Baofeng radios are often seen for sale in the UK, being sold as "legal PMR" becase they can be programmed to operate on PMR 446 channels. The reality is BF-888S radios are NOT UK legal for PMR 446. They fail on a number of legal criteria (and under technical testing they're just a sloppy product). Detachable antenna is illegal. Directly programmable, they have access to frequencies and channel separations well outside legal specifications.
Applicable law: Wireless Telegraphy Act (2006) #IANAL
My initial reaction was that I'm not convinced that this is going to happen. At least in German law (§§ 631 ff. BGB), fixed-price contracts are extremely inflexible, carry strict liability for defects (irrespective of fault even!) and therefore is typically very expensive (risk premium).
Especially the inflexibility is something I'm pretty sure clients won’t like at all, -especially- in the age of AI, where you can just “churn out stuff”.

@AwetTesfaiesus Wenn das Unternehmen jetzt mit den Daten was anderes macht als vorlesen, beispielsweise anschreiben um ein Abo zu verkaufen, wäre das ein Verstoß, weil die angeschriebene Person ja keinen Consent gegeben hat. Das könnte dann gemeldet werden und die überforderten Datenschutzstellen würde dann genau nichts machen. Weil unterfundet und überfordert und es kein gesetzliches verpflichtendes Bußgeld gibt.
Ach ja #iAnal I am not a lawyer
I am drafting a "rules of association". It is partly an exercise, and partly an guess at of something that may become real.
Starting with the standard rules for an "unincorporated association": (https://www.acnc.gov.au/sites/default/files/documents/2021-07/download_template_rules_for_unincorporated_associations_with_notes_pdf_639kb_.pdf)
But I am tired of organisations infiltrated by arseholes, and I wonder if it is possible to put standards of behaviour front and centre.
I am inspired by Mastodon's "No Nazis", but I am not sure it is either specific, nor general enough.
Please help. Does your group have something-like this? What have I missed, and, in the interests of sanity, what has been double-defined?

17. Membership hurdles.
17.1 The association insists on the following psychological characteristics and standards of behaviour from all members.
17.2 No member will be accepted, and existing members will be expelled if they fail any of these hurdles.
17.3 The psychological characteristics. Members must not be:
i. psychopaths,
ii. sociopaths,
iii. narcissists,
iv. liars,
v. egomaniacs.
17.4 The standards of behaviour. Members must never indulge in :
i. crime,
ii. racism,
iii. misogyny,
iv. criticism of person,
v. aggression, threats, shaming,
vi. coercive control,
vii.prejudice, bigotry.
17.5 The association explicitly rejects the notion that a person’s ability can replace or diminish their need to clear these hurdles. The most able and talented member will be expelled if they fail.

Het nieuwe hyperscale daracentrum van microsoft komt er alleen maar via een juridisch trucje; het zijn officieel drie kleintjes, die vallen onder de 70MW norm.
Kunnen we met andere juridische trucjes niet ervoor zorgen dat maar 1 vd 3 geëxploiteerd kan worden?
Óf met z’n allen van microsoft en copilot af, zodat het minder rendabel wordt.
In Amsterdam bouwt een Brits bedrijf dit jaar een van de grootste datacenters van Europa, terwijl gemeente, provincie en Tweede Kamer geen nieuwe ‘hyperscales’ meer willen. Hoe heeft dit kunnen gebeuren?
