Exactly. There are obvious problems with this conundrum and the government's move is not ideal but then the situation we're in is also not ideal. The implications of leaving it unmitigated are eating into our democracy and without a functioning democracy, there's no functioning world wide web.

It feels a bit like chemotherapy. We have to do it even if we harm some systems because otherwise many more systems will go. 🤷
