What if… someone tweets something illegal in Norway. Is Elon Musk a co-defendant now? What if she tweets it while on vacation in the states, where it is legal? And regarding that whole refugee business, could not any Norwegian just take trip to the states, tweet something illegal in Norway, then legitimately claim refugee status? What about the other outfits in Europe, such as… like… “France” and “Australia.” Do they have free speech? And why can’t every nation just adopt the US Bill of Rights and be done with it?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>All of this stands as evidence that technology is fast but law is slow.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>spike<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
