    It’d help if the government wasn’t run by a bunch of ancient humans that were there when cavemen would draw on cave walls. The government has shown time and time again they don’t understand tech but always try to act like they do. Take that tiktok case for example. They made themselves look like idiots to the USA. Pathetic.

      I think the moment for me was when they had Mark Zuckerberg himself, testify to Congress.

      They didn’t “grill him” as media would’ve liked to have you believe. The guy danced around all of Congress because they themselves didn’t know a damn thing about what he was saying. Of course he wasn’t penalized and got off scot-free.

      Just like every other tech company. The FTC, has no teeth. The FCC, has no teeth. Congress, has no brain.
