  Can someone please ELI5:
  “Why does every site on the web have to adjust for every jurisdiction in the world? Shouldn’t each jurisdiction just be responsible for filtering/censoring the web for their citizens based on whatever batshit idea their leaders have?

  Actually, I suspect the answer is quite easy: this way, they force other people to have to pay for their batshit crazy ideas instead of themselves.

  Is there another explanation I’m missing?

  I’ve started using an AI driver for my car. And by “AI” I mean I use a bungee cord on the steering wheel to keep it straight. Straight is the correct answer 40% of the time, so it works out.
  Oh, and by “my car”, I mean the people that work for me. I insist that they use my bungee-cord idea to steer their cars if they want to work for me. There may be a few losses, but that’s ok. I can always fire the ones that die and hire more.
  I’m a genius.
