I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you if you actually think thats what is motivating this

what do you think is motivating this?

Do you really think that protecting our children from the garbage on these platforms is contrary to free speech?

The fact is that these platforms are run for profit. They are not fit for purpose if they can be exploited to exploit children, and, for that matter to facilitate unelected billionaires to overthrow elected democracies.

One of the best books I’ve ever read is The Making of the Atomic Bomb Book by Richard Rhodes. If you want an extremely in-depth history of the science and people behind Manhattan project, I would highly recommend reading it.

100% agree. Also, if you liked that, try his follow on, "Dark Sun", focusing on the fusion bomb development after the war. There is probably a much greater focus on politics, especially involving Teller.

A Nobel prize is due to the first person that proves whether exporting antimatter results in negative import duties or not.

a big man came to me, tears in his eyes, great guy...Sir, he said sir, why do we let Europe screw us on anti-matter? they just make this stuff negative like it doesn't exists and they want us to pay us, when we invented the anti-matter...so unfair
