You can't regulate away exchanges for the same reason you can't regulate away black markets.
If you wanna buy say transitioning medicine in russia, you wanna use Monero for anonymity, and you exchange it through a "p2p exchange". Which are what formed after many countries banned Monero entirely. "p2p exchange" is just a protocol where you can "trade" with random joe schmo, but insured. So you end up just wiring some random regular person money and they give you Monero. Or on the inverse you get wired money and give someone your Monero.

I.e. you exchange Monero with random people without any exchange. Good look regulating that.

Sweden is indeed de-facto opting out by not meeting the stability threshold on purpose, but the others simply don't qualify.
Waiting to fall into the criteria naturally is how it's intended, not wanting to artificially accelerate it is the correct move in my (and apparently their) opinion, I don't see anything about them still planning to avoid it when they meet the economic targets.

Right now they seem to simply say "don't do what greece did".

If you have a million stolen licenses, but on the road remain very few, say 1k. While there are say 100m other cars. If you now have 99% accuracy, you will read 990 stolen cars, and misread 1m plates. Since 1% of plates are stolen, you randomly hit 10k of those misreads into a stolen plate.

This is generally alwayd an issue with rolling out mass tests. If the thing you search is even rarer than your failure rate, most detections are errors no matter how good your test.

This is why we don't just test everyone for diseases all the time even when it would be very cheap and simple.

To be fair I can't see if someone came from canvas or elsewhere. It's not like I added a /canvas that redirects to / and makes it unique.

I get ~5-30k external page loads a day (realistically probably 95% ai crawlers). There's no way I can filter out a few people from canvas in that.

Sega doesn't want to preserve the ownership of their ip, they were bought by a gambling company who took on their name and is using sega as a public relations shield.
Their aim is to keep sega in high public esteem.

Meanwhile Nintendos ip is extremely valuable compared to the size of their company, so their aim is to protect ownership way more than making new games or other ongoing business.

International ip law is weird, so letting fanmade games go runs a risk of loosing ip. For Nintendo that is even more dangerous than for other studios whose ip value compared to revenue is not as extreme. While for sega ultimately loosing ip control is basically the point of the investment.

People would do that? Go on the internet and tell lies?

The snipping tool looks very similar to the gardening scissors I've seen, which there must be endless product images of. It's also a focus of the image, so the creator will probably have made sure it looks correct and might have given specific instructions for that part.

I've tried reverse searching the image and it appears to only exist on a recent facebook post. No gallery, historic site, ...

The reverse search should have been able to find a non-upscaled version too if that had been it.
