Here we describe a recent form of gambling promotion that we term “content hijacking”. It’s very present here on X, and involves the assimilation of gambling logos into non-gambling related memes or videos

Austrian news 🇦🇹

@CounterStrike #LootBoxes are ILLEGAL gambling as the skins can be traded on a secondary market, says Styria court, as I discussed w/ @HOUNGOUNGAGNE.

But! FIFA loot boxes were previously inconsistently held to be both illegal and legal.

Had a lovely time seeing the Lady Haig Poppy Factory and taking in the rich history of the Poppy Appeal, as told to us by their amazing tour guide 'Womble'!

[Dr Glen Dighton @glendighton]

Grateful for a very educational and poignant tour of Lady Haig's Poppy Factory. Thank you Womble and @poppyscotland for hosting us as part of the @Vet_Families Scotland outreach tour. Genuinely a really worthwhile visit if you're in Edinburgh!

[Dr Glen Dighton @glendighton]

@Roxy_Moores @rory_aaron1 @kcmhr @KingsCollegeLon It certainly was a thought-provoking session and I'm glad you both found it valuable! Looking forward to the next session and definitely going to be looking at dates to pop up to Manchester too!
