Schlagwort „Brexit“: Ein kurzer Statusbericht
Daily Archives: 16. Dezember 2018
Human rights are under attack everywhere. Brexit is not British, it’s part of a global rise in authoritarianism facilitated by dark money, foreign interference, tech monopoly. We must have a Mueller-style inquiry into the assault on our democracy. Your silence is chilling
I‘m beginning to think Brexit won‘t happen. This will destroy democracy as we know it
It’s over. If Brexit happens at all – and for the first time I’m beginning to think it won’t – it will be on terms that keep the worst aspects of EU membership. Britain will be humbled in the eyes of the world, having tried to recover its independence and been faced down. The largest popular vote in our history will be disregarded, and the nation that exported representative government exposed as an oligarchy. Plus – and I know this sounds almost trivial next to those calamities, but it matters to me – the Conservative Party might never recover.

Mozilla, in a privacy-focused gift guide of its own, determined many tech products have policies that are at a college reading level or higher.
