No. Google did it this way so people would blame the EU. They also could just have added more choice to the interface but they rather wanted to remove it to show their users “how bad the EU is”.

Same thing with the cookie banners. EU said you should give your users the choice if they want to be tracked. And the companies build these ugly banners so everyone would blame the EU. But they could also just have stopped tracking their users.

Talking bullshit seems to pay very good

It’s nice that you view it differently, but open source has a clear definition. And with this change it will not use a Open Source license anymore.

What would you say makes threads better than the other mikroblogging services?

They are banning emulators but are then using them themselves. They are banning roms but are then using those same roms themselves.
