So my question about all this is, what does International law say about people trafficking? Who is actually in charge of enforcing international law?
I think a really good example that I can think of right now is the Atomic Structure model, we started off not knowing what was in side atoms, then moved to a simple orbit model, now we have electron clouds and energy levels. So demonstrates how ideas can develop and be revised over time.
Challenging science with more research, ideas and evidence helps us progress further. This is why learning those critial thinking skills are so important.
It seems today is world diabetes day.
Great news, we need the decentralised networks to raise awareness of new rules / regulations, big tech won't do this as it is not in their interest.

50 years ago today, Count von Count made his first appearance on Sesame Street. The Vampire Muppet, who never seems to bite anyone and can be out in the sun, is obsessed with numbers and counting.
More than just a play on words, Vampire lore from several cultures includes compulsive counting and organization as a trait in such creatures- it's said you can escape one by scattering grain, which they'd then have to stop and count.
