That's how it effectively works in most of the Western world. The head of state usually issue pardons but on advise of the government (especially in countries where the head of state is not the head of government) or an independent comission.

In a prop that appears in several episodes and was carefully placed each time.

It's clearly intended to be an obscure Easter Egg and not a big plot point, but regularly displaying that exact book is not accidental.

They will respect your choice, ignoring it would be a stupid risk when they have a loophole so obvious they are open about it. Even if you opt out, any content about you shared by someone that didn't will be used to train their models.

Rejecting cookies without asking every time requires a cookie and that is clearly legitimate interest. The problem with legitimate interest is that it's not well defined enough and then you have companies claiming that Adsense personalization is an absolute necessity for their website.

That's a big leap considering the article mentions this is about his position on an ongoing ethnic cleansing and not about his religious views - though I suspect his religious views are colouring how he views the acceptability of crimes against humanity when targeting some groups.

I have very little sympathy for religion in public spaces but I've even less for pro-genocide people.
