Remember what you learned in school: Working as a team to solve a test or problem is unacceptable!!! Unless you are a company town.

Who writes the laws? There's your answer.

I'm curious why https://www.falconfinance.ae/ cares about this though.

I did some digging. It's a parody finance website that makes it seem like you can invest in falcons and make a blockchain (flockchain) with them. Dig a little further, go to the linked forum, and you'll see it's just a community of people shitposting (mostly).

To paraphrase Nixon:

"When you're a company, it's not illegal."

To paraphrase Trump:

"When you're a company, they just let you do it."
