Well let's take that bull by the horns. In 100 years we will push back from the oceans. Meanwhile technology will be unrecognizable and none of this will be any matter either way.
Tedros said: "A clean and healthy environment is the single most important precondition for ensuring good health.
False. The greatest predictor is a free and productive economy that lifts the masses from dirt-floor poverty and attendant under-nutrition. Only then can you afford the luxury of reducing pollution from the economic might that produced that massive improvement.
Pardon me, but while that is something for concern, government has a mass murderous track record with respect to freedom of speech.
Even our own must be dragged kicking and screaming into court over it, over and over again.
The more government fatfingers things, the more they will try to censor, either directly, or indirectly by delaying regulatory approvals for uppity companies or people.
Given government's attempts (and successes historically and currently, viz. Tv, Radio, campuses, work environments, some of which you may even agree with) realize we are only one Supreme Court decision away from being able to limit it...as on phones.
Your savior, historically, is your murderer...of free speech. If corps censor, far more likely they do it hand in hand with some autocrat wannabee.
It's either currency, in which many, many countries would have issues with it, as that is something governments reserve to themselves, or it skirts those laws as some kind of traded item, in which case it would normally be taxed when converting to cash aka selling it like any other sale, or when it is used to buy something, in which case it is trading something for something, which is often taxed as a sale of cash value (lest people escape sales taxes by implementing a trading economy.)
It's the collected steam pouring from the ears of every Earthling on hearing Kylie Jenner is the world's youngesf self-earned billionaire, getting a million dollars a tweet.
And btw, Democrats are not gonna want to try to overturn that principle just for this one issue. They use it all the time to stop conservative states from stepping on federal regulations.
This issue is just strange in the political sense because the "sides" have switched the value they place on state autonomy vs. federal supremacy w.r.t.the commerce clause.
As with the umpire joke,
"Strike!"
"That was a ball!"
"Yesterday it might have been a ball. Tomorrow it might have been a ball. But today, it's a strike!"
So, too, yesterday and tomorrow the sides will flip back to their normal valuations on the commerce clause.
Whatever the merits, there's a longstanding principle of federal supremacy in the commerce clause, including something called the "dormant commerce" principle, where, if the government considers regulating something, and chooses not to, by default no state may override their "well-considered regulatory choice" of no regulation.
Why wouldn't people want to live in a virtual world? If robots can care for your brain, knock yourself out doing what you want, with entire virtual galaxies you can call your own.
Indeed there's no reason to even make half-assed physics similar to the real world. No need for speed of light, for example. Or gravity. Or pain.
There's a case winding its way through courts where some maga people were routed away from an encounter by Berkley police, who deliberately routed them through antifa groups so they could be harrassed and attacked.
Whether they deserved it in some cosmic sense doesn't justify government action like this, literally brownshirt-like activities.
"I hate capitism!" he thumbed out on his iPhone, and pressed send. He sat back in the cafe and waited for them to call his name for his $4.95 Iced Cappo Machi-Mocha Caramellow.
He needed to rush home because the video game league championship was on in 20 minutes for Guns of Murder, prize $500,000.
Next up: I quit Verizon on my tablet after 3 years of a 2 year contract. When the final month was up, all app-based video (read: Netflix, YouTube, AMC, etc.) broke.
I am guessing the system video (HTML 5?) utility needs to call home to Verizon each video segment, fails, and the video ends or jumps back randomly.

Is this:
A. The slogan of some fast-growing tech giant?
B. The slogan of some billion-product established multinational?
C. One politician to another in the cloakrooms of many countries, drooling over the possible kickbacks, illegal and legal , to slow or halt this breakup process?
Can I play Warcraft or other Windows games?
That's the only reason I switched from Mac to PC 20 years ago. They both did surfing and programming and office type apps just fine.
Supreme Court Scrutinizing Class Action Settlements That Leave Consumers Empty-Handed

How well do those in power not in capitalist societies care about anyone else? Actual measurements, please.
Trolls go back and forth to distract from the OP, which is about a disturbing increase in the surveillance state.
Politician: "What good are tiny, one-hand books?"
Printer engineer: "Senator, in 20 years, you will be having an impulse to censor them."
To hell with this! Rule that fans of MMORPG abandonware like City of Heroes can fire up private servers, including for-pay ones.

And taxed as such?

Well government wants it low because of unprecedented borrowing, in good times, at rates not seen since WWII.

About two years ago this happened:
"Their mouth appliances are so bulky it sounds like they're talking with a mouthful of cotton."
"That could work!"
I never even finished STD when I had CBS All Access for Big Brother.

It took the lawyers an average of 92 minutes to complete the NDA issue spotting, compared to 26 seconds for the LawGeex AI.
I imagine sexbots will achieve similar results.
Indeed shouting at people in restaurants isn't speech-as-discussion. It is speech to dehumanize people and turn them into cretins.
All social ostracism rather than speech is this.
I guess that's a fine tactic in a free society, bit to suggest it isn't dehimanization is ludicrous.

Microplastics Found In Human Stools For the First Time
The study had some fits and starts before it got off the ground.
"Check this stool sample for microplastics."
"I can't see any."
"They're really tiny. Look closer."
"I still can't see any."
"No, they're really, really tiny. Look closer. Much closer. Much, much closer..."
