Weasel words. "Running additional security checks" is certainly going to mean the UI checks, not anything on the backend.

Cookie banners happened because US devs didn't steelman EU regs. Petty territorial behavior. This looks like someone trying not to learn their lesson.

EU sites have the same amount of cookie banners as US ones. (ie, all major sites have one)

FIFA games are pretty mainstream and have had them since the 90s sometime. I think the first one I played was 97 and it definitely had real ads in it.

Real ads but not ads that are loaded from the internet.

What you are saying is false, and on top of that, you can install a 3rd party browser on iOS and choose whatever search engine you want.

>Average Joe does not care about global warming when purchasing a car

Don't know why you're being down voted for saying the truth. It's not your own opinion but it's still the wider truth no matter how uncomfortable it is.

Most consumers don't care about the environment when they buy something and businesses care even less about the environment.

I don't see how it is uncomfortable. It would make me more uncomfortable if the anti-private transportation campaign started by the government and the media was working on the average Joe.

It will take a while to realize all they're watching is ads. Arguably influencers were ads too, but they were still humans acting and reacting. Now you get full ad experience end-to-end just in shape of a human, where real humans will be skipped.

Do you think those influencers spend a single second reading the comments/private messages wankers send them? Unless they pay of course.

Boys clubs give seats to some incompetent boys just because they are "boys". It follows that there would be a smaller amount of incompetent people if it was not a boys club.

You shouldn't thank boys clubs if you enjoyed those games - there could have been more, better games.

Non-boys clubs give seats to incompetent workers to increase percentages in a report. Boys clubs can hire whoever is more capable with no regard to those percentages.

It does affect the average Joe, because Joe is buying the products or services the private organisation creates. If Walmart, to pick a random example, has this phenomenon and spends extra money wastefully at the end of their financial cycle, that would mean that every product Walmart sells has to cost a bit more to pay for that, and Joe's monthly grocery bill goes up.

Thankfully Joe has many other options than Walmart. But you only get one government.
