is when this started.

evil plans you say?

Not evil plans. Just exploiting their powers to make outcomes they consider morally correct.

Or happen to be beneficial.

Though come to think of it, Google no longer claims "don't be evil" as a motto...

My personal thought: Net Neutrality is going to backfire on the internet giants. It'll be applied to both them and the telecoms. They made a huge effort to convince everyone it was a good idea. And then they got everyone angry at them for unrelated issues.

So now everything is on the table. They (Reddit in particular) are hounding the telecoms. But this is making the infrastructure to regulate massive social networks by extension.

The question is when and who will be in power when it does. I will predict we see new regulations before 2020. Balance of power will heavily dictate the terms.

That regulations become a backdoor for the government to manipulate and control the populace is probably inevitable. We are between Scylla and Charybdis on this issue.

Also, regulations might very possibly create an economic downturn.

There's alot of hype and money in the sector and poorly designed regulations could do alot to cut off growth and burst the bubble.

is there any other type of regulations?

sporting ring regulations

i mean aside from poorly designed ones

then no?

@Grenade123 it's hilarious, it's almost like the deadline did not affect enrollment amount :V

```Assemblyman Marc Levine (D-San Rafael), called registration “a common sense accountability measure to track weapons that can be used for great harm to society.” ```

all i can say is this is BS

"ban guns that can reload" is how I read that

bullet button is already a slower system compared to detachable magazine, yet they act like they stopped the bump stock

WE just want COMMON SENSE GUN REFORM. No one wants your guns. No one is trying to create a hitlist for harassment. No one is going to get thrown in jail.

*Sheesh* Ya'll NRA Terrorists or something.

I didnt register because i went the featureless route

How does one have common sense without common knowledge?

Because 2+2=fish

Who needs to know math

@itsnotmyfault there a bunch of outrage about it. Seems politics is bleeding into every aspect of society. Even table top gaming

Oh the tabletop gaming thing has been an issue for a while, it's just lower severity due to the nature of the hobby

Like the writers could be absolute turbocommies but it makes no difference because you can just homebrew their shit out, or play an older edition
