Well, maybe you also should connect them to voices in the desert, calling but without anyone answering

So how is it?

Do they, or do they not, represent you?


They don't represent me, with one possible exception, but how about you?


Those politicians that is.

Laws and regulations

" "It is similarly unacceptable for foreign officials to demand that American tech platforms adopt global content moderation policies or engage in censorship activity that reaches beyond their authority and into the United States," Rubio said. Some foreign officials have taken "flagrant censorship actions against U.S. tech companies and U.S. citizens and residents when they have no authority to do so," Rubio said.

U.S. social media companies like Facebook and Instagram parent Meta, opens new tab have said an EU content moderation law, the Digital Services Act, amounts to censorship of their platforms. The Trump-appointed chairman of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission in March warned the EU Digital Services Act excessively restricts freedom of expression."

Several fronts, not accepting any law except their own.

I could call them f*ng idiots, all of them, but I won't.

They are primary locked in, into wars we don't need, and faces they don't want to lose, any of them.

With Mr Zelenskyy having more than just his face to worry about

As for global warming it's the same tired story. Us unable to do anything about it. So stuck in our game of inequality, without any consensus on anything but preserving it to the bitter end.
