What does that even mean? What does being a "global company" mean exactly? It was founded in the US, it is headquartered in California, its stock is sold public on the US stock exchange. Yeah it needs to follow US rules.

And self harm for following our own rules? If the law is wrong, the law should be changed, but that doesn't mean you can just ignore the law when it is convenient because other people break laws. People do drugs and steal stuff every day, does that mean I should be allowed to smoke crack on the White House lawn and steal their pink flamingos without punishment?

Also if you don't believe in the Rule of Law or that we should enforce it, you don't believe in democracy or modern society. In which case I really could not care less about your opinions on law and order because they are of zero worth. It would just be rule by strength of arms, and the only reasonable response to that is using my own strength of arms to beat or kill my opposition into submission.

Jensen is right!

Fuck that

The law gets changed thanks to innovators and pioneers like him otherwise we follow the same policy that’s killing us.

I simply refuse no matter what to see 1.4 billion people as the enemy blindly when they’re driving our world towards progress while our governance is out here jerking off and hurting ourselves
