  9. Most libraries have switched to cloud-based library systems that they don't control so it's not about libraries letting authorities access user data, it's about the private companies to which libraries have ceded their users' data. @ReadingDanger/1786840951928877286

  17. In Spain, any person can change their gender identity in the civil register without undergoing a two-year hormonal treatment or obtaining a medical diagnosis of gender dysphoria. It's fairly obvious what England need to do if they want to win a major men's tournament.
