I'm not even a US/UK/EU citizen.
Is there any way I can contribute?
Or do I just sit and watch the world burn as policymakers elsewhere indirectly make policies that might inadvertently affect people far far away as well?

- heavyset_go 5y agoThere are groups that are trying to counter it that you can donate to and/or work with. The media, including social media, likes "This person from ____ is worried about how ____ will impact Americans and the rest of the world" narratives, if you feel like writing or reaching out to journalists that report on these topics.

- buck4roo 5y agoEFF really failed to connect the dots here. I don't see how, from a plain reading of the bill's text, one can argue what their letter claims. Can someone connect these dots?

Go away!" and get myself banned from entering <Western-country>. Off-topic: Happy to see your reply here, Beej. I love the books you have authored :)
