    Why wouldn’t it be okay to piss off Big Tech? That’s part of the point. They can either change their ways or fuck off. Governments and people are not the playthings of Big Tech. Intelligent legislature and legislation that is applicable to future technology would be a sensible approach rather than just the tech of current times.

      To be clear, I was being sardonic.

      Doing things the right way is difficult, and I don’t trust governments to do things that might piss off Big Tech because of all the money tied up in that sector. Politicians seem more interested in appeasing the Musks and Zucks of the world than in actually helping people. So it goes.
