      My general point is that saying “I suspect that [something I could have checked]” is the worst kind of lazy cynicism. Just… read it? Or if you don’t have time, ask the question?

        [something I could have checked]

        Are you kidding?

        In what fantasy universe do corporations tell reporters that they’re backing new regulations because they’ll serve as a barrier to entry for potential competing startups?

        The US governments including the state of California, and Silicon Valley are the cynical pieces of shit and we all know it. This is connecting everybody’s ID to their IP address to be cataloged and everything they do by a novel means.

        A database that lower level government and politicians and muckity mucks in the business world and foreign intelligence agencies and hackers will be able to access.

      Did you not understand the phrase " I have a snesking suspicion that" or did you just miss it entirely?

      Speaking for myself here, FishFace may differ

      1. No, I did not understand it because snesking isn’t a word in my native language.
      2. You did not have that phrase in your original post for us to have missed.
      3. 😜
