It would be one of the largest ones accc has handed out?

If I recall, Telstra got a $10m fine once, and at the time that was largest ever.

Yeah just looked.

VW got $125m, Qantas $20m, abnb $15m, then this is 4th I think

The government is under pressure to ban gambling ads. History shows half-measures don’t work. in c/[email protected]

My fav metric from a study done a few years back is about how much Aussies spend per capita on gambling compared to everyone else.

The graph showing every country is a nice linear line as you would expect, up to the number 2 spot, which is the USA. They spend ~$415 per capita per year gambling. And that's with Vegas, sports betting, the lot.

Number 1 spot is Australia. $2450 per capita per year.

We spend more than the next 5 combined...

Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled in c/[email protected]

I have a hypothetical question on this.

If say, I had a crypto wallet via extension in chrome.

And unlock origin goes away.

I then visit a site I used to visit where pop ups were blocked

Malware gets installed. Crypto wallet gets drained.

Can I sue Google ?

I ask because I do have a tiny wallet that is via extension. Curious how someone with a much larger one on there would go...
