That sounds pretty cool actually

it doesn’t have to be about property, it can be about showing off that your officially one family now. And i think that’s a valid reason for changing your last name (aka family name)

You can always opt to take on a double name, you can both take on your wife’s name if you prefer that, or whatever. But just because a woman chooses to take her husband’s name, doesn’t mean that she’s now his property. Your children also aren’t your property just because they have your last name

Edit: And before someone brings up the fact that the historic reason is property: Things can change and people like to stick to certain traditions regardless of the history that the tradition carries.

Just because your last name is Smith doesn’t mean that you need to become a blacksmith, even though that’s where the name originates from

I’m not so sure about the “no exceptions”… I assume you’re refering to the Web Accessibility Directive here. It specifically states this:

This directive does not apply to public service broadcasters or non-governmental organisations that do not provide services that are essential to the public or specifically to people with disabilities.

This is very much an exception, and a big one at that.

Since reddit does not provide services essential to the public, they are not required to comply with web accessibility standards.

I’m happy to be proven wrong here, but this is how i interpreted it and it would cause a lot of problems if the EU started going after private websites (which reddit still is, they are not a public sector, nor do they provide essential services to the public) and force them to be accessible.
