2·2 years agoI don’t speak this language and have no idea of this culture, but as always we must be careful as any literal translation from one language into another often conveys a different meaning, even when the words are the same.
Among others, the Tourism New Zealand website says about the haka and its origin:
Today, haka is used as a sign of respect and is performed on important occasions, such as sporting events, weddings, funerals, and powhiri (a traditional welcome).

Italian Blocking Demands: Following a Bad Example
While [Quad9’s] case in Germany has been found in favor of Quad9, we have been served with another demand from commercial interests in an EU nation to block domain names, again based on alleged copyright violations. Italian legal representatives have presented us with a list of domains and a demand for blocking those domains.

The Czech National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NÚKIB) has today warned Czechs against downloading the Chinese video application TikTok. It has labeled the app a “security threat” and said the public should “think twice” before using it.
Danish public broadcaster advises staff against using TikTok
As @onion@feddit.de already said, I cross-posted the article from an Italian-speaking community and didn’t change the link as I noticed that the petition is in English anyway. But it’s perfectly right that there should be correct language setting. I changed the link now. My apologies for the irritation.
