Because they said, well, this is a minority. People must not care that much. Nobody is really making changes. But when youre actually doing of ath on what 39 of 60 the worlds Global Internet users is, thats 702 Million People around the world who are now safer today than they were just a year and a half ago. And this is i think really where we begin to see the framework of how we can move forward in the absence of political reform, in the absence of legal reform, and this is good. Because what weve seen politically around the world hroughout the development in history is that politics is about power.
