@broadwaybabyto Are we to gather that somewhere in the world, in a fit of utter insanity, some legislature has banned the wearing of medical masks? Where is this place? Who are the stupid people that voted for this. Mass disobedience is called for.
@timhollo Not for the first time Bill has a solution in search of a problem. He thinks he’s found one that fits……
@ExtinctionR But how much of the costs are born by the businesses that cause the problems? And how much profit will be made by businesses as Governments spend to mitigate the problems? It is the way politics works that is all wrong. #disastercapitalism

Trying to engage young people on the subject of online surveillance and tailored offering by Google, Meta etc. Responses:

“I like the targeted ads/ news.”
“I’ve got nothing to hide.”
And generally a lack of interest in any discussion of the subject. SO to all those saying we need to engage more: how, exactly? I am yet to find a plausible answer.
