You outrage is expected. You are about to loose your leading position and you are feeling robbed. But it isn't the first time that this is happening. Remember when Asian countries were robbed of their natural resources, brainwashed away from self-sufficient and sustainable tradition/culture under the pretense of globalization just to create a market that US can sell to? Country that doesn't spend time on facebook or youtube is of no profit to US companies. Several countries' tradition values were replaced with materialism by globalization and caused economical and social suffering.

I don't think Netflix subscribers are as worried about privacy implications of P2P as Netflix is(not interested in sharing data). Netflix already has all history data of all subscribers and can decide to sell/use it as it seems fit thought policy changes. As subscribers, it's no different to have our data visible to one profit driven company vs to all subscribers. Moreover, having this data available publicly would of immensely help in creating transparency among people and bringing then closer.

World would be a lot better place if we starts becoming comfortable with sharing our real thoughts/preferences openly, and it would simplify transition to truly public-sprited internet platforms based on etherium, etc.

Lets not go all fault-finding on this Act. Commercially available drones has gained some superior capabilities and this worries authorities. As common man we aren't allowed to have such capabilities(by now we should be used to this :)). Risks posed by drones to facilities/routines of authorities far exceeds the interests of drone hobbyists. This is an attempt to put curb on commercial drone and its use.

I disagree a bit with you. In today's world we have reached a state where next new research output requires access to advance tools and strong funding which is only available to researchers at flagship institutions. There isn't any real research happening outside of flagship institutions; other institutions may make big claims on research they are doing but they almost never deliver output. In some sense, distribution of nobel prizes per country can be attributed countries research outout.
