As I said in another message, I am talking about usenet. If we are talking about facebook and the mainstream, I agree with you. If we are talking about usenet, I, living in europe, am not worried at all. The first time I'll read about a usenetter being arrested for saying negro in a newsgroup, _then_ I'll worry about it. If you are the type of person to worry about the letter of the law, and if you _potentially_ might get arrested for doing something, europe is not for you. There are so many bullsh*t laws, regulations, rules and procedures in europe, that you are always breaking the law in some way. That is why I use the media to gauge the danger level, when I should start to worry. But this is not only for people, it goes for companies as well. I don't even know how many regulations I am breaking with my company. I should probably have a gender plan, an environmental analysis, an anti-discrimination plan etc. etc. but since it is b.s. I simply don't care. If someone should mention it, I'll ask chat gpt to generate some nonsense. Chatgpt is good at generating nonsense, so from that point of view it is a great and mighty time saver! =D I actually did that for a customer that was very woke. They wanted to fulfill every single regulation. They are not doing well, and I managed to last 3 years. ;) >> First of all, no one in power even knows what usenet is, so no one will >> ever look.
