     @rzeta0 I wish it wasn’t relevant. I wish folks had listened earlier. I wish when I tried to raise these issues at the European Parliament*, instead of attempting unsuccessfully to censor my talk before I gave it and then ignoring everything I said afterwards, they would have paid attention and supported our efforts to build alternatives (to this day we’ve received zero euros for the Small Web from the EU.)
