Finland: I'm literally the last tier of technical support at work, and I've volunteered for it. If I am called up outside my normal working hours, I immediately get 1ยฝ ร— pay, if during the weekend, 2 ร— pay. Plus extra free hours to compensate for the lost downtime. I've only once been activated like this, and it indeed was a case where I was needed.

If you've eaten field rations even in one of the peacetime armies, you know how constipated they can make you. Now imagine what the Russian field ration like is after years of war.

Though, unless the priest pre-blessed all the wine and the wafers, they're not Jesus.
Yes, it makes no sense in any case.

But who would sell their old forgotten account voluntarily, hacks are still needed.

I'm pretty sure they are doing some kind of account password hacks, since the clear bots I've lately seen have been several years old accounts that have had their content wiped, and have only started posting nondescript comments within a month or so.

As pointed out by others, technically not, but of course there is the corrective option which will follow the intent of the law.

I am tempted to ask what brain?

I would say, find out a way to send out anonymous warnings of what will happen. Then go for the top four evildoers, one a day, with more anonymous publicity each day. At this point, your publicity should be top of every newscast on the planet. After the four are gone, issue a warning to the remainder ("you know who you are") saying unless they do better you will continue. If anyone still steps out of line, use the fifth option, again with publicity.

I was walking here in Helsinki, Finland on the waterfront in the middle of the night, and I heard a sound I didn't immediately recognize, but instinctively knew meant danger. Hair on the back of my neck stood up. Only a bit later did I realize that what I'd heard was #lion sounds like this carried over the water from the nearby Korkeasaari Zoo island.
