When don't need inflammatory personas like John Oliver in Europe.

What can a "hacker" possibly have against John Oliver? He and his team were the most effective drivers for stronger Net Neutrality policies in the US.

The man is a living legend.

Edit: 12 million views on the abstract topic of Net Neutrality.

That's what I would call a feat indeed:

Well I'm sure some people lost the respect for the guy after he jumped on the "vote for Hillary" bandwagon. But yeah, things like the Snowden interview, Net Neutrality and some other episodes are simply brilliant.

I realise Hillary might not be a pillar of excellence in her personal electrical security, but at least she isn't trying to disband Net Neutrality like Trump currently seems to be. He's changing policies that will affect things for years to come.

And he was right there is no 3rd option in the US election system.

Exactly, time to move on now that fake choice #2 won the election.

Almost comical how easily and predictably we stay on track in terms of bread and circuses politics/media - almost comical - if it weren't all real and there wouldn't be far reaching and dire consequences.

Let's not get played but stick together FFS.

Just because you agree with a person doesn't mean you need to agree with their methods.

Would you care to elaborate? He's from Europe.

Yeah but now he isn't (in Europe) ;)

And I'm sure many people would be happy if he moved to Israel. ;^}
