McKinsey has a rather generalist and reader friendly take on it that won't break any laws: If you look at their Exhibit 1, "Sanctions" is clearly a contributor to high risk in AML/CFT models. As your link showed, the En

I doubt the people at the US Treasury would be blind to such an obvious maneuver. Not matter what the public opinion says I think they won't let NSO try and evade their blacklist.

Actually, 2 days ago Macron said the NSO incidents were behind them and France would strengthen cooperation with Israel. Source: https://twitter.com/BarakRavid/status/1455178005500805120

Ok great you argued the EU is hypocritical when it comes to large local companies. I still don't see how encouraging competition and interoperability in the smartphone and electronics market is a problem... except for Apple's marg

Please argue the opposite because I don't see what you mean.

I'm not sur if you know, but Apple complies with various local laws, and it impacts their margins. Interoperability favors competition, the EU is all about fair markets, not protecting Apple's margins.

You have less data because the law is for roaming not for people who want a Polish data plan they can use all year in Italy.

TheGrayZone and wikispook are clearly known disinformation outlets.

For a website that links to it's sources a few times and talks about ethics in media, it's quite surprising they don't back this accusation.

How can you do a direct listing without selling your shares? He had to show leadership there by selling 1.5% of his shares.

You need to setup as a defense contractor (and jump through all the hoops) just so you can sell a Zoom zero-day and realize the NSA will give you 50k?

A British business suing the EU in an EU court about a contract that explicitly says for EU members? Wouldn't go far.

No you saw a conspiracy theory peddled by Rudy Giuliani, the man in charge of the Trump legal challenge to the election. The video is so wrongly interpreted, Republicans were the first one to debunk it. It's important to note, in a vid

From experience, evidence-based conversations here are limited when it comes to politics unfortunately.

The Intelligence Committee of a Republican-led Senate confirmed the Russian interference and managed to write a 996 page report with all the evidence. The failure I see is Americans not wanting to read (or skim) the reports but being satisf

It's a really hard problem because the "anti-censorship" argument is also used by the side that wants to destroy democracy once in power. Historically, Americans have succeeded at destroying ideologies by grossly impeding on

Interestingly, the democrats would have fixed the elections but only managed to win the Senate in a tight run-off? After spending $100 million, the Trump campaign's legal team found no admissible evidence of election fraud, just videos

Or maybe the legal team lied to the public and were truthful to the 50 different judges?

The worst-case scenario is the end of democracy in the USA in the next 15 years. If one side stays convinced the elections were fraudulent and Trump is a victim , it will cause a permanent shift in how Americans see their own democratic ele

SEC doesn't look at direct investor harm to litigate so you won't find them trying to build such a case either. They want a fair market that's about it.

Forcing kids to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning isn't very liberal though.

In retrospect, using the term "deplatforming" reveals to me you are not equipped to debate about this. His fundraising was removed but he wasn't banned from GoFundMe or any other fundraising. You seem to dismiss dog-whistling

European companies in the USA or Asia are exposed to the same arbitrary laws that favor local players. They only are wielded at major strategic actors rather than small startups though.
