Perhaps this is a result of the US's PDF president ?

And US data collection in other countries
How social media cause harm to children
etc etc etc etc.

And just remember US laws end at the US boarder, don't like it, don't live, work, or do business in those countries. Easy as.

As yes, I can all that freedom the USA has from the other side of the world.....

Glad we don't have it...

Unlike the US fire at will, Europeans are not throwaways.
The wealth gap between the top 1% of the bottom 50% is growing in the USA and it unhealthy. To hide this politics has become highly partisan so the wealthy can point the finger at the other side and say "see it's their fault" where as in truth it's the fault of the billionaire class.

Good on Europ for actually understanding a country, its culture, its well being is made up of PEOPLE of all walks of life, not just the rich.

Nah, there will be seeking signs of Intelligent life, so that rules out the Whitehouse...... and well over 1/2 the USA.

So what happened in the USA then...? Corporate welfare is rampant in the USA, and Musk has shown how rich you can get on them as well as the "lobbying" of politicians to get awarded contract in front of other better options wh simply failed to pay a big enough bribe.

Sounds like the USA today.
The billionaire class simply grab everything they can for themselves and then sue into oblivion anyone who objects.

Can the rest of the world do the same with the USA ?

I do, so no ads in the content, but it seems to pick up if I block ads on the home pages etc.
They are easy to ignore and I have the channels I watch listed do I can go to them directly.

It works well enough that I can not be bothered putting in any more effort, but the sentiment applies to ALL sources of adverts, TV, Radio, News Papers etc...treat them all as scams.

I see so many ads for quack medicines, dating site scams, fake products, etc etc etc that I just assume ALL adverts are scams, not matter who they are from.
Adverts are now a product / brand warning.

Ahh, so this Explains why the USA is wanting to go back to the Dark Ages.

At the age of consent.
It's the age where they can have Sx, do Pron if they like, buy alcohol and a whole pile of other age restricted activities.

Social media on the other hand knows full well that getting children hooked means they will have a life long addict, much like Tobacco.
And the Tobacco industry lied, hid research , bribed officials, etc etc etc to stop and laws that would Impact their profits, or see them being sued.
Todays addiction of choice is the Dopamine hit and the developing brain is more susceptible to it than one that has fully matured.

Social Media is just doing a rinse and repeat from the same playbook.

The "agreement" is just a means to stave off laws that force restriction on them. They give an inch to make them look like the "good guys" while doing everything they can to ignore the rules and encourage ways to get around the rules.

Unlike star trek etc, this had a start, a middle and an end.
So many TV series are just a "milk it for as much as we can" with no clearly defined path in the story
There was a clear link to past and future episode so it had flow, just like a Novel does.
And so many TV series just start getting a following and they get cancelled.

The Expanse is also another excellent series

But Babylon 5 remains a firm favourite of mine,

I will never have Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, etc etc etc "security" etc in my home.

And any "phone home" devices get exited quickly too. They have proven time and time again they can NOT be trusted.

Like Obama not being born in the USA ?
That kind of political cover up by right wing media ?
Perhaps it was because he was doing thing things legally without any stormtroopers

They will be able to drive around in Tesla Roaderts by then too....in Hyperloops all powered by Tesla Solar roofs.
