gollark: The UK has the exciting new "online safety bill" probably coming soon.
gollark: How wonderful.
gollark: Although it's more "complete inability to listen to anyone competent" than "lack of maths knowledge".

gollark: Remember, even if you only studied philosophy or politics, maths can't hurt you if you just deny it constantly or ban it, and technology people can do anything if you complain enough!
