old adage. Never assume malice when ignorance is just as likely a cause. Sounds like this was just another case of out of touch leaders not thinking the wording through properly.
They are amending it to make it "Crystal Clear" (their words) that this only targets "professional posts" (i.e. Politicians, Corporations, any one doing it for money) and not individuals posting their opinions
He brings one thing (almost*) no one else does. Funding. Everyone else working to make the world a better place can't get funding. Government's won't give them funding because they will lose their voter base, and other corporations are only interested in making more money.
Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg, Warren Buffet, Larry Page... all of them make just as much as Elon (relatively, I mean, compared to us they sure as heck do) and and none of them interested in making things better. (other than the size of their wallets)
- I'm not an Elon fanboy, I fully accept he is an asshole, and as SOON as someone else comes along willing to put their money into making the world a better place to the level Elon is I will support them instead.
* - Bill Gates being the notable outlier, and I should note that I fully support him as well, (or at least his foundation)
** I cannot speak to the safety rating and too find the 10x number suspect.
Its a Hitchhiker's Guide Reference.
found the link to their original paper:

unknown as in they don't know that it was or where it came from, not that they didn't 'see' it.
Darn, Here I was hoping for it to actually contain a bunch of unfinished vfx, and half the film to be "Footage to be Shot" plates..
- no, seriously. I bet that is exactly the state it was in when he left, and that's what the "Fan Boi's[sic]" deserve.
- oh, oh, oh... don't forget to include Mr. Cavills mustache!
Obligatory:
Well, the thing about a black hole - its main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them?
What the hell is wrong with you yanks? DIVING BOARDS a LIABILITY?? cripes, here in Canada we still have Diving Towers.
Forget 3 - 4 feet off the water, I know of two places within driving distance of my place where you can dive off a platform 20 feet above the water.
While the violence in Watchmen probably exceeds the brutality of that seen is Sin City, the difference is that is has a "message". Its a comment about our protagonist, about them being human, and nothing more that costumed vidulaties, many with severe physiological issues. Far from the costumed "Heroes" they originally strived to be.
The Major difference: the Violence in Sin City was designed to be "enjoyed", while the violence in Watchmen is intended to disturb.
To be fair there is (as mentioned somewhere above) a big difference between disipline and abuse.
Kiss your keyboard goodbye!
