People have rights because they are humans. Companies aren’t, and as such don’t inherently deserve any rights. They are granted some rights where it’s beneficial to the society, or because of corruption (often legalized as lobbying).

You’re conflating innovation with office work, while in reality it’s often - or mostly - the inverse: the work patterns typical for software industry hurt innovation, replacing it mindless repetition - see the vast majority of software star

It’s not generalization, it’s mistaking what layman think of technology (websites and apps, 90% of which are useful only for extracting investors cash) with what actually is technology.

The definition doesn’t matter, what matters is what it is: a fringe theory reinvented in late XIX century as part of Catholic hate campaign. Your point being? As a reminder, we’re talking about democrats failing to condemn extremist ideas.

It’s not normal for police to protect demonstrations in your country? Which country is that, if I may ask? As for corruption - in Europe corporations can’t just buy congressmen. In US it’s the norm.

It’s very effective because people just use (illegal) streaming services instead :-) Otherwise one can run p2p over VPNs, like for many other things.

That’s not denouncing fundamentalism, that’s just asking to tone it down. Can you quote a single US senator who openly called “life from conception” what it is, like they called out antivaxers?

I can register certain types of business, but I can’t do anything that actually matters, like entering the country. According to US law I’m not even a proper human, so I could get lawfully executed on the spot, as evidenced by numerous dro

You said: >There are no secrets “you cannot publish” in the USA. As evidenced above there sure are. The “constitutionality” doesn’t matter.

Not really - they differ in rhetorics, but not in things that matter. Democrats hadn’t denounced any part of religious fundamentalism, for example.

Except in China there is no “single guy” like this. China is “democratic” same way US is - they vote for something similar to electors.

They aren’t sporadic, they are systemic. You’re assuming it’s different because you’ve been conditioned to believe the “land of the free” myth.

No, two parties representing largely the same lobbyists and sharing largely the same views are not "night and day" compared to one party. I'd go as far as to say they are exactly the same, except for pretending there's

Russia is being banned because of their invasion on Europe and mass murdering civilians. It's more similar to US in this regard than to China.

>China passed a law a couple of years ago requiring all Chinese companies to give the government live access to their databases. Yeah, just like US. TikTok isn't any different from, say, YouTube in this regard.

Neither - that alternative only makes sense if you assume at most high school level of knowledge of biology. If you knew anything more, you’d see how absurd it is - for example you’d know what a mole pregnancy is and how it demolishes that
