I love it. Do we have a malicious compliance community on lemmy?
No idea. Original post was deleted because “not an article”. I can’t even see old version to not go through a pain of typing post body again.
There’s !maliciouscompliance@lemmy.world, but it looks like it’s not very active anymore.
Here’s link to short version in English written by author.
And article translation to Russian.
Can we get this formally defined in law as willful destruction of property. No exceptions.
Fuck, the Reddit mods did migrate to here. Fuck that mod. Also, Poland needs a good lawyer.
I heard they sold some trains to Italy. And italian financial police is not afraid to arrest Putin’s yacht.
Social media posts are not allowed on most lemmy communities.
I can’t imagine a scenario where NEWAG isn’t blackballed from all future EU contracts for pulling this stunt.
