> Honestly is it any less "baked in" than the pre-eminent Western powers?

Because it's _less_ "baked-in". Germany just recognized their part in a genocide, China has yet to acknowledge the Tiananmen massacre.

As someone who doesn't work in advertising but is insterested in the space, I find your comment interesting but it doesn't help you are not providing much data for your hot take either. You mention Kickstarter, but looking at the list of crowdfunded projects, most of the successful ones were quite a while ago, if anything the most recent ones looks like scammy crypto coins, which would suggest advertising works rather for bad projects, a net negative.

> Just off the top of my head: - 2001 raid on Armando Diaz.

That's 20 years ago, if there is widespread abuse, you'd have something in mind more recent.

> Personally I don’t understand why violent horror as a genre exists, and literally cannot empathise with people who enjoy it.

> How do you understand something like 'withdraw, with conversion' or 'withdraw, let your bank handle the conversion', without language? Is there an obvious image or button shape that'd signify this without prior knowledge?

Let's say you're in Europe and and have a card in dollars:

[] 1000€ (1€/1.2$ -> 1200$)

So we should throw away public spending because people can't be bothered to check on their politicians once in a while?

But what if something important but unseen is broken? You can't look for that and it's dangerous

> As far as I know, I can't personally sue these companies for this, and if the ICO does nothing then what's the law is meaningless.

Couldn't you sue ICO then?

I think the OP is referring to negative studies involving cannabis that receives funding from opposing groups. Alternatively, you have all the suspect studies describing miraculous plant properties paid by food company that put them in yogurt or health supplements.

> The reason it's important is because it would be the end of the gaming console model if they were forced to accept anything onto their app stores. Which would have pretty broad implications.

Which implications precisely? Because consoles not being sold at a loss seem like a positive outcome.
