  Re: 'You are allowed to wear a mask only after you put on your name-tag.'

  By allowing the "feasibility" argument you've already lost. It doesn't matter if it's feasible because it's a bad fucking idea either way. That's a pure distraction.

  If you "find" what you're looking for then you "searched" for it. It's sad that their English is good enough to write rules about that, but not good enough to read them.

  b) if every platform has the right to deny service, you have no right to a platform.
