What really gets to me is how big tech isn't even pretending anymore to serve society. They clearly feel superior to the rest of us and entitled to rule.

Power corrupts. It’s one of the most predictable effects throughout human history.

It’s interesting because it doesn’t seem like it needs to be intrinsic to power, and yet every time someone gains it they eventually become corrupt.

Larry should be a good example and publicize all his communication. Pretty sure he is on his best behavior all the time.

Even if he did, the Epstein class already provided that they will get away with everything so what would be the point.

I'm 100% sure a man like him, with lots of money, will have "interesting" life. The fact that he's willing to be recorded, is he an exhibitionist? Oh wait, he's exempted?

Lol like EU chat control: politicians vote in favor, and politicians are excluded.

Sometimes I wonder, if we were actually allowed to engage in the consensual drugs and sex that constitutes 95% of the activity people want to "get away with", would our societal response to infringements on our privacy be even weaker than it currently is?
