its also possible that whatsapp might co-operate with law enforcement

Hm, might want to look into that as some people/media outlets claim that the Companys have to allow the Gouvernment access to their services

just heard it today on Level1 Tech News

ok, I'll look into it

here a timed link

what I like is how they fucked over Walmart (and kinda Amazon as well)

The same laws exist here in Brazil aswell, they've been there for years, here all phone and messenger companies are required to keep a year worth of calls, and conversations so that the police can check them in case they start an investigation, but they need a search warrant to have access to them, and there is a massive beef between WatZapp and the brazilian police and justice system as they demand that WhatZapp keep records of the conversations on the app as there are a lot of criminals who use it and Telegram to do illegal businesses and plot criminal actions.

There have even been cases where Watzapp got shutdown for up to 2 weeks because of legal procecutions

companies will always find a way around those regulations

Govt here has a hangover from their pre-90s socialist days

of overhanded regulations

yep

I mean amazon and walmart

in any case, the most important problem for the future is land and labor laws reform

which can stimulate the manufacturing sector by making it easy to open up factories

providing millions of jobs

getting rid of regulation can make yout the next China

if we don't become the next China, we might implode

imagine all those young ppl with no jobs

recipe for disaster

when ppl's livelihoods are threatened, they panic and vote for socialist parties

or worse, communist parties

but so far, the general trend has been towards freer markets

lets see

Bolsenaro naugiration?

@Dionysus Well, doesn't look too good in europe either.

yes

thanks to the fuckup from 2015 onwards, the people here are rather unhappy and if gov. fucks up further, a revolution will take place.

sadly not the way it has to be

@Stefan Payne where u from ?

honestly true populists scare me as much as traditional communist/fascist types

its funny, ppl here are generally very optimistic
ppl in developed countries seem to be more depressed

maybe because you're already at the top and there's no way to go but down or stay the same

@GoldenPhoenix I love populists, tbh

@Dionysus Born Nazi.
That should give you an Idea where I'm from.

lmao

Austria or Germany
