Time for the DSA and the DMA to be applied to reddit.
Fuck these tax heavens.
Sarcasm surely
If I’m not having a whoosh moment, the fact they have bases in Ireland and the Netherlands very much sounds like they’re operating a Double Irish Dutch Sandwich.
I’m banned from Reddit after wishing someone would get the death penalty for murdering a child.
Yeah, probably not the best opinion to express on Reddit, or most other sites for that matter. Even if I might happen to agree with you, that’s always gonna strike a nerve with quite a few people out there.

If anything, the Dutch will enforce more laws on them
Of course it has. It says everything you need to know
Maybe they should be investigated for all the child porn they used to host and the TD contributions to the riots
To this day, I still can’t believe how long Reddit defended underage porn subreddits. Literally do nothing and say “free speech” . Then suddenly a news article happens and then they finally take action.
It’s almost like spez cares more about money than any kind of moral grandstanding, which of course is super weird for a capitalist
Welkom in Nederland, moederneuker!
Vierenveertig vliegjen en een goudvis in de pinderkaas op de lul in een konijntjenaaimachine!

Ma naiers!
I miss 90’s techno-libertarian utopianism. A little naive in retrospect, but I’m holding out hope that it’ll still have some relevance going forward.
I wonder what they would do if a social platform based on IPFS got popular.
the utility of the nation/state has been broken by 21st century meta-national billionaires
unions are useful but they no longer cover the distance between labor and capital
we need a new group of collective shit to aspire to because humans gonna human
The Un doesn’t do it for you/us?
Lol
Lmao even
Sounds like another case of US tech companies fucking with the web of EU regulations to nobody’s benefit but their own.
It’s no wonder they moved to another tax haven. Sorry, sorry. The EU doesn’t have tax havens according to their own rules. Low tax threshold telegraphic jurisdictions.
Wait isn’t Ireland an EU tax haven?
The EU has a blacklist of tax havens around the world. And, according to the rules the EU decided, no EU member is a tax haven. 🙃

Apparently, according to that link, they did try to class Ireland and the Netherlands as “countries with traits of tax havens” but the recommendation hasn’t been implemented. Quelle suprise.
A censorship promoting platform flees censorship?
Time for the EU to rip him a new one :)
Idea: Governments maintain a list of entities that are evading the law like that, and then doesn’t prosecute people who are accused of crimes against such entities. The idea being that if you place yourself outside of the law’s reach, you also place yourself outside of the law’s protection.
That’s a bingo!
We just say bingo…
That’s a bingo…
The moved their jurisdiction to the Netherlands? In the EU? Wow. Now the GDPR can be used to really kick their butts.
GDPR applies regardless of where headquarters are located
There is always the issue of “x applies” and “x is enforcable”. Think of Signal or Telegram here.
Yes, but it’s easier to enforce EU regulations when the headquarters happens to be within the EU.
A move from Ireland to the Netherlands doesn’t really change much in that regard.
Aren’t there tax benefits to incorporating in Ireland? Conventional thought would suggest that the tax/regulatory environment in the Netherlands would be less attractive? Maybe that’s wrong… I wonder what their reasons for moving were. Is that where Steve Huffman wants to build his new doomsday bunker? Gotta spread out just in case. Maybe connect it to the one in CA with a massive underwater tunnel lol clown
Oh we got a bunch of leeches in Europe, Ireland is not the only one
They usually operate in tandem, a double dutch irish tax sandwich or whatever it is called.
It moved from Ireland to the Netherlands, both are in the EU. This will not change anything regarding GDPR.
They would be forced to delete all messages of all deleted users
What a weaselly thing to do
Shut up, Weasley!
Eat slugs, Malfoy!
I was going for a TNG reference. The HP reference was entirely unintentional, though may have been unconscious.
Should’ve been Wesley for TNG. Funny nonetheless. 😂
I never knew so many people lived there.
