Consumer rights association FACUA welcomed the announcement, saying it allowed people to “undertake measures in defence of their honour”.

Jesus what a cringy comment
It’s the latest alt of Lemmy’s longest-term persistent troll, just disregard. They’ve got nothing better to do, and everything they post is basically what they say to themselves in the mirror every morning.
