That one about misleading customers with the blue check mark is dead to rights. We all saw that, while that system is somewhat normalised now, that did cause chaos when it was introduced. It’s just only now after an investigation that the EU has decided the consequences for it.

How is the health board story not the bigger story??

“Stole Christmas” from people who own literal mansions xD
