The tech industry might have framed itself as a libertarian paradise, but the US government has long seen the internet as a means to expand its power.
Now it’s weaponizing that influence against countries around the world. They must decide whether to give in or make the hard push for digital sovereignty.

Another week, another story of the callousness of the British state; the already failing e-Visa system seems to be corrupting & dismissing people's right to stay in the UK, has this week halted a mother's return to be with her child, while stranding her in Germany with another.
As so often the Home Office is quick to make mistakes but slow to rectify them with (seemingly) no regard to the human costs.
The state's runs rough shod over normal people (again).
