      Did elon’s ridiculously high payment of $60 billion or whatever it was go through? And what was that just for one year?

      The intrinsic value of the entire company is not more than 10 billion. The stock market is a joke.

    It is hard to appreciate anything the European Union is doing with their chat control.

    I do not know if they are also trying to put everyone into the masturbatorbase, for national security purposes many governments now need to know every page you have considered whacking off to.

    Also just so happens connecting your likeness and ID to your IP allows them to see everything you do and say online.

    For the kids. The kids that will also have everything they do and say recording.

        Part of the difference now is that before it was the National Security type people that had the information, no the politicians themselves will be able to access it, as well as numerous outside groups able to hack the system. So it is a world of difference even if the internet is compromised on a basic level. Especially now with these computer programs able to sort and make assumptions however unfounded about people.
