       @stux Same… but it’s not the *size* of the purchase per se, but the complexity: I’m not willing to choose from different flights, compare prices, choose a thousand options while doing the perceptual equivalent of peering through a keyhole for as long as I have a choice.

       @jwcph @benroyce @lisamelton To inject a little caution: I’m all for calling a supremacist a supremacist, an asshole an asshole, a motherfucker a motherfucker… based on what they say, believe, and do. But crossing the line that dehumanizes them is oh so easy & feels so good. But if we do that we’re the same as them, just in a different ‘tribe’; and then it’s easy then to forget that evil in this world is done by ordinary people just like you and I.

       @EUCommission “Tech providers are responsible for the safety of their products and their safe use”And this principle applies for *everyone*The products must be made safe - for everyone. The providers must be made responsible - for everyone. The profiteers must be accountable - to everyone.The solution isn’t to wall children off from the world, it is to go back to building safe, decent, accountable society - starting with the wealthiest and most powerful.

       @dangillmor “Shell companies” are companies that exist only on paper to hold other assets or businesses.”“Their existence is entirely legal”  … maybe it shouldn’t be?“and they are usually used for legitimate business activity.” Really? Are you sure? How do we know? Are there other ways to accomplish those legitimate activities?Maybe we’re killing the baby with the cyclosporidia laden waters?
