protocol and many, many others treaties.
Notably, the US are the only nation that has yet to ratify the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child... 'nough said.

That's catchy, but not entirely true.
China heavily subsidizes EV manufacturers (and production in general), plus they have cheaper environmental and labour standards... it's not like there's a fair market EU companies can compete in without some sort of handicap.
PS: Yes, "western" countries have been playing along with China's deliberate long term strategy with full awareness of where it would lead, but that's another story that is both much older and has a much broader scope than the EV industry.
