Russian Duma prepares to put the wood to Big IT

[REGNUM] In Russia, the regulatory framework for digital platforms wishing to take over the functions of the state has already been prepared, said State Duma Deputy Anton Gorelkin (United Russia), commenting on the speech of Russian President Vladimir Putin .

"The President is right: attempts by digital platforms to take over the functions of the state, to influence political life in different countries will be severely suppressed. Each state will find its own way to put global Internet companies in their place, to force them to conduct a civilized dialogue - and not to dictate conditions. In Russia, the necessary regulatory framework has already been prepared and can be used at any time," Gorelkin said in the Telegram channel.

The parliamentarian still hopes that there will be no reason to turn on these mechanisms at full capacity.

"Compulsion to dialogue is not Russian know-how, and Vladimir Vladimirovich (Putin) also spoke about this yesterday. I do not think that digital giants will organize their activities in our country in any special way, and I hope that the joint efforts of states will lead to a radical rethinking of their role in this world by bigtech, ”he said.

#3  At some point the flow of talented scientists, expert mathematicians and engineers from places like Russia to the US will dry up.

Why take a $300k a year job in Silicon Valley if more than half is commandeered by an incompetent and corrupt political elite that funds illegals, tells your kids they're racist deplorables, subjects them to Tranny story hour and Heather Has 17 Genders, unleashes dudes-in-a-dress invading and committing rapes in the little girls' bathroom -- and then denies them admission to top universities ten years later in favor of Wakandan and other favored race-spawn whose math and writing skills are below those of a Russian 12 year-old?

We got lucky. Our tech and economic prowess was built with the help of brilliant Jewish and other immigrants fleeing their homelands' devastation in the last century.

This century we won't be so lucky.

Well, we had a good run, didn't we?

#1  Russia is a troubled society that nonetheless continues to move upward.

We were a largely peaceful and prosperous society that is now swiftly declining in nearly every aspect of governance and social cohesion.

Russian longevity and fertility are increasing. Ours are declining. The Russian military is getting stronger and Russia's influence in the world is steadily increasing. Our military is increasingly hollowed out by political virtue signaling and careerism, and our influence in Asia and Europe is now waning.

We're going down. They're going up.
Perhaps we and Russia will meet in the middle at some point.
