As I understand it, the English and Arabic channels are very different editorially, with the latter being rather controversial and biased to the Muslim Brotherhood^1^. The English channel even wrote about the division themselves^2^.

This is something, in addition to that censorship exists in the west/everywhere (and arguably is favourable in certain forms), that should be kept in mind regarding Aljazeera. I must honestly say, I did not read more upon this, so feel free to correct or specify.

Apart from all the other points made here, I always wonder why uniforms have to look like there has been no development in clothing/fashion for the last 100+ years? Why do they have to look like they are extras on a Harry Potter filmset?

It is not the most elegant of sources, but it gives some explanation and cases. It also looks like it mostly effects second-home owners and tourists who have overstayed the 90-day period. In general, if applied for a residency, and lived in the EU for a while there is a small chance of being kicked out. Local conditions may apply, like a certain income in Spain.

People are stating as if it is the same issue, while I made a point in everything past the first sentence why it might not be a valid comparison. Also, people are not making comparisons, they just drop words along the lines of "x company also does that".

Ps. I don't hate Apple (I have been using their stuff most of my digital life), I just don't cult around a behemoth of a company pretending they have my best interests.

They should revise it and give it a rainbow horn or manes

Although I agree sentimentally, I would believe that if they leave there is an even smaller chance for them to dig themselves out of this semi-dictatorship.
