      I’m not so sure we can rely on governments to stand up to big corporations on our behalf.

      We can, but a lot more flags need to feature a hammer and sickle for that.

      This, I think, is a problem that is caused by tech illiteracy in governments. I mean shit, even I barely understand the things you brought up, and I’m a millennial. The boomers (mostly) that run governments DEFINITELY don’t understand those things. At least, at the level someone like you may. And that’s a problem that needs to be solved, because ignorant people are easily taken advantage of.

      I still believe my point stands, but I absolutely agree with you.
