The European Union seems powerless to counter the assault waged by the US president-elect and Big Tech, against laws designed to regulate the EU's digital space.

          I manage with just Signal right now. You’ve got to be hard with your closest circle in the beginning, I guess. :/

          Agree with what you are saying.

          On a side note, I am interested in how your word capitalization is meant to be interpreted. Should there be an emphasis on the words Out, Groups, Out, Always, and Sense or is this some autocorrect issue?

              Gotcha. Google keyboard has the ability to add multiple languages at the same time (I use it myself). Maybe that will fix your issue: hold the “,” -> swipe to the settings icon -> add keyboard -> … -> enable multilingual typing for both languages

    This is the entire reason why fascism is surging everywhere. The greatest risk billionaires and their corporations face in the modern world is the regulations of democratic nation states, so their goal is to overthrow them entirely.

    It’s not a coincidence that big tech is going mask off and collaborating with fascism. What more could a sociopath capitalist want than a monopoly under the state-capitalism of a fascist dictatorship?

    It all can be traced back to the regulations after the great depression, that created the middle class, and then went into overdrive with the clean air act and tobacco regulations in the 1970’s — of course it was spearheaded by the most criminally corrupt and destructive industries — a wave of pseudo-libertarian neoliberalism/conservatism swept over the world as they bought up politicians, and fascism was its logical progression.
