vastly expands the pool of potential victims

I'm not brave enough at the moment to say it isn't some kind of crime, but creating such images (as opposed to spamming them everywhere, using them for blackmail, or whatever) doesn't seem to be a crime that involves any victims.

Not sure if it's from an alternate universe or from our own future, but somewhere there is a version of this article that's like "Today, the market for Mastodon alternatives is a crowded one to say the least. There are numerous services for consumers to try, including the open-source based Misskey, smaller startups like Pleroma, plus the Elon Musk-based product formerly known as Twitter."

No matter how good it is, and I'm hoping for the best, it will definitely be over-hyped.

For a moment there I was wondering why the Girl Guides would object to the secularism policy of the Santa Claus Parade.

It sounds like pretty close to the same thing except for the "if you intend to monetize it" part which is a very big difference. But I don't think Twitch or Youtube or the other platforms where significant money can be made have any support for anonymous payment methods, so that situation is not so different in Germany compared to the rest of the world (outside of China and places like that.)

Well, that marks the first time I've seen anyone refer to it as "the apt store." Thanks, I hate it.

13% may not sound like a lot, but it includes almost all of the 10% who weren't complete idiots.

It seems like a coordinated effort

It's nice to see this getting noticed for once in mainstream mass media.

I tried to submit it to addons.mozilla.org but they didn’t accept it.

It sort of looks as if they did accept it. If they were hesitant, perhaps it has something to do with the description suggesting that it's a broken and pointless temporary kludge, as well as calling Firefox "removed", and the ridiculously irrelevant screenshot.

I didn't realise it was that easy to build a simple firefox extension like that. Maybe I'll modify it to disable the whole clipboard api and some other stuff.
