If there's any entity in all this acting like Darth Vader, its other governments wanting to censor and control.
In the larger picture, there's also the meme growth mechanism lodged in most of your brains to knee-jerk run to government as solution, and only solution, such as this treaty's call for government control mechanisms for spam, which I am sure will never, ever be misused for other types of data filtering.
Spam bad. Government mass murderous. Are citations needed?

In a context of economic freedom, with granularity of 10 uears minimum, life gets better as measured by actual measurements.

Wanna know why the west is failing and Asia is rising like a rocket? It's the same reason we used to be rising like a rocket and they weren't.
Economics doesn't care whether seizure or uncertainty are driven by warlords or dictators or awesome laws and spending hreatening tax increases (and spending to offset negative effects of tax increases on business).

You fools! The "real ones" were identical to this as they were props!

Good! I'll have my own pocket universe and a harem of 30 computer-controlled hotties of my choosing from the fashion and entertanment industry.
And this is good, transcendent-level computer control. I don't want any way to tell they're actually robots besides that they're interested in me.
Ok, I wanna go see it in 3D and with 48 FPS and with Imax, if possible.

Look, man. I can't tell you the number of unicorn horns I've looted over the years, and I've yet to see one that's worth more than 50 cents.
Follow the money. Sooner or later someone has to take money out of the ultimate destination account.
Then, testicleectomy is warranted.
So much chin rubbing. Sadly, it's already been analyzed.
