Telecom eng., but you will downvote anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peering List of truisms you believe and thus want to downvote me: 0) ISPs charge both ends 1) ISPs intentionally make your tube, flix, etc experience miserable 3) Everything should be 'unlimited' 4) Bandwidth is basically free
It worked great for the last several hundred years.
No, it did not.
E.g. In a country of 100M people, if 60% agree with a bill and it becomes law
That's not how that law was adopted.
More interesting that that mostly childless politicians are in favor of such things. That's makes sense since those legislations are NOT about children.
The defence against this is widespread truly peer to peer messaging services
Spain would label you criminal for merely using alternative Android builds: https://www.androidauthority.com/google-pixel-organized-crim...
Surely that not the case. Check any public BGP looking glass: Arelion/Telia uses RIPE space in the USA, Lumen/Level uses APNIC space in Europe and so on.
It doesn't feel like that for me. I reached professionally assessed B1 in French about 6 years ago and I don't feel I've reached B2 yet.
Interesting fact. Is there a list of local government mx servers?
If one has ever tried to announce an ARIN IP in the EU or a RIPE IP in the US they will send warnings that the allocations will be pulled back if that is not fixed.
Who are "they" in this case?
People born yesterday are alive today and will be alive in the next ~70 years mostly.
With a such rapid demographic growth they have no choice. The population of Egypt doubled in last ~35 years. (quadrupled in the last ~60 years)
Indeed. I live in Canada and while USMCA benefited some industries it did not others. Also as a Canadian I suspect the new agreement most likely will be even less beneficial to Canadians.

"The Court replied that it is irrelevant whether or not the broadcasting of the prohibited content takes place in the course of an economic activity. The concept of ‘operator’ covers, in the present context, any person responsible, directly or indirectly, for making the prohibited content available, including in the context of a non-remunerated activity or in the operation of a website financed by voluntary contributions from third parties. The Court also clarifies that that classification depends neither on the extent nor on the duration of the broadcasting "
It can't find any major event happened in Canada in the last 10 days.
What 'big money' you have in mind in this very specific case?
I feel the same when visiting a doctor in Canada. In that 2 minutes I have with they in one appointment per year I hear a standard text.
selectively giving away free money to big business is straight corruption
Liberals in canada call that 'making housing affordable', https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/prime-minist...
It feels that in Canada business is impossible unless it's directly funded by the government.
"What Andy Giveth, Bill Taketh Away"
One pattern I saw repeatedly was a contractor being let go, only to return via a large outsourcing provider.
That's 'normal' in Canada and France.
wiping out competition by undercutting them using state subsidies
The same tactic is in the USA. Like every new AI datacenter has ~10 tax waiver + explicit subsidies + favorable loans, etc, etc.
If Facebook propaganda is so effective (and cheap) Western democracies should promote democratic values in Belarus/Kazakhstan.
Canada should use this channel to promote tariff cancellation in the USA.
I doubt that Facebook is efficient on important matter. If I'm wrong then Canadian government is doing very bad job in promoting democratic values in and outside Canada.

Aged like a milk.
Not sure if that sarcasm or you are serious. But yes, people have issues with access to banking in EU all the time.
We don't hear about "acid rain" anymore
Because of the de-industrialization of the West.
Government has telcos track people
Yes
and that data ends up available on the black market for anyone to purchase, for a fairly modest fee
Probably not. Those DBs are fake most ( all ? ) the time.
Most people browse Facebook/Youtube over IPv6 as a matter of fact and that work perfectly.
Nobody is demanding IPv4 either. Or Ethernet. People buy "Wi-Fi", literally "Wi-Fi", not Internet access.
That's why one company should not be allowed being an ISPs and a media company.
There are a lot of people who retire and die not long after because
Because they are old. Retirement age is close to the death, especially for men. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/life-expectancy.htm
Because the West no longer competes with USSR.
