    “XVideos, which has the same owner as XNXX, recorded 31 million average monthly users in the EU, a drop from 84 million users in August.” If different sites have the “same owner”, then maybe their numbers should be combined. Otherwise they could just branch their platforms across different brands to get around the rules.

                Naja, inzwischen könnte ich auch direkt die Donnerrate, Panzergadse und den stillen (letsu) bequatschen, wenn ich wieder zu was aufrufe.

                Wär ja lustig, wenn die Schweizer der Weidel jetzt gleichtun, was Nazis gerne mit den Unterkünften von Flüchtlingen machen: ******** die Nazischlampe (also das Haus, nicht die selber)
