Ostensibly, yes. Just like the Patriot Act was to fight terrorism.

Only had to be an open scam for decades before they decided to do anything about it.

We are still a very rich country. We just choose to use that money on bombing brown people and arresting dissidents rather than ensuring we have good healthcare and educated citizens.

Gambling.

Rude and unhelpful. Are you trying to innoculate OP against people like that in the Linux community? Why not just be different instead?

Surprised to hear there’s enough people on Linux using Chromium to make this worth the time.
