"In calling out the double standards, [Canadian PM Mark Carney] articulated a truth that the Global South has always known.
Carney’s speech was a timely reminder of what truly sustains economic systems: participants opting in. His speech highlights that we all must reject nostalgia for a rules-based system that never fully delivered on its promises. But we also must reject cynicism about cooperation itself."

As @pluralistic's has pointed out over and over, there is no longer even the pretense of a reason to keep enforcing the DMCA's enshittogenic "anti-circumvention" rules. Imposed on the world by US corporate interests through "trade agreements" they are now openly breaking. We must convince our lawmakers to decriminalise adversarial interoperability, and regulate in support of the Right to Repair, vendor-neutral technical standards, etc.
