So could you ice skate on the ice? Yes, but only if there's no snow on the ice. In addition, there are rougher patches of packed ice that can't be skated. The shipping lanes also pose a challenge since you need a way to cross them safely. This is definitely something that should not be attempted unless you know exactly what you're doing.Couple of guys tour skated from mainland Finland to Åland islands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r16NdjXhTHwFinally, a word of warning: Avoid traversing the ice unless you know for sure where the safe routes are. The ice can be much thinner near drainages, near currents, under bridges, near shipping lanes, etc. Here are a bunch of safety tips: https://www.luontoon.fi/en/articles/safely-on-the-ice#tourskating #adventure

@andrew @privacyguides Yes they can.However:1. The US Privacy Act applies only to US citizens only. Anyone else is automatically free for all. US intelligence agencies happily exercise this right and collect and disseminate all information of non-citizens.2. I trust Finnish authorities more than US ones, especially the current US administration. It wasn't great before either, but now the rights bestowed to them are being abused to cater for any whims of the deranged leader. The current administration has house, senate and the supreme court. There's absolutely no recourse or any legal avenue in case of abuse, even for US citizens, and definitely not for anyone who is non-citizen.So yeah, not the same thing from my perspective.

@harrysintonen Seems like the first one could be his!!!

@harrysintonen If govts can no longer be trusted to regulate tech companies then self-regulation becomes the norm I suppose.If services had insisted on all of these additional requirements at the outset then no one would have signed up.

@harrysintonen From an European point of view, the blocking of the account seems like an extreme step. We are not used to this kind of treatment but proved the inititives point why its needed.

@harrysintonen And still no indication of what MDM platform was compromised.
