Temporarily limit the size of data fields at the consensus level, in order to correct distorted incentives caused by standardizing support for arbitrary data, and to refocus priorities on improving Bitcoin as money.
Again, assuming separation of powers: In a democracy, ministries are part of the executive branch. Their role is to follow and implement the law, not to judge violations.
If a law is violated, then a judge, and not a ministry, should be the one to enforce it.
When an administrative body blocks access to a service without prior judicial oversight, it blurs the line between the executive and the judiciary. And since separation of powers is a key component of any democracy, this raises legitimate concerns about the quality of democratic checks and balances.
Just to be clear: I’m not arguing that unlicensed online gambling sites should remain accessible. The issue is how the restriction is carried out, and whether it respects democratic principles and institutional roles.

Why a ministry has the authority to do so?
What I don't like about my country, and the whole UE, is the lack of democracy. And this is a good example.
A democracy needs to have real separations of powers. The legislative body creates a law, and the judiciary, based on that law, will decide on banning or not the online gambling site.
A ministry belongs to the executive branch of the Estate. It is not up to them to decide whether something is illegal or not.

"Alzheimer’s disease is a condition of the elderly, and they’re on their way out anyway." That's a such a protestant way of thinking. It contrasts very much with the catholic culture of southern Europe.
I am not saying that is better or worse, but I think it is a very clear example of how different the culture is across the UE. One key aspect is how to look after your elders.
I wonder what the z8000 and vax commands do. I can imagine the first is related to the 16bit Zilog processor and the second to the vax OS, but no idea how to use them or what are they for.
I always found interesting that you can bet on Polymarket whether Jesus Christ will come back before 2027 or not.
At the moment, you can bet $96.20 to win $100 that he won't.
Well, the doctor, the drugs and everything else needed for the procedure is covered by the health system. I would argue that is indeed helping to end one's live.
