Failure to follow this guidance may result in enforcement action." ] ], "content": "nostr:nprofile1qyd8wumn8ghj7ctjw35kxmr9wvhxcctev4erxtnwv4mhxqpq7xuv4kypff0f3nd2mv0cs0r6prxh9glppy2493l2t0tcfwqzqqdsl58psn\nhttps://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/ad8f/live/7897b440-e24a-11ef-bd1b-d536627785f2.jpg\nOnline pharmacies will no longer be allowed to use customer pictures or questionnaires as evidence.\nhttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5yeklrer39o", "sig": "3c353f64bd9ef1cc5768f6c162d4967ae5930263ec9969526f546aa828048b878d27aef98fee5a275e1c88194881ea4bdbf2927d1e9f9838b77a3860cdc1e68e" }
