    Notes:

      Other changes
      gollark: I think the US's ongoing expansion of mass surveillance is a more significant threat to that than people disagreeing with possible future court judgements.
      gollark: At the very, very least changes in transport technology complicate things.
      gollark: I don't think you can accurately make sweeping generalisations like that. Society is complicated.
      gollark: It's not a bad protocol. It just lacks features and is very 1980s-ish.
      gollark: Their approval process mixes together effectiveness, safety, and insurance paying for it for you.
