So it begins. The problem with challenging the orthodoxy is that it controls the levers of power. Legislation will always be sold as "safety" and "security" but it's really about "challenge" -> India asks Twitter to follow tough new social media laws - arabnews.com/node/1870961/m…
The downside for those countries involved, is whilst it gives those in power a false sense of control, it undermines the very changes that are occuring and which are leading to new, more competitive organisations and industries -

But we always do this. The very desire to control change in order to retain the status quo, the existing symbols and structures of power leads us along a path where we lose power to others who choose to adapt.
It doesn't matter whether we're talking about attempts to restrict online media under the guise of "safety" or trying to force employees back into the office ... it's mostly about power, control and status symbols ... it will mostly be counterproductive. Better to adapt.
X : Conspiracy?
Me : Lol. These sorts of behaviours don't need "dark forces in shadows working in concert" ... they just need people with power acting out of self interest. The problem is the system.
