Thinking of Jürgen Möllemann, who was forced to demission as German minister of economy (and vice-chancellor) in 1993 for advertising for a shopping cart token using his ministry’s letterhead.
Tempi passati.
This was definitely NOT on my bingo card for this year:
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen taking a moment between G7 meetings to promote the launch of the closed-source, for-profit network #WSocial.
I fear this may be a harbinger of things to come: MANDATORY AGE VERIFICATION for social media across Europe. I hope I'm wrong on this.
