Personally, I'd rather expect people to learn to #SelfHost and block all the #GAFAM's entire ASes as an act of self- and mutual defense than any regulation to happen.
Espechally since Governments AROUND THE GLOBE love that #SurveillanceState shit and outsorcing #Stasi 4.0 was the biggest grift ever...

#Politricks in the #USA is so paywalled that it's basiclaly not a #Democracy but #Cleptocracy and noone in #Politics can candidate without appeasing to masses of rich donors.
#BigDonors are why #Biden and not #Sanders is #POTUS, not their platforms!

If we allow #PrivateProfits, we must also allow #PrivateFailure.
If we only #privatize #prifit but only #socialize #losses, then we turn the system into a #cleptocracy.
Noone should be allowed to become #TooBigToFail and espechally #TooBigToJail per bery concept.

@astrid it won't because there's too much money on the line and in a #cleptocracy like the #USA where one can't be politically successful without accepting #bribes, the #ForProfitPrison-based industry is a big donor.

@TruthSandwich @Klowner @eniko @altice@marrow.haus we both know that's bs.
Or to put it in better words:
You should vote the lesser evil but that doesn't mean you should lick the boots clean.
That being said we all know that the #cleptocracy is unfixable and as long as being a facist isn't a felony nor prosecuted, shit won't change.

@aljazeera Evidence shows that high regulation fosters corruption: https://blogs.worldbank.org/developmenttalk/do-more-rules-lead-more-corruption-evidence-using-firm-level-survey-data-developing
TL:DR: Many folks who might consider payoffs bad reconsider when the payoff gets them through the red tape that would cost more time and money. (aside: I would completely avoid a #cleptocracy like #putin 's)
In watching this #aljazeera series, this "rule" seems corollary, where the sanctions against #zimbabwe acts like red-tape/regulation that drives these folks to normalize corruption.

@lari @aral @serge @EU_Commission @FRA @edri the main issue is that the #EU turns itself into a dystopian #cleptocracy in the form of a #SurveillanceState with #LateStageCapitalism...
And that is the problem:
#Corruption is also legal in the EU!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tu32CCA_Ig
Otherwise #reactionary #cyberfacists like #Zensursula #VonDerLeyen would not even be allowed into office.
And this shit eats up the EU from the inside...

@DaemonFC The #cleptocracy of the #USA is a systemic problem - yes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tu32CCA_Ig
Still, #Putin is obviously trying to claim he's a victim when he's the unquestionable aggressor from the very beginning.
Thus one should never agree with him on anything!
