If the United States’ populace elects its officials, why do the representatives act against the populace’s wishes? Is this typical of all governments with elected representation? Are they solving different organizational problems that most people are not aware of? I am curious how such a system arises, maintains itself, and is resilient to change.

part of my job is to monitor tor and find people from using it, easier than you'd think.. so i wouldn't bankshot on that alone
I wouldn't think it'd be hard to find people using TOR, it's the stuff you're doing while you're on TOR that should be more difficult to track.

This should be fun for a service like Twitch. What happens when a streamer on their platform starts playing a game with a copywritten song playing on the game's radio or background? Many times the streamers themselves are not aware that this is a crime.

Play on a particular grievance or issue of a voter and they'll let you do almost anything else. Be anti-immigrant and you can destroy social wellness programs, stomp on unions, etc.
In those days it was just one of the many ridiculous moments associated with the rapid 1990s Internet situation in California. I was annoyed but only slightly, knowing that this guy was personally instigating legal action on millions of others. However, this is all true.

I think a big part is the growth in complexity of the "source code" has allowed special interests to thrive in a discrete way. But I think the biggest problem is centralization of media control. Copyright allows the media to be controlled by tiny fraction Control the media and it becomes a lot easier to get away with lying. We need to #AbolishCopyright
