A direct debit is a contractual agreement, they have zero access to the bank account, just the unique identification number and an automated system that requests money from that unique identifier once per month.

And that if there’s no money in the account, they don’t take you into credit, but instead just pause service until you pay

The ability to pay money for your contract?

Edit: they only ask for that if on Contract, if pay-as-you-go they ask for no details at all

Wait, they ask for your details when setting up a phone in America?

I thought y’all lived in the land of the free!

There’s Bookmakers, who are professionals responsible for estimating likelihood of events using maths

But they can become corrupted, or simply told “you’re not allowed to accept bets on this subject, ever, or lose your license”

It’s close enough geographically that I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an attempt to FREEDOM them into being the 51st State

Everyone knows it but you, seemingly

It intentionally got buried in legal, it’s likely going to take 10 years and end up as a settlement out of court

Sadly, a lot of the internet is hosted in America, so anything that fucks them will fuck us

LLM and GenAI, you dingus.

This stinks of whataboutism, giving examples that incredibly obviously won’t be included

I’m just saying, priorities, one won’t affect you in the slightest, the other is a World Leader.

A: mega Hitler might be in the Epstein list

B: yeah but never mind that, we need to know about Trevor, 42, from Ipswich

So, which politicians are suddenly surprisingly wealthier for no apparent reason?

Totally not an illegal backroom deal somewhere

Linux!

To use windows at all.

Join the Linux revolution!

Give us the details on Trump, not some overrated writer
