Honours
gollark: Maybe. It's hard to judge. If you average across all platforms ever, then probably.
gollark: I fear it.
gollark: The very ominously named "online safety bill" is very ominous and would impose ridiculous compliance requirements on basically everything, as well as allowing the media regulator to block sites which don't comply, as well as in a plausibly-deniable way banning end to end encryption, as well as requiring all web platform things to censor "harmful content".
gollark: The UK is also doing bad things nominally but not really in opposition to technology companies.
gollark: Australis is doing rather bad things seemingly not driven by and not desired by any tech companies.
